I mean, when I'm quoted a price for something and I demand a bill, and I see the bill amount is 1k less than the amount I've paid, it's an issue, no?

Funny how ethics are different for the same person in different situations...
On topic, if you don't like it, don't buy it. Prices should drop once enough people start doing that.
TechHead said:Low blow how? The entire thread reeks of hypocrisy from the beginning. If the thread starter was anyone else, fine.. I wouldn't have an issue. But here, it's a major case of the pot calling the kettle black.

There was debate about this sometime back,same issue,cost of soft drinks in multiplexes.
What it finally reduces to is that when its given to you as is,you have to pay no more than the mrp but if they serve it to you they can charge what ever they want.
1ltr bottle of Aquafina-Mrp Rs.15
Same water served in a glass or something else- Can be Rs.1000(yes thousand).This is Capitalism.Take it or leave it.Competition will obviously bring down the price so it won't last for long.
Every stand on the floor,either influenced by others pricing or collectively deciding to sell it for Rs.100-Oligopoly
1ltr bottle of Aquafina sold for anything more than Rs15 and being given a receipt for anything else-Illegal
1ltr bottle of Aquafina sold as a glass of water for Rs30 collectively by everybody on the mall floor-Illegal Oligopoly,I believe the proper term would be collusion,not sure about this.

If you read what madnav wrote right at the beginning, then it isn't illegal. They literally have a 'license' to do so.Arun1 said:Any of the "polies" mentioned aren't illegal.What the mall people are doing though is illegal.
