As a customer, do you always read The Fine Print ?

Usually any transaction that has something to do with money, either the receipt or the contract that you sign has this tiny prints of sentences or paragraphs on the bottom or the back of the page. Let say, you get a new credit card. The big print always tell you what you get, but this fine prints actually tells you, what they take or will take from you such as the late fee, or the interest fee, etc,etc.. Believe it not, even coupons that you can use in certain stores has this too. The big print says how much you get the discount by using the coupon, and the fine prints actually tells you all the "exclusion" or how much/many you have to purchase to get this certain discount. Are you a conciuos customer that always read this fine print that come along with anything you get or buy? Or you just take notice in the BIG PRINT and later on in the future you feel that like you being scammed?

i don't usually bother to check on the fine prints. due to haste and in an effort to finish it, i just sign where it is required. yeah, late in the future, u feel like u are being scammed, lol. from now on, i should be reading it beforehand and should not be in a hurry to finish the "deal".

I have to admit I don't always read the fine print. I am a slow reader and have always been a bit embarrassed about it. I have gotten into a few contracts in the past that really messed around with me over what was in the fine print and it cost me money not to read it. If my wife is with me then she reads the fine print.

Back when I was in college, I never bother to read these fine prints. Until one day someone told me that key..BIG PRINT is what you get...FINE PRINT is what they take from you. Since then I always try to be careful.

I read it and to make sure that the store clerks or the cashier never get mistakes on my receipt. If she do so..I would need to makes a revision on decision and for the person who commit mistakes to ask for apology, because my receipt is exaggerated written in a wrong manner..

No, I don't read the fine print most of the time. However, if I purchase big ticket items, I ask my husband to read the fine print. LOL
