Perhaps we should consider that it may NOT have been the salespeople ... I have had a similar thing happen here in Big W (Sth Oz). Thought I was buying two items in a pack (actually bought 4 packs) only to get home and discover that "someone" had swapped the second item for newspaper packs. On returning to the Store I was told that similar issues had occurred in the past when shoppers had taken their purchases to the Loo prior to going through the checkouts, hence a little "slight of hand". Another was when I bought a set of 12 screwdrivers in a plastic moulded container, got home and found 10 new and two "previously loved" as replacements!
Could not the same thing happen on Bali?? I think so ...!
