So, our wal-mart has a bulk clearance aisle - it's divided into $1, $3, $5, $10, etc sections. Some items are priced, others aren't.
Say you find several of an item - in this case around 30 - in the $1 section. They are hung up, not thrown on a shelf, and given the number of them that are there it's probably not a situation where someone picked it up somewhere else then sat it down in the wrong place.
You know this wal-mart has a LOT of issues with correctly pricing things so you always scan clearance items to make sure they ring up at the clearance price - when you scan this particular item it scans at $11, not $1. You bring this to an employees attention, and they just shrug and walk off. How hard do you argue trying to get the item for $1? I didn't argue, but I did tell the employee that someone needed to move the items since they were not $1. For the record, $1 was a REALLY good price for this item, they are normally around $20. $11 is good, too, but not as good as $1.
I have a friend that would have shouted to the ends of the earth to get the sale price. I didn't figure it was worth the trouble. What would you have done?
