Explain the need for consumer consciousness by giving two examples.
Many people seldom bother to check the MRP and pay whatever
the shopkeeper demands. While developing a faith on the neighbourhood
shopkeeper is a good attitude, but one should always check the MRP. Some people
do not even check expiry date on the pack of a medicine. This can prove to
be dangerous and can even be life threatening for the patient who is going to
consume the medicine. These examples suggests that there is a real need for
consumer consciousness. Consumer consciousness is being aware of your right as a
consumer while buying any goods or services.
Examples: 1) It is common to see consumers
bargaining with sellers for additional discounts below the MRP.
2) Because of conscious consumers, most
of the sweet shops do not include the weight of the container when they weigh
sweets.
