market transparency?

Can anyone shed light on why the Lulu departmental store is so hyper about customers writing down the prices of electronics displayed in their shops? Sales staff brusquely point out it is against their store policy with no clear reason given. I am unable to understand this especially when they so vigorously promote prices in print advertisements and have all the prices up on display for customers in their store anyways. Has anyone had a similar experience at this at any other such store? Or does anyone know of a rationale behind this?

Obviously the intention to record prices is to research the product and get the best deal for oneself from the market.

Lulu is a store where you get worst customer srvice in Doha. All their staff, especially ladies are rude.After the selection of vegetable, when you approach the staff for price tagging, they`re literally throwing the plastic bag which contains the stuff. Politely I said her, please don`t throw it. You`ll spoil the stuff inside. But her reply was very unpleasant. If you buy biscuits from Lulu, at home you`ll eat biscuit powder. The billing staff is playing cricket with the biscuit packet.
