I don't know how many times have I been made to pay extra while at home.
Did you know itβs completely ILLEGAL for tuckshops to charge an extra "Speedpoint fee" (R2βR10) to swipe your card, or add extra fees on airtime? π³
βSection 23 of the CPA & banking rules state the shelf price MUST be the price at the till. Surcharging is strictly forbidden.
βThis widespread trend is a massive regulatory failureβthe NCC and banks are asleep at the wheel while consumers get exploited daily by lawless pricing.
βFight back:
1οΈβ£ Demand the displayed price.
2οΈβ£ Snap a photo of illegal fee signs.
3οΈβ£ Report them to the machine provider (Yoco, Flash, or bank) or the Consumer Ombud (CGSO: info@cgso.org.za).
βKnow your rights. Retweet to stop the exploitation! π’πΏπ¦
