Supermarke­t fined

-

Auckland: Pak’nSave Mangere has been fined $78,000 for price discrepanc­ies in 2018.

The supermarke­t was found to have charged a higher price at the till to that which was advertised or displayed on the shelf.

It had earlier pleaded guilty to six charges of making false or misleading representa­tions about price.

Those discrepanc­ies were raised with the supermarke­t by the Commerce Commission, who had sent staff to conduct mystery shops.

Despite this, some were not fixed straight away, and in a written decision, Judge David McNaughton described the conduct as repeatedly careless. — RNZ
