Have you ever been lied to by a fruit seller on the market?

because my mother was not strong enough to walk far, so she told my father to buy mango on the market. It turned out that the seller gave mango which was not what my mother intended. after that incident, my father knew that there was a variety of different types of mangoes and it smells.

Surely your father does not have the habit to go to the market to buy fruits. The seller should have known what your mother usually buy.

while in the market there are many sellers there, my father didn't usually buy so he didn't know which seller he could trust.

@May2k8 I can understand, my husband does not know where I go to buy my fruits.

@LadyDuck usually my mother often goes to the market every day, but after the gallstones surgery my mother has no energy to walk far away from home.

Can your father not just go back to the fruit seller nd have it exchanged with the variety your mother wants. Here, you can always exchange it with the rightful type. Provided that you pay for the increment in price if it is more expensive than what was originally brought.

Unfortunately it can't, whatever we have bought cannot be exchanged.

@SIMPLYD Here the seller does not want to lose, they only calculate the profit.

@May2k8 Oh, that is not good. Here it could be exchanged as long as it is not opened yet or peeled.

The vendors who cheat will never get a second chance from me. I am a good buyer so if she/he cheats I don't return.

that is true, opportunities only come once and their fruits will not sell and rot.

@Mavic123456 But in this case the customer is harmed, they should not need to do it.

@May2k8 yes, and they have to sell it to a more cheaper price. when they can make their customers happy by not cheating them.

if the seller is honest it might not lie, but my father happened to meet a seller who was lying.

Even now at supermarkets sell young mangoes and the taste is very sour.

@mesbakh The seller may need money fast and their method is completely wrong if the fruit is not yet time to be picked and sold.

Did she told your father the variety of mango she wants? I hope she does. How's your mother feeling now? There are some sellers who would take advantage.

yes my mother explained in detail but maybe my father forgot, and my mother no longer wanted to deal with that seller. She is feeling a little sad.
