I went to my local supermarket chain and seeing they still had some good looking Muscat grapes available I decided to pick up a bag even though there was a hefty price of 299/kg.
I took the bag to the weighing counter and laid them on the conveyor while the attendant gave me a cheerful smile. The grapes were weighed, I picked up the bag, and while walking back to my cart I glanced at the sticker to see the final price of the bag I chose.
What?? Just a mere 59 THB !!!!!!
That had to be a mistake so I took the bag back to that same attendant and pointed at the price on the sticker. The attendant immediately took the bag, weighed it again, attached a new sticker over the old one, and thanked me several times as I took my newly priced bag and went walking to my cart.
Looking at the sticker, 288 THB, much closer to the expected price.
Now I ask, what would you have done? Would you try to check out with the wrong priced produce hoping that the attendant at the door checking receipts didn't notice it? Or would you do as I did, get the price corrected?
Now for a little humor..... I gave some thought as to why the attendant priced my grapes incorrectly. This is my conclusion and a good example that concentration is not always being used at work. That 58 THB label had the price per kg and description for guava. What do Thais call guava fruit? Farang. I'm definitely a farang having blonde hair and blue eyes. The attendant saw me walking to the weigh station and looked at me directly in the eyes as I laid my bag of grapes down. Not thinking the product code for guava was entered!
