So this is their problem abi?

Xscape1993:
Talking about price regulation is not a bad one, but why do we always talk about less important things and leave out the important ones in this part of the world? To me if you know that the price is so high for you in this place, you go to the next place for price comparison.

To me, you should be arrested for lack of understanding.

Ebeano on iralty road, Lekki is number 1 on the list

Okoroawusa:

I notice that it's becoming a common practice by supermarkets in Lagos these days.
Recently I saw a product displayed for 1,950 only for the price to be 2,300 at the cashier's point.
The problem is not the money but the glaring dishonesty

noobody:
JENDOL!!!

see your senseless reasoning.

Nice one , please Abuja should follow and do the right thing.

They not only fail to put price tags they also put a different tag on the product and a higher price on the system.

It's due to constant change in price due to inflation. It happened in Venezuela too

Igboes are very guilty of this. Very unpatriotic people!

He provided the agency’s social media platforms as well as dedicated phone lines for such reports, which are 08124993885, 09064323154, and 08092509777, urging the public to actively participate in safeguarding their consumer rights.

This is the way to go sir ☝️. We will learn by force

ignis:
it shouldn't be compulsory. Competition should be market force that drive purchases. Nobody is forced to buy.

That is just the excuse scammers love to use to steal people's money.

Place a price tag and let people know what price and item is. You can sell your items at N1million if you want. Those who will buy will still buy. Just put a price tag

Like these agencies don't have priorities ! Why not go to oyingbo market and close the entire market cos they didn't put tag on their goods... Just imagine!

IPOB hate sincerity

What is this one saying? Is it so hard to understand the write up?

Bahamas95:
Nice one.


Nigerians are the most wicked people on earth, they take advantage of every opportunity to punish others.



"E don cost o" nai we dey always hear for Nigeria, when e cheap traders nor go talk.

You not a business owner I see

JohnAOne:
Very good.

Also, the practice of putting a different price tag from the one on the system at the cashier must stop!

You'll see a lower price on the product only to get to the cashier and see a higher price.

Is exchange rate their fault?

Did you understand what the article is all about

They should also arrest sellers on Jiji.

Can you enter mall and be asked the cashier the prices of hundreds items on the shelf, some the cashier doesn't if knew the items but oyingbo individually knows their items and prices.always read and understand before comments so that you don't look ........

Those customers are civil servants and businesses owners too or those money were given to them free.imagine you charter truck to transport your goods and reaching your destination the driver said 1m is the charge what's going to be your reaction

You are right same thing happen to me too they are now telling me that the person that will do it is not around that day after 4 days same thing I right this the right way to go

I absolutely agree that some supermarkets should be sealed up as a lesson.

The painful part for me aside from not placing the price tags, is not putting the right prices on the products. You get the products with a particular price on it first; when you get to the counter, the cashier machines and gives you a different price from what is displayed on the counter. That is always so embarrassing and annoying.

I can mention two popular supermarket with this very disgusting behavior.

Exactly why we have very horrible leaders in this country, when youths like you see rubbish all the time like this and it.

Their evil plan is very simple: what you can't have,you destroy it!

ignis:

It has nothing to do with competition. A buyer should know the price of what they are buying before putting it in their cart. This will ensure they are spending within their budget.
And not reaching the counter and the cashier just arbitrarily dole out prices on items. It's called transparency which also helps with competition.

Hmmmm, I don't think there is any illegality therein, stores are not bound to sell at displayed price, that's why, under contract, the displayed price is termed "invitation to treat", what some stores do is to have price checker at various points so you don't have to get to pay point to know the actual price.
It's just like seeing a price online, only to call to place an order, then you get a different quote.

Supermarket is different because you were not given an opportunity to price hence the need for price tag.
