Not trying to troll, but it sounds like you did get scammed according to your take on the situation. You said the prices were too high, and you weren't about to get scammed, yet you paid anyway?

My point is that it seems even though the prices were high in your opinion, they were also just right. You weren't happy, but paid anyway. I guess as far as a business is concerned, that's right where they want their prices to be for maximum profit.

That's also why I try to avoid the mall, and places like that. The prices are marked up to reflect the cost of overhead due to location.
