[quote="octick"][quote="markerpk"]Well, TRU pulled a fast one on me today. Went to the B&M store to pick up series 6 figs for the BOGO. Tag on shelf says 3.49, but still worls out ok after discount I figure, so I spend 30 minutes feeling the bags to find the ones I needed, which was most of them. Check out and they ring up at 3.99! I tell the cashier, she gets the manager, no dice. 3.99 or put them back. Didn't feel like wasting all that time feeling bags so I sucked it up. All I did was pay normal MSRP for them but man, was I burned! That's the last time I fall for that one! Next time TRU has any sort of price discount, I'm confirming price at the register before I waste any time feeling bags. Matter of fact, think I'll only bite on the 2 for 5 or the Buy 2 get 1 free from now on![/quote]. I would call the corporate. Knowing TRU, it won't make any damn difference, but the fact the shelf said $3.49, the correct thing to do is honor it. Either way, TRU sucks and now you know like so many others. Other than the occasional BOGO 50% off sale when I can actual get something worthwhile below MSRP or TRU exclusives, I will never shop there again.[/quote]
'course at our local TRU, this is somewhat common practice (or we're just unlucky)... they don't appreciate it when I offer to go pull the tag off the shelf so no one else suffers from the same confusion. On one particular mis-mark several months back, stayed up until all the sets were finally gone - I presume by folks thinking they were getting a really good deal, then not paying attention up at the register. Almost makes it seem intentional.
