Prachinburi print shop overcharges customer, shocking Internet

[webfact]

 

A disheartening incident unfolded when a woman was charged 500 baht for scanning four documents, at a print shop in the area of Ban Rabao Phai, Sri Maha Pho District, Prachinburi. The shop owner extended his apologies due to a lack of knowledge about appropriate pricing and offered a reimbursement, which the woman declined.

 

Upon scanning the documents, the customer, Siriporn, was startled by the inflated expense for a single coloured document priced at 400 baht and three additional black and white pages at 25 baht per page.

 

The total came out to 500 baht, much higher than what is generally accepted for such services, leading her to vent her shock on social media. The incident has sparked widespread attention amongst Facebook users, with many sympathising with her predicament.

 

Upon visiting the print shop, reporters found that it also functioned as a hair salon and photograph service provider. The shop is owned by a woman and her son, who manages the copying and printing service.

The son, who is reported as having developmental disabilities, primarily manages the pricing of the copying service. However, the mother admitted that she also agreed with the charges because the colour photocopy price was calculated similarly to that of colour photographs.

????????????

It has happened to me, ฿75 for a copy from flash drive. That's why I always ask for the cost of any service ever since.
