I was at a US grocery chain today and came across some…misleading price tags. I took a couple pictures intending to post them to Lemmy before going to bed, but I don’t know which community would be appropriate for such a thing. The closest I could think of is A Boring Dystopia, but it doesn’t seem quite right there.
🤔 was it a tag that displayed a cheap price, but it rang up more expensive?
Having worked for Walmart this sometimes happens, and the managers would usually honor the shelf tag.
In the instances of a tag supposedly being cheaper by $30+ i would tell the customer “i will call over a manager, but you’ll need to pretend to be angry or they might say no.” Which, from my experience, is usually what happened. Nice customers would get told the store can’t honor it while someone throwing a temper tantrum would save money. Ridiculous.
