You consumer folks out there may have noticed over the years a high proclivity of Penasco merchants to display items on shelves, whether in plumbing, hardware, grocery or clothing outlets, and not display a price. THIS CURSE IS GETTING WORSE!
2 days ago the pet food section manager at Walmart could only shrug his shoulders at my question why 1/3 of the dog food items has no price. I checked a few other departments and the omission of prices has infected the entire store.
So I took my business to Leys. Guess what? Same virus has hit them! It took 15 minutes for a kid runner scooting to a cashier to check the prices on 5 kinds of boxed skim milk!
Yesterday the fruit stand/farmer's market on Sinaloa, which we all know and love, told me he has many missing prices "because prices change often".
Without commenting directly (and negatively) on the work ethic of these merchants, I suggest they could do better if they were informed people who buy their product want to see prices so they can do what people call "comparitive shop, choose and buy". I have discussed this with a few Mexican locals, and they explain it's not a common concept for anyone born and raised in small towns, where there are only one or two sale outlets for any particular product, to post prices.
I suggest these folks can learn quickly the common sense of running a business if shoppers let them know the dirth of posted prices is not acceptable. I won't buy an item if I have to ask it's price.
