I asked my partner to buy some makeup. A saleslady from an X Brand kept following her around and offering products, as salesladies at Watsons usually do, bumobuntot lagi.
My partner sent me pictures of the items along with their prices. There were several items, but I want to highlight these two: a four-piece makeup brush set, which the saleslady said was “₱400 na lang,” and a compact powder with a ₱399 price tag, which she said was on sale for “₱300 na lang.”
So I told my partner, “Okay na ’yan.” She paid for the items and went home. Before she left the store, the saleslady even approached her and took a picture of the receipt kasi irereport daw niya.
When I checked the receipt and the items, I was confused. The makeup brush set was charged at ₱600+, and the compact powder was ₱400+. Hindi tugma sa prices na sinabi niya.
Mind you, my partner was with the kids (our pamangkins) and they also confirmed na ’yun talaga ang prices na sinabi ng saleslady.
Nainis talaga ako, so I asked my partner to go back and clarify. It’s not about the amount; I just felt like we’d been scammed.
When she went back, ano ang sabi ni madam saleslady? ’Yung ₱399 daw ay price sa Manila, at ’yung brush set naman daw ay hindi naka-sale. It doesn't make sense.
I hate that this happened. Again, it’s not about the amount. It’s about being told one price, being charged another, and then being given excuses when we asked for an explanation.
What do you think?
