If You Advertise a USD price, I’d Expect it To Be A USD Price

Published:

There have been 3 times within the past week where shops that advertise USD prices don’t actually have them. It’s isn’t much money in the grand scheme of things, but if you say that there’s a deal for $4.75, you can the surprised when people are annoyed that it costs $5.83 at check out.

Yes we know you’re playing tricks with the exchange rate, but every sensible country has a means of correcting prices based on advertising. Why the hell is it my problem that your money laundering system is incapable of doing maths properly?

These are the sort of things that should be reported to a consumer protection authority, but it’s Zimbabwe so it won’t accomplish shit.

“Open for business” my ass.
