It is not the first complaint that is registered on social networks about this practice that is not only carried out by Walmart.
Within certain establishments, commonly in self-service stores or supermarket chains, a practice known as “rounding” tends to be carried out, this consists of leaving the price in a closed number, primarily leaving the cost of a product in whole pesos and not in penny.
It is estimated that between each purchase made in stores that carry out these practices, consumers leave an average of 1 to 4 cents, which is why various users have begun to complain about ant charges in stores, arguing that not even they ask whether or not you want to round up.
This only reflects the opinion of the consumer and the conversation that it generates in the digital pulse, for which Merca 2.0 requested the position of the brand in order to tell both sides of the story; however, so far it has not been received. The note will be updated in case of a response.
