Carrefour thank you 50dirhams change....

So here's a twister...

At the end of the day, the cashier has to ensure that the correct amount is in the till.

My question - Is it possible that the cashiers are using this ploy to enhance the pay - with the blessing of Carrefour...

Pay by plastic... dont forget to smile ;)

If they can add 5,8,15,18,27,dirhams to the total amount and they cant make it as round figure then why we should leave the 50dirhams to Hyper market ..instead we can add 50dirhams and give in charity.

true, not only carefour, its done by almost every hyper/super market

Not only carrefour is doing the same practice ... all of the supermarket's and hypermarket's in Doha actually,,, offering chewing gum or chocolait bars instead.

But whenever i got this small amount I always keep it together and when times come that Im running out of cash, I can able to use it some small items.

Sometimes we cannot notice but this small amount would be a Big help to us.

Exactly a calculation I did a few years ago. Well explained. The little shop opposite me always offers the 50dhrs....the hypermarkets...no.

I like your idea. i think I'll do the same from now on ..

I will do that next time happy go lucky, I will insist for my dirhams change or give back their chewing gums with my old receipt with it.never mind about the long queue...

but sometimes if my change would be 75 dirhams, they're giving me 1 QR...

Maybe half of your change is given to me, you can claim it anytime :)

i just post this, coz I pity those customers with the low salary,I was at the same counter queing with the nepali cleaner in front of me..he is about to pay a juice for 1.50.He was smilling before he pay the juice,after he gave his 2 riyals the cashier give back to him is just a receipt with out the 50dirhams and saying sorry no dirhams available..the cleaner just nod his head and left the counter with a sad face.Imagine with his supposed to be 50dirhams change he just add a riyal and have a bottle of juice for the next day...

typing mistake. :(

pilipi_nyana... when she gave you that cocoa chocolate, that itself was a proof that they dont give change but instead something else...one of them refused me first time when I gave 7 of those chewing gums... but I insisted ... finally as the queue was getting a bit anxious the deal went through...:)

you can demand your change if you really want...

how many of you people out here have these 50dhs coins in the corners of their rooms?

" Deal for wheel, its a nice feeling if u said keep the change to the cashiers..at least u knew that it will goes to the cashier, but everybody knows it will go directly to the carrefour treasury..

Use your credit card.

I already did that happygo lucky..the lady just smile to me and said she cant accept it..I told her I just received it to other cashier 2 hours ago...she just smile and again nothing and another tofuk cocoa chocolate for a change..

yeah snessy nobody wants their batook chewing gums..

Just carry their chewing gums or whatever they give for 50DHS when you go next time... its also fun to see their expression when you offer them those chewing gums...:)

even myself dont bother to wait for a small amount return, better i like to say 'keep the change'!

Brit, That's Panda.

BTW, I always pay with a credit card to the exact Dirham. These shops are getting nowt out of me :o)

Best option is what a chain in Saudi does ..

They don't give you the 50 Dhs change, but donate it to a charity. This is shown on the recipt and verified by auditors at the end of the year...........

What karachai rizks??? yeah but you can add 50 dirhams with your 50 dirhams change and it equivalent to a piece of egg...

what can i do ...another Egyptian revolution against carrefour??

but when you mention the 50 dirham they will reply nothing.

Actually the government should do something about watching the prices.....

this is the pig issue that we are facing against Hypermarkets.

WTF has condoms got to do with this thread?

I always ask for my change and refuse to take their crap chewing gum.

lol baldricks...did he accepted the chewing gum ?

its about the stupid excuse they keep giving. They cant forego 50 dirhams for the customer but they sure are eager to take it. Best way is to always keep change in our hands so that they dont get to make this excuse.

rush at the counter I think is not a valid reason....customers are patient to wait for their turn...

one shot...if 15O customers demand 50 dirhams from you, are you willing to give them 50 dirhams each...

Hehe!

Last night I had a pizza delivery.

I paid the EXACT amount which included 2x50dirham coins.

The delivery boy said "I can't take coins. Company policy"!!!!!

I offered him some chewing gum instead :P

we dont even get Karak chai for 50Dhs....:(

I agreed saeedkan...

one_shot you don't complain when Carrefour steals from you and yet you complain when someone complains about it?? Weird complaint

its not the ? of 50Dhs. its about their attitude

will they reduce 50Dhs on their listed products?

yeah mr random guy, they had already profit with the items you bought and more getting profit by means of not giving change...imagine how many customers not getting their dirhams per hour a day???

not so after if one time ,but,always happen to me i just wondring,if you buy there for ten times na tens times with 50 dirhams change..????

PM..and i will give you this 50 dirham...don't get angry , it is bad for your health.

So you noticed that they stole the 50 dirham and u didn't notice that they are getting profits on their products more than 100 %????? weird complain

You are surprised when someone complains over 50 Dhs and are you not surprised that Carrefour steals 50 Dhs??

We are not as rich as Carrefour.

ranting for 50 Dhs

???
