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

Some common unnoticed scams

They happen everyday; some go unnoticed like change at buses or supermarkets or stores. Some sellers, drivers will not give you the 50 or 25 centavos change.   Multiply that by a thousand customers passengers a day and number of terminals in a supermarket say 50, multiply by 30 days and 12 months, the amounts could be staggering.

One of the scams happen with the load;  after 10 texts or 1 minute call, the phone announces that there is no more load.   Has this happened to you?  But it happens to many people.  Your 50 pesos load gone.

Is there a law against this?

Have you been a victim?
