Be sure to check prices and to report to Procon when there are failures; always worth the lower value
Do not let the rush of year-end shopping make you careless of price comparison search before buying. Stay tuned for shop windows and shelves to ascertain and report whether the price posting rules are not being respected. I find absurd, for example, shops displaying the products prices, forcing consumers to get to know how much they cost.
It's a shame, but will not see it referring to consumer prices in readers barcode that supermarkets are required to keep every 15 meters inside the establishments. This lack of attention can weigh in your pocket because it can end up paying more, even unknowingly, by differences between the prices reported on the shelves or displays, and recorded in the box. Be sure to check prices and to report to Procon when these failures, because it is fine to establishments disregard this basic right.
When there is disagreement between the bar code and what is posted on the shelves or on the label and recorded in the box, worth the lower price.
Labels with prices must be clearly written. If no optical drives, each product must be priced label or information on the next shelf product.
In case of split sale, offering products should discriminate the total amount to be paid with funding informing the Total Effective Cost (CET); the number, frequency and amount of the installments; interest and any extras and charges that relate to the value of financing or installment.
