  6. I worked at Lowe's and people would always try to pull this crap. In the garden center there were 2 racks of plants for sale. There was one in the front with a price display. The numbers were shown from the front, but the you have to flip them backwards to make any adjustments in the price, so those flipped numbers would be visible in the back of the price display, which is where the other rack of plants were. Those plants did have a clearly displayed price of their own, but some customer said that the flipped numbers from the other display is the the price she would pay. "No ma'am" we said.

    Another incident. Someone trying to buy a set of expensive padlocks but claimed they should be cheaper because where they found them on the shelf had a lower price. Because obviously they were in the wrong place as people would pick things up and set them down anywhere. While I was working in the department they came back from the cashier to explain to me that they felt they should pay the lower price. What I did was set them down in a spot with an even higher price and asked, "should you now have to pay this price since they are on this price tag?" They didn't like that.

  8. I mean, unless there’s a secondary price tag on the grill which I would hope so in some cases that price could be honored gonna sound crazy here but I actually bought a baby shark backpack for $.29 (w/tax actual price $.25) with all the accessories and everything when I was in North Carolina the price tag was on the item and the dude honored the price tag that was on the item and sold it to me for that

  10. In German contract law the displayed price is only an invitation to buy the product “invitatio ad offerendum”. Taking it to the tiller is the customers offer to purchase the product. The cashier then scans the product, accepting the customers offer. Then they name the price and accept payment concluding the contract.

    They don’t have to sell it to you at whatever price might be erroneously sticking to it.

  13. I bought a Swiss computer backpack for $3 at Walmart. It wasn't advertised at that price, it rang up at the register for that price!! A fully intact, fully functional Swiss brand for $3 is obviously a mistake, but I 🤐

  17. I don't know how is the law in the US, but I know in Brazil the law specifically says they are covering arrangements done "in good faith" by both parties. Which means that if you are a (pseudo-)consumer who sees the opportunity to ruse a seller out of a product that clearly was subject of some sort of error (like this case), the law won't cover you

  19. She did say : the employee remarked that another employee saw it and did nothing about it and it’s been 2 days! If they can’t replace the sign then take sign down and you won’t be in trouble

  21. I was at the pharmacy yesterday and someone had put a small bottle of cough syrup in the large bottle spot. So you trying to tell me you're going to pay the large size price for the small bottle? How about we start using some common sense with these things.

  27. Make sure you contact corporate if they don’t give it to you!
    This happened to me a few years back with a vacuum cleaner labeled about 150 off, the lead called the manager and she refused to sell it and infront of me she removed the price.
    Then when she saw I was recording, she told me it was private property and I can’t record inside so I stopped respectfully.
    Sent the video to corp and I got a call back saying they apologize and I can go pick the item up at that price, or get a refund if I payed full price.
    The manager apologized to me personally and sold it to me at the price they had originally put wrong.

  33. I have a retail business in canada, it’s seasonal and the products are listed with a USD and a CAD price. The sheer volume of people who try to claim they misinterpreted the price (even though it clearly says USD) and should therefore be allowed to pay the US price in Canadian dollars is sickening. For a time we used to put stickers over the US price to avoid confusion but they’ll just peel the stickers off. I have also had customers take price takes from clearly different stores and glue them to the product. They always escalate to threats of litigation or involving the media or a government agency, and it’s borderline absurd how far people will go to save a buck.

  34. Unless it is the store's policy that if they have the wrong price displayed they will honor the price. Walmart has done this for me. Never on a high ticket item, though. They honored the water bottles displayed price but not the trampoline.

  35. I work at a store, people put stuff in the wrong spot all the time. And even if it is technically the stores "fault" because something is just wrong with the price sticker, sometimes things get messed up or torn or broken. I get at least asking to see if you can get it for that price, but if i tell you im literally not allowed to, don't keep pushing and get huffy. Like getting it cheaper would be nice, but am i supposed to risk disciplinary action or maybe even get fired so you can save a few bucks? You wouldn't like it if someone did that at your job, so just take the L and stop being selfish..😒

  37. Thats why when ever I buy an item on sale I take a clear photo of the sign AND the item.
    When I get to the cashier n it doesn't ring up the sale I show the photo to the cashier
    Works every time, especially that the cashier can just check the photo n doesn't hold up the line or have to go check a price

  38. As a cashier, this comes up a lot. Whether a person alters the sign or it accidentally is bumped or when people put things vack in the wrong place… arguments over price can be stressful on me as tge cashier.
    I pull out the printed sale list and call a manager if it gets worse.
    Customers everywhere: cashier's have ZERO control over the price items ring up as.
    If you have a question on a price, don't wait until you are checking out with a cashier.

  39. Never say you knew. I got a bookshelf once for 50% off from Target because they had a sticker for the same bookshelf in another color 50% off. I played dumb and then asked “well, this was the only color left. Can I still have 50% off?” And they gave it to me.

  42. Yo same exact thing happened to me at Home Depot!! I got a $500 nexgrill for $149, cuz the person who put it there put the wrong price tag cuz all the other ones were priced correctly. I called an attendant and told him I want this one. He stumbled, didn’t know what to do, then came back after talking to a manager and told me… “if you want it for that price, you would have to buy the floor model.” Say less, dragged it to the register, took it apart in the parking lot and put that grill in my 4Runner!!
