...idle customers also cause this confusion. You find a packet of Omo placed next to a loaf of bread and one is likely to read the Omos price as that of bread.Uchumi is not as swift as let's say Nakumatt in putting things back where they are supposed to be. Customers also remove the tags and put different ones...

...Listen to this confession... In the early Ninties, just after graduation, I walked into a Mhindi shop in Bishara street with the aim of buying my 'then sweetheart, who is now my wife' a teddy bear. The one that pleased me most was costing Ksh 4,500. Next to it was one costing Ksh 1,500. I had only Ksh 1200 for my sweethearts teddy bear. So beacuse there was only a Mhindi cashier and a very bored shop attendant who kept on yawning several times, I told him to leave me alone so that I can make my choice. I exchanged the teddy bears so that the one for Ksh 4,500 was in the plastic bag labelled Ksh 1,500 and vice versa.

...My next task was now to go and bargain. As usual I started by splitting the price and offered Ksh 750. We settled at Ksh 900. I paid still complaining how teddy bears were expensive in that shop. I used Ksh 200 to add some flowers (have never bought others since then!!!) on the teddy bear. ...and that is how I won myself a wife....

@Magigi if that was you then you're truly a desereved winner!

@Muk
U wa high on some stuff that is not local --- how can u not notice 1000shs difference or u swim in some money pool!!

The only unfairness in this thread is that it is labelled uchumi only. It is also very rampant in tuskys and nakumatt. I have changed supermarkets a couple of times because of this nonsense. Uchumi ngong road keep giving less change at the till. Luckily am keen. But if its a shilling or two from each customer, how much do they fleece@ the end?? Tuskys and nakumatt do not label correct price and ive come to believe its on purpose. Especially nakumatt mega and the tuskys at busstation and near railways...if its just 'laziness' why has it become so rampant with SO many complaints. It is tact to fleece customers especialy those paying by credit card. I dont know who else to complain to because last i raised it in nakumatt,looked like i was speaking to myself. I am not understanding people claiming ignorance for them? Is it because it has not happened to you?
