I was at Kmart in York, Pennsylvania, yesterday, which typically has zero good deals on games. I looked in the glass case and they had an official PS1 LCD screen inside with a yellow sticker that looked like this:
$12.99
REDUCED
$78.00
I had been looking for a good deal on one of these, so I wanted it. I looked for someone to open the thing, and nobody was there. I eventually had to go to the main service desk to get someone. She comes over and unlocks the case and it rings up at $78. So I pointed out the $12.99 price. "It must be a mistake, the price is actually $78." After her refusing to sell it for 12 bucks, she calls a manager over with a stupid-ass nametag that says "Store Coach Jim." The conversation went like this:
Cashier: "He wants it for $12."
Jim: "What?"
Cashier: "It rings up at $78, but there's a mistake on the price tag."
Jim: "Ain't gonna happen." (At this point, the SOB starts to walk away)
Me: "The tag says $12.99"
Jim: "It must have been marked up from $12 to $78."
Me: "Well $12 is the lowest price on the tag, and you're obligated to sell it for the lowest listed price." (From working in retail and having to scrape price tags off of marked-up items for hours, I'm pretty sure this is PA state law)
Jim: "Absolutely not."
He then walked away and the cashier put it right back in the glass case. I'm really dumbfounded that they messed up either on the sticker or in the system and that they refuse to sell it for their price. Isn't it generally expected that stores sell for the listed price when they made a mistake?? I'm sending a complaint in to the Attorney General and we'll see where it goes from there.
