I think there's a limit to how much you can overcharge someone for something before it becomes daylight robbery. I bought Vanity Fair at repulse bay wellcome one day without looking at the price. It is pretty much the only mag I buy every month. Got home and saw the sticker price was $95! Holy cow I was fuming. I normally get it from Taste in Stanley for $65. Now that's a massive mark up.
But Taste in Stanley is just as dodgy. You absolutely have to watch how they ring up the items. They like to get the numbers wrong so the other day i was buying some cheap chinese greens that sold for $6 or so yet they rang up as $45 because they'd put the wrong code on somewhere along the line. (they came up as spinach instead) I'm pretty sure it's deliberate as every 2-3 shops there is something wrong with my shopping docket. Imagine how much extra money they make not just from charging people more for things than you can get at the shop next door but for incorrectly pricing things that most people won't pick up on. Bloody hell.
When we leave HK the grocery stores will be the last thing I feel nostalgic about!
