Shoprite Livingstone charging exuberant unrelated prices.

Shoprite in Livingstone, Zambia have had a few unclear price advertising on their products. They would sell a single product for a specific price and then put two of the products together with a Special Offer notice saying buy 2 for a special price but if you add the two prices together it would be more than buying two separate bottles. It seems they are taking advantage of people that are illiterate and who cannot make the sums themselves. They are *****ing money from people without them even knowing it. Zambia is a country with a lot of illiterate people and Shoprite Livingstone is committing a moral crime by doing this. It is shocking! This is the same with washing powder for example. It would cost less to by 3 x 1kg bags of washing powder than buying a 3kg washing powder bag. They also work out the price of one toilet roll and then just multiply this by the number of rolls in the packet. So regardless of the size of packet you purchase you will always pay the same. I hope this makes sense. Often they would price a product at an exuberant amount and have it on their shelves. Until they realise it's not selling then all of a sudden the price would change. This has been going on for a while and I am getting fed up. They show no loyalty towards their customers by doing this and they are loosing respect.
