Was I wrong.

td66snrf · December 2018

So today I braved Costco to get king crab legs, which are a tradition for New Years Eve dinner at my home. I waited patiently at the kiosk for my turn and chatting with the gentleman ahead of me who bought 8 legs for a total of $125. I wanted 6lbs @ $23 bucks a lb. I knew what I was getting into. When I got to the register the legs were rung up for $49 as whole cooked dungeness crabs @ $8.99 lbs. Was I wrong for not saying anything?

If you have to ask...

johnnyp · December 2018

Absolutely not.

You purchased a product, as labeled, and didn’t scheme, manipulate or swindle.

Deek1997 · December 2018

You didn’t put that label on.

Not saying you’re right or wrong, but personally, I would’ve said something, yeah.

I was at Costco a few months ago and they rang up a case of 4 foot LED bulbs (16 pks of 2) (for my shop) as one pack. So I was charged 1/16th the price.

I noticed this a minute later when I was looking at the tally and told them they rung it up wrong. They were super happy and told me most people wouldn't be that honest. Heaped on praise.

I probably wouldn't have been as forthcoming if it was a corporation that actively tries ripping off its employees, like Wal-Mart.

If they would have rang up for more than advertised would you have said something, or just paid the higher price and walked out with your crab legs?

Cheesy to post, but what goes around comes around. That's the way we have lived our lives

I got a free Hasty Bake grill, but I told them about it.

nolaegghead · December 2018

I would have saved $250, not like it didn't cross my mind not to say anything...but I like Costco.

Durangler · December 2018

Yes, I would have said there was a mistake labeling.
Chances are they would let it go and would have a clean mind and not have to ask a forum if I was in the wrong.
Just saying..

I agree. If someone drops a $100 bill on the ground, you tell the person. Doing the right thing applies all the time from a person, Costco or Wal-Mart.

I saw a box of nice mechanic gloves blow out of a speeding fastenal truck onto the road, so I scooped them up and brought them into the store. Fastenal guy
“Wow thanks for doing that”
me (deadpan)
“no problem I would have kept them but they are mediums”

alaskanassasin · December 2018

Seriously I can’t do it if it rings up wrong and I catch it i always say something it makes me feel good to be honest what can I say. Same thing if they miss it with scanner etc.

GoooDawgs · December 2018

Well hey, the good news is you now know what your integrity is worth.

If you questioned it ...

I was with mom yesterday and she found 5 $1 bills on the floor at heb, she asked everyone she ran into if it was theirs.

I usually say something...both ways. I keep wondering if the poor minimum wage employee is going to have it deducted from his wages or lose his job entirely. On the other hand , I will tell them to go check the price on the shelf in a heartbeat id I'm being overcharged.

smokingal · December 2018

You could always go back and offer to pay the difference.

@td66snrf
You have been bad and you must pay the price. You must travel to the land they call Dungeness (Kent, England) and remain there.

they did put a nuclear power station there for a reason.....

(Ok, because of the sea water cooling the reactor, but go with it...)

Like someone said on the Christmas tree thread, if the hot dog prices go up we are all coming after you.

But what’s done is done. PM me your address. I’ll bring the champagne.

CTMike · December 2018

If you have to ask the question, I think you already know the answer.
