ANPC President Exposes Price Discrepancies at Romanian Store

ANPC President Exposes Price Discrepancies at Romanian Store A recent video posted online shows Cristian Popescu Piedone, president of Romania's National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC), uncovering a case of price discrepancies at a local store. The video, filmed on May 27, 2025, shows Piedone confronting a cashier about the difference in price between the shelf price and the final price charged for a six-pack of Ursus beer. "Here it says one price, and at the checkout, it's another," Piedone states in the video, pointing to the discrepancies on the receipt. The cashier attempts to explain the difference, citing a possible promotion that may not have been properly updated, but Piedone insists on a refund for the customer, which is granted. The incident highlights a common consumer problem and showcases the ANPC's efforts to protect consumer rights. The case serves as a reminder for consumers to always check their receipts to ensure they are not overcharged.
