New Red Oak Walmart

[Willy]

The new Walmart opened today. They didn't sell guns, so I went to check out the ammo. The guy next to me noticed that 500 rd boxes of Federal Lightning .22lr ammo was marked at $1.97. (normally $19.70) I told the clerk that I wanted 2 boxes, the other guy took 2 boxes and a 3rd guy grabbed the last 2 boxes. The manager lady seemed ticked off about the screw up. I was disappointed that they didn't sell guns, but I'm glad I went for the 90% discount on .22 ammo.

Man, why can't I stumble into something like that!

I was hoping they would sell guns too. Oh well, at least I can get ammo locally now. :thumbup::thumbup:

After yesterday, the $1.97 price is still on the shelf. I'll have to stake it out for when they restock!

I can't believe you didn't buy 4 boxes.

I can't believe you didn't buy 4 boxes.

Any chance they had a 2 per caliber limit like some stores had during the 'shortage'?

If you knew it was wrongly labeled and bought it anyway, that constitutes theft!

You have no right to rip someone off, even if it is Wal-Mart.

Good night.

Sleep well.

Walmart could have refused sale.

How is it theft if they mark it at that price. It constitutes nothing but their(walmarts) mistake. Get off your high horse.


Theft.. really

 

[Russell B]

Exactly!!

 

[orbitup]

They still have the price up but they are out of stock.

 

[Younggun]

Bet they stay that way

I told them the shelf was mislabeled when I bought it. They could have refused to sell. They didn't, so I bought it.

How is that theft?

It's a sting operation! They probably wanna track the ammo to see if you take it to mexico. Don't worry, with their track record you probably lost'em before you left the store

My only problem with you actions is that you didn't offer to sell me one of your boxes for $5.

Why would you call someone a thief for taking advantage of large company's mistake? Large companies like Walmart make mistakes all of the time. Would you call them thieves for overpricing an item by mistake?

IMO, had the OP said nothing and just bought the ammo, yeah - morally, he'd be off-base. As it was, he advised them of the error, and THEY CHOSE TO SELL IT AT THE POSTED PRICE. THEY took the "high ground" by accepting their mistake and honoring the price.

I see no wrong-doing on either side here....

 

[stdreb27]

I won't go that far, because I assume competence, if the checker can't tell a box of ammo shouldn't be 2 bucks, then they're incompetent, and that is Wally world's fault...

Gotta disagree there....if YOU know the difference and they don't, then you are taking unfair advantage IMO, which borders on theft. Not everyone can know everything about what's stocked in a store, nor should they. Having said that, I've brought errors up to clerks before that could care less - at that point, I feel I've done my duty.

Good call. Id tell them too. If they didnt want to honor that price, I simply dont have to buy it. Case closed.
