At my main supermarket, the prices displayed for products are increasingly incorrect. What should I do?
The reason given is that sellers can no longer keep up with the new pricing due to inflation.
My specific question: Should I always reject the increased price suggestion at the checkout, thereby forcing the customer to pay more attention (which would mean extra effort)? I've done it a few times before because the NEW price was too high for me. Sometimes, though, I haven't, because I would have bought the product even if it were more expensive (what else can you do, sometimes?). But I think the prices on the shelves should be properly marked, because price is, at least for me, a significant factor.

Things like that annoy me, too. Sometimes you get the feeling there's a real system behind it—which is probably not true.
You could try talking to the store manager. And of course, you could refuse the purchase at the checkout if you're sure the labeling was incorrect.
I ONLY refuse if I'm 100% sure, and that's where the problem starts: It's not uncommon for me to not even be 100% sure, BUT if I'm complaining, THEN I'm really 100% sure! (I'm not going to make a fool of myself by making a mistake just ONCE). When in doubt (and I'm always very strict about this), I go back again, just to be SURE.
So far I have not complained about a price where I was wrong.
That's probably how I would do it, too. I didn't mean any offense with my last sentence! I wish you a wonderful pre-Christmas season and hope your supermarket takes its labeling a little more seriously in the future.
No. Nobody cares what kind of drama any individual customer makes.
Shop somewhere else if you don't like it.
Just be consistent. There are enough supermarkets.
I don't have any where! There's nothing locally. There are two in the next town (only one of which is a full-range store with limited stock) – I have to drive quite far for some things, and I try to avoid that!
Then I don't understand why you're studying the brochure. If you only shop there anyway, just go there and buy what you need, that's it.
Oh, right. Okay, I'd say something about that too.
It's not about the brochure!!! I don't think they even have one. The brochures I get usually have the markets much too far away.
It's about pricing on the shelf, directly on the product. And nothing else.
