Bhatbhateni scam in Nepal..

I went to Nepal recently.   And I found a big problem. Everybody has opened a superstore rather than a Kirana pasal.    In superstore you can put any price and tag it to the item.   so you cannot bargain.  It will be fixed. You pay what's written.   Every superstore had its own price. There is no market uniformity.


I remember i went to buy a chocolate called Ferero in one of the supermarket near Jawlakhel.  The marked price was around 765 rupees.   I went to bhatbhateni and found same chocolate for 960. I also checked in one small superstore it was 890 rupees.

I am not saying bhatbhateni is expensive. There might be an item that may be cheaper than other stores. But in Nepal there is no consistency.
