" Price per Rise" is unfair consumer practice, forcing people to pay for bigger sizes - in the same range !!!People must protest by not buying!

There is a terrible new trend that stores are trying to get away with in South Africa, and possibly in other countries. A sneaky new pricing system that is completely insulting - and should be illegal. Prices are adjusted, within the same range, according TO SIZE. If you are at the bigger end - you Pay 10% MORE FOR THE SAME ITEM. How can this be allowed ? I am so insulted ! What is your opinion? Have you ever seen this in your local clothing stores?

Hi Sishy, thank for joining the conversation ! Have you seen price changes within the same range? Egs items that are together on a single rail or shelf ?

@PopcornPop Yes, the same range would be priced higher for sizes L and above, for instance...

Never heard of the system. We pay the same price regardless the size. Why the poster though?
