Ever feel like a store fukked somehow (with pricing or something) and you got away with a ridiculous discount?
Let me explain. Today, I went to Banana Republic and saw they had a 50% off all regular priced items and 40% off sale items, so I was:yeshrug: and went it.

Browsing and found a navy trench (below) selling for $250 full price. I know this because I saw the price on the S size. I wear a M. Found one and it was marked as $125 as the regular price. So that means 50% off $125 (i.e. $62.50).

Told ol' girl to hold it while I get my $25 gift certificate which would take it down to $37.50.

So the girl rings it up and it came to $19 and change. I looked at her like:merchant:, grab my shyt and walked out with the :jawalrus:

Share your story on those times where you felt you got away with legal robbery.

I was at Walmart. There was a Little Mermaid fountain toy marked down to 6.88 on the clearance shelves. I took it to a price checking machine and it came up as $3. I brought it to the register knowing it would come up as $3. :blessed:

The things you do for your kids. But it's all computer mumbo-jumbo. You didn't switch tags, which is illegal.

Went to that evil ass big box electronic store to grab a podcast mic for a project I had to work on. Since I wasn't going to be reimbursed for the cost of the mic I decided to go with the snowball instead of the Yeti by Blue microphones.

Walk by a clearance end cap/shelf and at the bottom of it was a Yeti. :ohhh:


Looked at the price tag. $34.99. "Bookshelf Speaker" :shaq:


"Should I do this" :jbhmm:


"Will they know?" :patrice:


"They fukked up. fukk it.." :demonic:


Walked up to the register thinking surely she's going to figure it out. :sadbron:



She tried to ring it up by the clearance sticker and it wouldn't work. :dwillhuh:


So instead of trying to ring it up by the official barcode :sas1:


She typed the number on the clearance sticker directly. :sas2:


"Bookshelf Speaker" showed across the register and on the receipt. She didn't even look twice. Even asked me to put some insurance on it. :pachaha:


Peaced out of there quickly. Used the mic. Haven't used it again since. :manny:

I ordered some shirts from Amazon. They did not come the day they were supposed to. I called the day they were supposed to be delivered and filed a report. The next day they didn't arrive. I called back and asked for a refund. The next day I got my refund. A few days later the shirts came in the mail. I kept the money and shirts because fukk you I needed those shirts when they said they'd be coming. :banderas:

5 years ago I got a 46" LG LED for $199 when It should have been $499.
It was a price mistake at best buy, it was on slickdeals and we knew it had to be a mistake, but i ordered one for pickup and RAN to the store to grab it.
The chick at pickup even called the manager over for a second opinion before she'd let me leave wit it because she was a hater.
In the end I think they just decided it wasn't worth arguing with me over. Only 1 other person on the thread managed to get one before they fixed the price.

Also ordered my apple watch from best buy and never got it. Asked for a refund, after a week or two and ups investigation they paid me back. Another week later, my son finds it in the bush by my back door. It was around christmas, so it was prob not my regular driver doing dumb mess like that. It spent a good 3 weeks outside, but was perfectly fine with i opened it.
