Fuck you, Best Buy

[sigma7]

Spindle of 100 DVD+Rs on a shelf for $22. Not an impossible, but a good deal. At checkout: "That'll be $62." Uh, no.

Went back to shelf, checked price code. Yep, that's the right spindle. Asked wandering blueshirt WTF. "Oh, that's left over from March." Blueshirt takes price down, advises that there are other deals on other spindles, if I just check the circular. Well, look what's on a nearby shelf: a circular with two 50-DVD spindles on sale for reasonable sums. Prices are not marked on shelf. Of course, I could pick one up, carry it the length of the store to the register and just hope that the circular price carries over.

Or I could just say "Fuck it" and go to Staples tomorrow, which is eminently more reasonable.

People. It's not that hard.

I guess that's what I get for going to Best Buy.

I just spent far too long trying to find the actual law - and coming up empty handed - but I know when I was working at that place I shall not name in the 'Ville we had someone from one of the State gov. department things pop in a few times to make sure that all the clearly labeled price and shelf tags matched what the items scanned at, and we were fined when a certain percentage didn't. Long story short, if an item is clearly labeled at a certain price and there isn't any visible fine print saying "offer only good on the fifth Tuesday of every Feb. in a leap year" or something like that, the store has to honor the price or risk being fined by some state run department. Wish I could remember who, sorry.

Not to mention the BBB...
