I come in janet, right now, sale on coca cola 2L for 55 peso but it has allways been 55 peso ? Aholes
THAT's The BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!
There, they give you your money back without hesitation, or excuses.
HERE, you would think you just stole the money from the cash register!
I USED to go to "Carefor" when they first opened.
They NEVER had small change at the register.
At first, I though they were getting the "Bugs Out" of their system.
As time passed, it kept happening, every time I checked out, and the amount was getting up to 10 pesos each time!
Last time I told the clerk to go find me my ten pesos!!!!!
She pointed to the candy display and said, "Take A Mint".
I reached over and took an imported chocolate bar.
She said, "That costs More than 10 pesos!!!
I opened it, started eating it, and, as I walked away, I told her,"I don't have any change, Wanna bite?????
My "Gringo" friend who was with me said,"You Can't Do THAT!!!"
I said, "I Just DID!!!!"

When a large supermarket "F*#ks" me, I get 10 pounds of "Jumbo Shrimp", or 4 pounds of imported cheese, then hide it somewhere they won't find it before the rats do, or the "Stink" get too bad! :devious::devious::devious:
If this bothers you, you really have issues.
Ask for a "Presidente, Bien Fria", when he hands it to you, take a big swig, reach in your pocket, look surprised, say "No Tengo", and see what happens.

When I was fighting over 2 pesos in the supermarket the cashier asked them from the guy who was bagging the groceries. She probably thought I would feel bad. I asked her if she would accept if I would pay 2 pesos short. I agree with Criss, it's a matter of principle not having issues. I can wait 15 minutes for my 2 pesos, nothing better to do anyway.

They can charge me a premium, as long as that chica that works the aisles doing inventory, continues to display those huge mangos.Sometimes I forget why I went into that store.
here is one you should never do;
let us say that your bill is 93 pesos. you do not want 7 pesos on change, but you would rather a single 10 peso coin instead. so you give them a 100 peso bill, plus 3 pesos. they will never figure that one out.
I've looked for these mangoes, i mean this woman the last 2 times i've been there. I feel like i am missing out on a very important Janets experience!!!!
If you are really annoyed why don't you teach them a lesson and stop shopping there?
Do you know why fresh food needs no expire sticker?
Try to get away from the pre-packaged american mentality.
I don't stoop to pick up a centavo, because they are not worth anything and I have a sore back.
I'd rather watch the girls on the beach than scratch for pennies, which by the way are discontinued in some "civilized" countries!:bunny::bunny::bunny:
Yesterday I found a package of bacon in National in Santiago (imported from the states) The label states november 2011for expiring. I showed to the manager he said it was not correct labeled because it still looks ok. The label was the origin label from the producer. i think beside of fraud on the prices, one have to check every item on the dateFor me it's a lot MORE than a few pesos!
Spending about 80,000 pesos a month on food, you get good at catching the "Super Market Scams" here.
I like Supermercados National, but they are the WORST at having one "SALE" price at the item, and another at the register!!!
Sometimes 50 pesos on an expensive item.
They ALWAYS claim "Computer Error", but after shopping there since 1986, only one time, out of Thousands, has the "Computer Erred" in MY FAVOR!!!!!!!!!!
I was once charged 400 pesos each on 10 cans of sardines that were "On Sale" for 20 pesos each!
I didn't notice until I got home.
(Cashier Was A Real FOX, and I was looking at her, not the cash register)
I went back to see the manager, I told him, and showed him, what had happened.
He gave me "The Look", and spent forever "Verifying" my "Claim"!
I mean, "c mon", 4000 pesos for 10 cans of sardines?????
AND, be sure an check the "Date Code" on EVERYTHING!
Especially if is from the USA.
They buy stuff that is out-of-code, or nearly "OUT" to dump here.
Dominicans never know, since they have no idea what a "Date Code" is, or how to read it!
I Do!
I pointed out to the manager at Sup Mer Nat. all of one item imported from the USA was "Out Dated".
He put a "surprised" look on his face, called someone to remove them.
Next day, they were all back!
The only time I get good, "Customer Service" here, is when I pay a prostitute for a "BJ"!
