During the rainy season, it is common to go to supermarkets and convenience stores to buy an umbrella for emergency emergency.
But recently, some citizens discovered that buying umbrellas in convenience stores was also a "routine".
There are many umbrellas on the shelf, and the price depends on guessing. When you scan the code and check out, you find that it is far beyond the psychological price.
Phenomenon 1: Umbrellas are not priced
On July 5, a netizen reported that she picked out an umbrella without a price tag in the convenience store, only to find out that the umbrella cost 88 yuan at the checkout.
Yesterday, according to the feedback of netizens, the reporter visited a number of chain convenience stores and found that such a situation is universal.
Take a convenience store in the Chongwenmen business district as an example. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a small shelf full of umbrellas, some marked with the price, some not.
Pick up one, the umbrella price is 68 yuan, this price is obviously not suitable for temporary emergency.
Among the many umbrellas, the reporter picked the smallest one. Although this umbrella has no price, can it be cheaper if it is small?
I was surprised when I scanned the QR code to check out, and the price was 79 yuan.
Phenomenon 2: The cargo sign is not in place
On July 10, Mr. Zhao, a citizen, went to a convenience store near Shuangjing to buy umbrellas. One to three price tags were posted on each shelf. Which umbrellas corresponded to each price tag was really impressive. confused.
Mr. Zhao said that the specifications of the umbrella were written on the price tag, but the words were very small, and some were even worn out and could not be seen clearly.
He found a price tag marked 14.9 yuan on the penultimate floor.
However, when I picked up the umbrella and went to checkout, I found out that the actual price of this umbrella was 45 yuan.
The reporter visited this convenience store and quickly found a price tag marked 14.9 yuan.
A piece of translucent red paper is pasted on the commodity name of the price tag, which can be carefully identified through the red paper. The name of the blocked item is actually slippers.
And there are indeed slippers on this shelf, which are at the bottom, and it is almost difficult to see without squatting down.
Regulatory authorities have requirements for clearly marked prices
When visiting various convenience stores, the reporter asked a number of store clerks why they did not list the price. Some store clerks responded that the convenience store uses a self-checkout method to scan the code, and the price will be displayed on the screen when the code is scanned, which is the clear price. The clerk said that the products on the shelves are frequently moved, but the price tag is sticky, and sometimes there is a misalignment, but it can not be regarded as the price tag.
In fact, as early as April 25, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision issued the "Reminder and Warning Letter to Regulate Market Price Behavior" to all operators and related units. It is necessary to ensure that the price tag is complete, the content of the price tag is true and clear, the handwriting is clear, the label is aligned, and the label is eye-catching.
If the price of umbrellas can be implemented in accordance with the above requirements, the "umbrella routine" will have nowhere to hide in front of consumers.
