I hate it when this happens!!!

'This' has happened to us twice this week!!

Ordered a large bag of dog food having agreed the price & went to collect it 3 days later as arranged. The 2 people in the shop ended up having a row because one of them didn't agee with the price and so the price was put up by 25tl! We didn't buy the dog food and the shop has lost a new customer.

Yesterday, I was doing the rounds of garden furniture and found a table that I thought my husband would like too, was given price on request and said I would go back today with hubby. Surprise surprise, when we went back today the price had gone up! Consequently we made our table purchase elsewhere and will not go back to the other shop again.
It would be interesting to know if other people who find themselves in these situations also walk away or just stump up the extra money?

Happened to us several times. To answer your question, NEVER would I stump up the extra cash and like you, never would I use the shop(s) in question in future.

That`s the reason we left Turkey, we ran out of shops to use.

This happened when my daughter wanted to purchase a very large very expensive cooker She was given the price and had to measure the newly built kitchen  to see if it would fit Went back the next day to buy it and  the price had gone up so even though it was exactly what she had been looking for we walked out as a matter of principle Another shop ordered it for her and it was cheaper than the original price The answer is don't let them get away with it~~ just walk away

Happened to us on several occasions too......we then walk away....more often than not they will come running after you reverting to the original price !!

In such cases I still told them to stick it - to me a deal is a deal and trying to move the goalposts at a later time and failing is no better than doing it and succeeding.
