And even if they do complain, it is in a meek fashion. And to hell with the blushes. Supermarket pricing is of concern to the Office of Consumer Affairs. In supermarkets, the price of items is situated on the shelves either below or above the product. Consumers generally do not know the exact price of each specific item, as a result supermarkets can increase charges without recrimination.
Banks are guilty of hidden charges certainly.
Quarterly fees are applied to your account. It is advised to take note of these charges. There are two options as to how you are charged. You can be charged on a per transaction basis of approximately 22 pence or you can pay a set quarterly fee. Consumers generally have no idea the amount of bank charges they are paying and these charges are seen as easy money for the banks.
