![]() Monday, September 06, 2004Supermarket swept
On my way to a Labor Day picnic today, I stopped at a Ralphs supermarket to buy three 12-packs of Coke and a tube of sunscreen. Because Coke 12-packs were on sale, I had the following conversation with the cashier in the express lane...
Cashier: Those are limit 2 with minimum $10.00 purchase at the sale price. Jim: What? Oh, that's fine, I'll just pay regular price. Cashier: People have been yelling at me all day about that. "It didn't say anything about a limit in the fine print." So I have to show them in the flyer. Then I get worried they're going to pull a switchblade or something. Then it's time for me to take out my blade. (Briefly pulls box cutter out of his pocket) It looks like you got the sale price because of this bad boy! (Holds up sunscreen, which was on sale for $8.99, but regularly priced at $10.99, which I guess is what counts to the computer) ![]() |
