Don't love a great deal...

[JamesB]

A post over on another board reminded me of this story and I thought I would share it here...

Don't ya love it when you come across a great deal at a grocery store? Like finding something miss marked in the meat case? You might feel a bit guilty, but you buy it anyway? This happened a long time ago and I did try to do the right thing, but... Here is the story.

About 10 ys ago, I came across a deal on choice graded, whole, bone in rib eye roasts at the local Winn-Dixie. They were supposed to be on sale for $2.99lb, but they were all marked $2.99 each. I saw the meat guy coming out of the back and asked him if this was the correct price, all he said was "Priced as marked" and kept walking. I tried again to tell him about the error... again, "Priced as marked" and kept walking.

Soooooooo, I Loaded up all 8 of those bad boys that were in the case... When I went to check out, the cashier called the mgr over and you should have seen the look on his face. , but per store policy, "Priced as marked"

I sure miss Winn-Dixie...

Got to love them mistakes.
We still have Winn-Dixie stores but they have gotten real bad. Even the new one smells and looks dirty all the time. You know something isn't right when you walk in the front door and can smell a nasty fishy smell from the seafood counter in the back of the store next to the meats.

Too bad there were only 8!!At least you tried to correct it! I'l bet that manager was running back to the meat dept. as soon as you left!

I cashed a check once at the drive up teller. The teller gave me $100 more than she should have. I rang the "call teller" button and said there was a mistake. She cut me off in mid sentence saying she had counted it twice before she sent it out in the tube. I said, well OK but I still think you gave me a $100 more than it should have been. Her attitude all of a sudden turned around 180 degrees. While I did the right thing, I was tempted to just agree with her and drive off...

It's amazing how nice folks can become. I had a bank loan that When I went in to pay it off the payoff was about $1500 less than it should have been and I told them so. They corrected me in no uncertain terms and I paid it off. They were much much nicer when they called months later after the auditors report.
