A stupid decision like tampering with the price tags can harm the business

[Starmix]

Tampering with price tags is definitely a no-no for any business. It's like shooting yourself in the foot. It can lead to a whole bunch of problems, like losing customers’ trust. Getting into legal trouble and just making the business look bad overall.

It could be frustrating on the part of the customers who might know the original price. It feels the business owner is trying to trick the customers into earning more, which is wrong. It is so disheartening when you see a store doing = something shady like that. It makes the customers lose faith in them.

Price manipulation is a serious form of fraud that can lead to legal penalties, loss of customer trust, and irreparable damage to a business's reputation. These deceptive practices affect both consumers and retailers, generating financial losses and widespread mistrust.

That is true, tampering the prices is punishable by law if caught and reported by the customers. This kind of business owner will face defamation and customer losses for being dishonest.

Some businesses do this, and it is frustrating. When I encounter such a thing, I no longer visit that store. There are better options available, that is for sure.

I also encountered it and asked the teller about the tampered tag, but she did not answer me. However, I didn't buy the item. I hate cheater business.

That is true. Customer loses trust on the person if tampering is done on the price tag. I won't prefer going to such a shop if I find so.

A customer gets discouraged when he or she discovered a tampered tag. It loses trust and customers will never come back. They will also spread the bad news, that could cause reduction of customers and sales.

It is better to replace the tag than to tamper it.

When it comes to running your business, just be fair with your prices and you are definitely good to go.

Those business owners who tamper with the price tags will lose customers. The customers will no longer trust that store.
