A Belarusian woman could not buy about 500 grams of pork in a store. The saleswoman refused to cut the required amount from a piece weighing approximately 800-1000 grams. She explained that the remaining 300-400 grams would allegedly be difficult to sell later, writes "Minskaya Prauda".
Lawyers explain that in such a situation, the store cannot independently set such restrictions.
If a product is sold by weight, meaning the seller dispenses it over the counter after weighing, and the price tag indicates the price per kilogram, then the buyer has the right to purchase exactly the quantity they desire.
Lawyer Natalya Sinkevich noted that in such a case, the retail purchase and sale agreement is public.
If the store has the ability to sell the necessary product, the seller has no right to refuse to sell it to the buyer.
The consumer's right to free choice of goods is enshrined in Article 5 of the Belarusian Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights". Administrative responsibility is provided for violation of the requirements of this law.
The lawyer also emphasized that the seller's references to internal store documents cannot justify a refusal to sell. Such documents must not contradict current legislation.
A different situation arises when the product is already pre-packaged and its actual cost, taking into account the weight, is indicated on the packaging. In such a case, the seller has the right, but is no longer obliged, to open the package and cut the desired quantity for the buyer.
