Is this considered a Con Job by NTUC?
-
Just now an old woman was complaining that she was dupe by NTUC.
She was at NTUC Kallang supermarket and when she paid for her purchases, she was given a voucher that says $5 on it and told to go and collect some products.
What you you think? That NTUC had given you a voucher to collect free gifts isn't it?
The old woman went to the displays and was told to select some items. After she selected the items, she was told to pay $5/-
OK maybe she misunderstood...
She told them she thought it was free gifts... and she does not want it if she had to pay.
Get this, she was told, "No you have to pay... you have selected the products..."
She paid the money. Is this daylight robbery? How low down can NTUC get, duping old people.
If those two guys told me "cannot" I would have thrown the "free gifts" in his face... and walked off. -
how could it be?
i bet it is a misunderstanding. -
I suppose the "2 guys" are not NTUC staffs? or those people who usually sit outside NTUC, for e.g, you can get free gift etc like a pen. Then the auntie din know but might have selected a product that they are selling and thus they forced the auntie to buy?~?!

read the T&C.
and then, nowadays there are so many ple selling fake vouchers... -
But it was NTUC that gave her the voucher. They should had explained to her that it is not "free gifts"Originally posted by Y_Shun:I suppose the "2 guys" are not NTUC staffs? or those people who usually sit outside NTUC, for e.g, you can get free gift etc like a pen.

She now thinks that NTUC cannot sell those products and is using this method to get rid of it! She kept saying NTUC so low down, NTUC so low down... -
Old women don't even know what "T&C" is... you give them a voucher, they think you are giving them "free gifts" It is not too ridiculous to think that.Originally posted by browniebaobao:read the T&C.

" Here is a $5 voucher, go over there and select the goods " what will you think? -
A high paying materialistic society, nonetheless... respect for the elderly?
nay, con them, rape them, gst them... -
This is how they trick you to buy, Singaporean mind set had slowly change towards the meaning of free gift, started from those time share thing and cheap car ad that made ppl to go down and end up buying thing. Free thing dun come cheap and cheap thing dun come free. Just learn how to reject this kind of offer from ppl trying to sweet talk to you.
The latest one is the M1 boardband that someone say it is misleading. -

Only if you are educated and not physically blind... if you are old and uneducated and an organisation you thought you can trust like NTUC comes along and con you... you don't stand a chance. Furthermore, the government is behind NTUC like the government at one time was behind NKF and NKF could get away with murder.

i dun understand..
wad's the $5 voucher for? it cannot be used?
NTUC gave it to the old lady for naught? -
well the question is what was it that she was 'forced' to buy? why wasn;t she not allowed not to buy instead of being 'forced to buy'? what was the product actually?

Will be useful for other consumers to know so that we are aware of what to avoidOriginally posted by 4getmenot:well the question is what was it that she was 'forced' to buy? why wasn;t she not allowed not to buy instead of being 'forced to buy'? what was the product actually? -
conditions apply but she cannot be forced to "buy" the thing if she doesn't want it...
in any court of law, if she does not know what it meant, any "contract" would be set aside for "mistake"
and here, clearly no contract was made as there was no clear consideration given.. -
May be the oldlady took the wrong voucher?Originally posted by dragg:how could it be?
i bet it is a misunderstanding.
or she took more than $5.00...
she have to paid paid the balance... -
NTUC and NTUC supermarket different things hor..
