I was ripped off big time. I bought a huge mango around 650-700 grams from the fruit seller just outside Selver in Kakumae. I thought the weight scale read 1.60 when I glanced at it.I paid with apple pay without looking and didn’t ask for a receipt either. I bought strawberries from this place for reasonable prices before so I didn’t think I’d get ripped off.

I came home and saw the notification on my phone that I was charged 11.5 eur. 11.5 euro for 1 mango? How is that even possible? I don’t believe I’ve ever been ripped iff this bad. I could believe 3-4 euros for a mango but thus is absolutely ridiculous!

  2. It was probably a gluten free vegan mango but yeah u got ripped off

  4. those are pretty premium mangos they sell at those stalls (I’m serious, but 11.5 does seem like a lot)

  5. Estonia is expensive enough that you should never buy anything without checking out the price first.

  7. It’s not really mango season yet. They are imported and therefore cost more than you would like. For example, in No Bananas, a 500g = 8.99€. So for an even larger mango 11.50€ sounds kind of reasonable at the moment…

  8. Tropical fruits can be somewhat epxensive here. I once paid 8 or 10 euros for papaya. Worth it though, since it was ripe and ready to be eaten. But yeah that price per kg would have been too much for mango. Usually around 6 euros for 1.

  9. Don’t be shy and go back to the seller, maybe he won’t be an asshole about this situation and he’ll return your money. But if not, next time be extra careful and pay attention. I’ve been scammed like this many times, I know how it feels, it sucks ass. But most of the time I’ve realized that this could’ve been prevented if I’ve paid closer attention.

  12. I also got ripped off in Coop because of a mango! I suggest using the app to scan the food items yourself, because the lady working the cash register sometimes weighs or enters the mango’s price wrong. I accidentally paid like 12€ extra bc of the mango.

  13. I paid the same price for a large sized šaslõkk from Sõle Grill. I won!

  14. Estonia is expensive, but just because we locals are filthy rich.

  16. I once paid 18€ for a pineapple in Balti Jaam Market. I didn’t realize only until after the fact.

  17. These types of posts make me miss Lappeenranta, one of the cities in Finland where everything was noticeably cheaper than in Estonia.

  18. Tropical fruit at private stands are extremely expensive here.

  19. So you bought something without even checking the price before and after the purchase to see how much you paid? I mean yea, as it turned out the mango was overpriced, maybe the scale was malfunctioning but this one is on you,. You weren’t scammed you just bought something without looking at the price to see if it’s reasonable. I’ve had it happened many times, like I want to buy some ready to eat food from the Selver buffet and the clerk packages and weighs it and hands it over. Then I look and the price in unreasonably high, mention it and every time it has turned out to be a weighing error….always look at the price if you’re paying by the weight.

  20. Rare moment of ripe or near ripe mangos inside Selver at the moment with 4.40€/kg or something . Just bought some.

  21. Dang. Fruit stands are most of the time way more expensive than food stores. Maxima is the cheapest.

  23. Wow, such much during the winter mango season in Northern Europe?

  24. Rimi has mangos for 1.99€/kg when they’re on sale.

  26. Damn good looking Mango. If you still have it I make a bid of 12.5€

  28. For some reason fresh mangoes taste like pine to me. Canned is okay though.
