The store didnt look into it well enough because there is technically nothing to honour. We couldnt get away with it here in quebec. This was just an item placed over a wrong price tag. It really surprised me that the manger didnt look into that and check that the price tag was for the right product.
OK here's the science of how this worked... a retailer has to honor displayed price. But there are certain times when they can honor or deny.
If i had grabbed one and asked the nearest person the price, they could then say "oops no not $6.99"... But i took it to the register and waited until she read the total to bring up the price. Once it hits that scanner, the manager is backed into a corner, i gave him no other option. He knew he was giving me a crazy discount and he wasn't happy lol
To be honest, i do this all the time because people just don't care about their jobs in retail. I've bought most of my current TFs this way (not this big of a discount tho :lol), a lazy employee will fill a scout class peg with $20 titans returns figures. put over stock fort maxes above a voyager class sticker... employees just aren't paying attention.
But even then, it's not supposed to be. Because anyone can go and swap things around to get "discounts".
If the price that is wrong was IDENTIFIED as the RIGHT product, EG
"MP-Bee:6.99$" but it scan at the right 100$, THEN the store would have to honor the 6.99$ price. And if you were in Quebec, by law the thing would have been the lowest price minus 10$. Meaning a FREE Bee.
But here, it was a case of misplacement. Something that happen everywhere, all the time, because customers themselves just dont give a fok.
So, when you made your claim, the manager should have just given you a mean look, telling you "Nice try, kid."
But he didnt for some weird reason.
