I strolled through the aisles at WallyWorld late this afternoon. I found some of what I was looking for and, of course, lots of things that I wasn't looking for but which were tempting, if only for a glance or two.
But then there were these:
sitting right below SEASONAL MERCHANDISE SALE sign which said 90% OFF! NO EXCEPTIONS!
Math is not my long suit, but I can calculate 10% of anything and then multiply it by, in this case, 9. Suddenly, the I'll-never-spend-$5.98-on-these pinwheels became put-three-of-those-58.9cent-babies-in-the-cart brilliant purchases.
Smiling about the garden scholars' reaction to these huge decorations, I rang them up first.
They registered at $1.49.
Not trusting my math, I googled 90% off $5.98. Then I pressed Call for help and showed my screen to the helper. She said I paid $1.49 for them yesterday. That's the price. I begged to differ, showed her the screen again, and watched as she over-rode the system
and made plans to take her receipt in for a refund.
I'm going to let WallyWorld know about this. I wonder if there's a government agency I should contact, too. It would sure be nice to have a problem I can get my hands around. Just typing this has calmed my near-panic-stricken-from-politics nerves.
I'm on the case.
Good job! When I run into something that's priced unusually I take a photo of the tag so I have proof at the checkout.
