Comarket draws attention with nine cents

Since the end of June, the Comarket stores are offering goods for the prices that end in nine cents.

Why the change? There are no one-cent coins…

Ando Nõupuu, Executive Director of Comarket AS: “We are interested in drawing the customers’ attention to the good prices. As a rule, we are using automatic price handling, and prices end in nines.

At the same time, we are performing manual price handling for nearly five hundred campaign items, and these do to end in nines. According to the Trade Act, section 9, the purchase price is automatically rounded by the cash desk system and on the purchase checks issued. As a rule, customers like all kinds of discounts.”

Külli Raimets, Manager of the Rakvere Comarket outlet, said that they have had differing reactions to this: some have taken the new prices as a joke, some have demanded the one cent back. (VT)
