OK, I got my 17 yr old up and we went to WalMart at 4:30 this morning. I saw my MIL's best friend in the parking lot line(we currently have a regular WalMart, not a 24/7 walMart). After the doors were opened, we went in. I got what I wanted and was back snug in my bed at 5:30.
Ok, back to my MIL's best friend. She got one of the TVs for her parents and a toy of some sort for her grandson. When she went to check out, the TV rang up correctly, but the toy rang up at the higher "everyday" price. She asked for the manager and he came over. He told her that they only received 30 of those particular toys that could be sold at the "special" price and after they were gone, the rest were regular price. SHE BOUGHT IT ANYWAY!!!
I say that if the toy is on the shelf during the special price hours, it MUST be sold for the advertised price. IF they didnt want to sell more than 30 of them at that price, they should have removed the item from the shelves.
Has anyone heard of this? It seems like bad business to me.
OH, and BTW, supposedly this WalMart didnt get ANY laptops. I wasnt looking for one so it didnt bother me, BUT I know some people were VERY tore up about it.
