Have you ever wondered about something so trivial as prices at the supermarket?
NO?
You should...
At least, here in México, I have discovered that those Capitalist Ogres (sarcasm) who own
the biggest convenience stores and supermarket chains, aren't playing fair...
But don't take my word for it, just go and check about it.
Why do i say that Math is not for everyone?
Let's begin easy and simple.
I have encountered MANY TIMES, people who, when the cash register has a glitch or doesn't work properly,
and have to use his mind, they rather use a pocket calculator. You would then tell me, " Maybe is in their rules!"
Fine, but to add 40 and 5 or 3 plus 2?? Really? REALLY?
One is able to hear their brain machinery, CLOGGED!
An apology if I sound ( being read) pretentious, nothing like that.
It's sadness, really...
People don't use their brain anymore!
AND... here's the point of this short and sweet writing of mine!
When you need a bar of soap, for example, you go and buy it... easy, isn't it?
you go and purchase said bar, and pay ten pesos ( our price here).
BUT, when you need to buy more because you don't want to go frequently shopping,
you select the package with 5 pieces!
You ar ready to pay 50 pesos when arriving at the cash register.
Punchline, the UPC reader displays 57.50, or sometimes, MORE!!
SO, WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE?
You make a claim, and they tell you that the individual item is a bargain!
Problem here, is that you go and check several other productsand is the same all around!
Inaalmost all chains. And many people don't even check it, or register in their minds the maneuver...
See my point?
BUt as I said before, don't take my word, just go and check it for yourself...
Thanks!
