Riel only pricing directive?

Post by chinesetakeaway »

I noticed that lucky is switching their pricing to Riel only as opposed to showing $/riel. Is this from the top?

It's actually been law for at least three years that prices should be in Riel first/most prominently but like many laws here... But, yes, the checkout seemed to use the Riel as the base for the first time yesterday.

I gave up on their shops years ago because nothing had a price on it, they just had random prices of (often different products) on the shelves.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Normally I go to Lucky almost every day....largely for the exercise too.... But mainly for the 50% and 70 % off sales.....My purchases normally average between 5-15$ per visit...
In the past they got it right 90 % of the time...Floor managers had to come over last year (often via walkie talkies) to key in the purchases...
seems to be easier ro key in discounted pruces for regular tellers now.... But as with all new applications, check the figures on the bill before leaving.... I normally spot the mistakes on the screen before handing overmy money but this coulf be a lot more difficult now

It’s still only 20-60k purchases... hardly worth the worry ...
