Question
We bought apples at a store, and the seller didn't know what type they were. We told him what type, and a few days later we discovered a sticker on the apple indicating it's a more expensive type. Now we have no way of knowing how much it weighed and what the payment difference is. Are we obligated to pay the store, or is it the seller's responsibility if he didn't know? I would appreciate an answer, and if we need to pay, how to determine how much to pay.
Answer
Hello,
You should inform the seller about what happened.
If he waives the difference, great.
If there is uncertainty about the cost, you should pay the lowest amount, as you are not obligated to pay in cases of doubt.
