What consumer behaviors make you feel obviously cheated?

Many consumer behaviors in daily life make me feel obviously cheated. For example, hawkers in vegetable markets are short of weight, e-commerce platforms exaggerate goods, and operators are trapped in various mobile phone packages. The traffic packets they bought are obviously not used up, but they will force you to reset them next month. This is typical robber logic. For example, if you go to the store to buy a bag of rice, the store stipulates that you must finish this bag of rice at the end of the month. At the end of the month, the store forcibly takes away the rest of your rice.

Every day, I go to the vegetable market to buy food. If you don't look at the scale yourself, the vendor will give you advice. Last week, I went to the vegetable market and saw a middle-aged woman selling pea tips at a stall. She looked fresh and went up to ask the price. She said the price was five yuan a catty, and I thought it was ok, so I chose some. She said it was twelve yuan. After I paid the money, I went home and weighed it with my own electronic scale, which was exactly two kilograms. According to the price of five dollars, it was originally ten dollars. In fact, according to the unit price of six yuan per catty, although it is only two yuan, it is not a taste to be fooled by others, and there is an obvious feeling of being cheated.

Some time ago, I considered installing a webcam at home. On an e-commerce platform, I saw a webcam at a price of only 20 yuan. The advertisement said that I don't need to connect to the power supply. As long as I can stand by for 90 days after charging, I can connect to the wireless network without plugging in the network cable. It comes with a large memory card of 250G, so I can monitor my home in real time through the network no matter where I am. I thought it was really cheap, so I bought one, but when I took it home, I found that it was not the case at all. The function in the advertisement was exaggerated. First of all, this camera can only be turned on for less than 20 minutes after charging, and then it will be turned off. If you keep connecting the charger to it, well, congratulations, the camera crashed immediately. Even so, after the wireless network is set up at home, when it is turned on frequently again, the network will be disconnected and can't be connected for a long time, let alone monitor the situation at home in real time, and turning on the computer will also be a problem.

Every month, the customer service of the communication operator will call and say, are you the owner of XXX phone? Then I said yes, and she did as she had written. Then in order to give back to old users like you, we recommend XX package for you. As long as you dare to say yes, congratulations on being trapped. In the past, my one-month 19 yuan package was enough. Boy, I was tricked into paying 80 yuan for the package. A friend of mine is even more outrageous, upgrading from a one-month 19 yuan package to one. The most annoying thing is that most of the traffic packets I buy every month are left at the end of the month, but because of the time limit, they will be cleared next month, which is too bullying.

Using the logic of these communication operators, if you go to a store to buy a barrel of oil, but the store stipulates that you must finish this barrel of oil at the end of the month, if you don't finish it at the end of the month, the store will forcibly take it back. What is this? Isn't this robber logic? What's more, nobody cares about this robber logic? It can only be said that communication operators are really hand-eye, rich and powerful, dare to do such robbery blatantly, and only sell money with traffic. That's not enough, we have to rob! This is not just a simple deception, this is a simple bullying, but you can only stare at him and do nothing about him.

The consumer behaviors that make me feel cheated in my life mainly include the following categories.

I. Communication operators

There are two main cheating behaviors of communication operators. The first is to upgrade the mobile phone package at will, and the second is to set the usage time limit for the traffic package.

Second, the vegetable market vendors

Cheating behavior of hawkers in vegetable markets can be divided into four categories: one is asking exorbitant prices, the other is short weight, the third is shoddy, and the fourth is tampering with the scales.

Third, e-commerce platform.

There are five main types of cheating on e-commerce platforms. The first is regular consumption, the second is exaggerated propaganda, the third is short weight and short weight, the fourth is shoddy, and the fifth is rising commodity prices.

Many consumer behaviors in my life make me feel cheated, ranging from buying food in the vegetable market to being bullied by communication operators every month, or the goods bought on the e-commerce platform are completely waste products, and consumption is cheated everywhere.
