I haven't been to H-Mart before, but are the prices really lower than other supermarkets? ASG111, I'm guessing you saw something on sale for X% and then you went there, and found that it's still higher price than other supermarkets. Comsumers will usually seek the best price around, and thus if H-Mart is charging more than others, it'll lose customers and will be forced to change their strategy pretty quickly. I'm sure you won't be going back, as well as other disgrunted customers. This strategy is building a bad reputation for them if their prices are actually high. They'll noticed their sales and profits are down before they hear anything from the BBB.
