The Price is Wrong: A Los Angeles Resident's Observations on Inconsistent Pricing
Los Angeles resident Sade Sellers recently shared her observations on the seemingly illogical pricing discrepancies she encounters in her daily life. In a short video, Sellers notes the price of a small latte and a croissant, both costing $7, yet purchased at different locations just two blocks apart. "Why is my small latte $7 on one corner and I walk two blocks down to the next corner and the croissant is $7?" she questions. She also highlights the $120 cost for her dog's grooming and her own full set of nails, both costing the same, prompting further questions about pricing practices. Sellers also comments on the additional 10-cent charge for credit card payments compared to cash, even when the amount of goods remains the same. While her observations are anecdotal, they highlight a common frustration among consumers regarding inconsistent and seemingly illogical pricing.
