Scammed by Giant Hypermart

I hate grocery shopping, especially when I go here...



Somehow I never do trust Giant. Their "Lowest prices in Malaysia" motto is really arguable in the sense that their prices is not as low as the kedai runcit I always go to near my place. I still think Tesco provides cheaper goods than Giant.

Since Giant was the nearest hypermarket around my area and I needed some stuff for CF camp so urgently I had no choice but to bump in at Giant and grab a few stuff with Julian. Going to Giant was our last resort, especially since petrol prices had increased. It would be too much hassle, a waste of time and money(petrol increase) to go all the way to Tesco in Mutiara Damansara just to get stuff by a few sens cheaper, but It was rather ironic to see this on the way.......



No damage, no abnormalities, good car but no money to pay petrol izzit? The owner of the car must be very tulan but that's what you get with the drastic hike in petrol prices. I don't think I'll be surprised to see a Ferrari or a Porshe get towed away next due to no money to pay fuel.

Continuing from where we left off, as we reached Giant,we got what we needed like eggs, flour and other personal stuff like my pants.

Now tell me if the pants below here is worth RM54.90



and before you start shooting at me for being an idiot for choosing an expensive pants. Let me assure you that I was imagely scammed by a big sign that says...



and after being scanned at the counter the price oh-so-magically shoot up to RM54.90. That's just ridiculous, who in this round round world would actually buy a 'cipalak' pants for RM54.90?! Pasar malam's could do better if you ask me, cheap, affordable and not-too-bad quality. The eggs that we bought was labelled for RM5.00, but God knows what black magic occurred and it suddenly became RM6.00.

I couldn't be bothered to argue with the cashier lady as there was a long queue behind. So half heartedly I had to pay for the pants though it was price labelled wrongly.

After that I went in again to find Julian. After we got we needed, we checked out at the nearest cashier and that's when hell broke loose. The prices were inaccurate and we ran off budget. But luckily I came prepared with a discount voucher.



Cashier: Semuanya RM25.39 (All together RM25.39)
Me: Boleh guna voucher ni? (Can use this voucher?)
Cashier: Tak boleh la, RM50 ke atas jer boleh guna. (Cannot, only RM50 above can use)
Me: Har???
Cashier: Baca kat belakang (Read the back)
Me: !$%&^#$*@

So much for a life saver. Not to mention that was the last day it was usable since it expires the next day and it was only issued 2 days ago. I felt so cheated and if things continue, we might have to wash dishes for them. Somehow managed to get my dad to loan me a few extra bucks.

Nevertheless, I hate Giant. Their prices are high and they scam alot. With that said I'll never acknowledge Giant as the 'Leading Low Prices In Town" as they claim to be. I think this suits them more..........
