Scam in giving change (sencillo)

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one





This evening, I bought some essential goods for a famous retailer (financed by ADB)  The problem was in the change.  I   was supposed to  get a change of P4.75.  The clerk gave me P4.50

That is what PRRD hates and it is illegal in DC!

Maybe they just price their goods in whole numbers.   This amount of withheld change can amount to huge number if tolerated.  Multiply by branches and number of customers

Not giving change due to alleged shortage of coins tantamount to estafa

Every minute a sucker is born (PT Barnaum). Let us not be one

I bought a cold coffee in one of the low priced convenience store in the mountains.  I was to given a change of P0.25.  And I was waiting.   

Their other branches habitually do not give change.   We remember before we protested vs stores giving candies as change.    And in Davao City, it was considered a crime if you do not give exact change.  


This post demanded the P0.25.   There was a study that if done daily and on a year, either the cashier or the establishment hauls in a large sum if they miss giving change.  This is prevalent in new retail stores being put up en masse

Can we call out this multilateral institution funded convenience store for the non giving of change to customers.??  Can they train their staff on integrity.   I discovered in 4 decades in business that all people try to do their own MO to defraud customers.    Despite being Christians.
