I've encountered all of these tactics stores use to bilk their customers. I'm a very careful shopper and compare prices to the weight of the same products of different brands. I also count up the cost of the items in my head before checking out and if there's a discrepancy, I check the sales slip very carefully before leaving. If I'm charged more for an item than advertised or was priced, I make the store make good on it and if they refuse, then I also refuse to buy it. Most stores don't want you to raise a stink about their practices, so they most always capitulate and apologize.

Ever notice when checking out at the store, if there's a mistake on what they charge you. That so called mistake is ALWAYS in the stores favor, by OVER CHARGING YOU!. It's very rare that they make a mistake by under charging you. It's no mistake my friends, or at least 90% of the time it's not a mistake, it was intentional!

This maybe slightly off topic, but it's close.

Have you noticed just how deceptive TV commercials have become. You really need to pay close attention and read between the lines anymore. Seems they've invented all kinds of ways to lie and get away with it. And or they rely on the fact that so many people are plain stupid and will beleive anything. One of my favorite TV ads is for the fake medicine, HEADON. The next time you see that commercial, watch and listen very closely.
They say
"Headon apply it to your forehead" BUT they do not ever say what it's actually for. One assumes it for headaches, well, they NEVER say that or even mention what's it's for. But yet, countless dumb butts buy it anyway, they must sell tons of it.
"Headon, apply it to your forehead"
Is it for wrinkles?
Is it for age spots?
is it for balding?
Is it for headaches?...WHO KNOWS because they simply never say, nor do they make any claims what so ever. But yet, perhaps millions of very dumb people buy that product anyway, not having any idea what it's actually for. I find that to be amazing, very stupid of people but amazing!
Then we have ENZITE! There again, they NEVER say what it's actually used for. You may think they say, but watch closely, they do NOT say! The ad only suggests it will make your penis bigger. Again, they make no firm claims what so ever. Buy yet, millions of dumb a$$es have bought it, HOOK LINE & SINKER! If ENZITE actually did what they suggest it does, then no TV ads would be needed. They would be unable to keep in on the store shelves. What man doesn't want a bigger penis!?
And I say, the fact that countless millions of people buy into this deception, then that explains why so many people are willing to buy into the left wing TV NEWS BS! They are just to stupid to know any better or, they are NOT paying close attention to the FACTS of the matter. People really need to wake the freak up, their stupidity is really showing through. WAKE UP YOU MORONS. -
