Consumer Questions

Prices up to stores _ cee |

_ Two questions this month on.
comparison shopping: “os

-1. Do stores have to give
prices-over the telephone?

2. Don’t I have a right to

copy down prices in a store?

The answer to both of.

these is.a. regrettable **no.””
Once again we’re in the area
of policy, and stores set these

themselves. In. other’ words, .

if a store doesn’t want to give

prices over the telephone it .

- doesn’t have to. Or if they,

don’t want to, they don’t’ -

have to allow you -to write
down prices...

-There should be no reason
for stores to enforce either of
these policies, but many do.
