Thank goodness for price scanners
I can check prices, and as a former sales associate it makes my job easier to direct customers to scan their items to find out the price. Oh, and I would make the price correction if you had pointed it out to me and I was working. It was probably an error on the store's part.

I remember Honeycombs!!
These days, if I am ever in the USA, I LOVE standing in the cereal isle of the super market, in ANY super market in that vast beautiful country (or Canada, doesn't Canada sell a million kinds of breakfast cereal too? where are you from again?) and basking in all the DIFFERENT kinds of cereal, hundreds and hundreds of kinds of beakfast cereal......WOW, I would only buy Honeycombs if they were on sale too! Maybe not even then, I am more into the bran or wheaties type cereal, I used to love Life ...cereal... yes I lived in the US for eleven years of my life!

this happens all the time, and it's soooooo incredibly frustrating. Makes me wonder is someone just not doing their job correctly by marking both display and on the shelf? Or, is it something else. I just bought some hand soap (pump) at Meijers, where they had two slightly different bottles on the shelf (right next to eachother). Me being in a hurry, didn't read the entire "small print" on the shelf sign, ended up taking the higher priced one by mistake, and didn't notice until I got home!!!! Why the heck do they do that!! UGH, for suckers like me in a hurry, picked up the one to the right instead of to the left. I think they do this on purpose to make more money!!!!

LOL...Sale means just that, half priced! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of, but it still happens all the time!

Whacky, I think most stores are guilty of throwing that word "sale" around
to the point it's become meaningless...I still love a TRUE, sale where you know what the item usually costs and what the sale price is (and if it's not lower, I don't see it as a sale)..

Wacky
This is one of my pet peeves - bad "sale" signage. In the grocery store I shop in they place red, hand-made looking tags beneath items that are on sale. From time to time, however, they place one of those signs by the pop, for example. It says "2 for $10". Because it's red tagged you think WOW that must be a deal but when the remove the tag a few days later the regular price is $4.97 each. Wassup with that?

Whacky...
I would only buy an ab coaster if it was on sale...for free! Everything in a store is "for sale" but only a few things are "on sale" clever bit of semantics there! Hi Bo!
