Usual price of cotton buds is $3.15, but after 'sale', I was charged more

STOMPer Sharon bought cotton buds at the Robinsons sale yesterday (Mar 31), but was dismayed to find she was charged 20-cents more than the usual price.

Said Sharon in her email (Apr 1):

"On a recent visit to Robinsons on 31st March 2011, I bought some items.

"One of the items was a pack of 6 x cotton buds.

"On the tag, it stated: U.P. $3.15. However, after sale, it's $3.35!

"I only realised it when I got home.

"I called the store and they claimed that the beauty and toiletries department phoneline is engaged and will get someone to call me back.

"Till now, I am still waiting for an explanation."

Nobody is going to call you back because of 20cents. Stop waiting by your phone.

RighteousRenegade said on 5 Apr, 2011 Report as offensive

Aunty, you went all the way to Robinson's to save 20cents?

Its not that she/he is complaining abt getting back 20 cents, but is about unright thing. New bus fare system had calculation error and everybody was charged 3 or 4 cents more. Bus companies accumulated more than 300,000 dollars.
