Comments on: The Sneakiest Grocery Store Trick Yet? http://www.paylessforfood.com/supermarket-pricing-tricks/the-sneakiest-grocery-store-trick-yet/ Learn How to Dramatically Slash Your Grocery Bill Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:23:56 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Savy shopper http://www.paylessforfood.com/supermarket-pricing-tricks/the-sneakiest-grocery-store-trick-yet/#comment-10812 Savy shopper Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:57:43 +0000 http://www.paylessforfood.com/?p=935#comment-10812 How difficult would it be for a cashier to "familiarize" themselves with what was on sale each week? I would think that would be part of the job. Remember the good ole days when the cashier announced the price of the item as they were ringing it up. Gone are those days....the ones where cashiers could actually count change without a computer doing all the work for them. Now your groceries are scanned while you are busy unloading your cart. Then if there is a mistake, you have to go wait in line at the service counter to get a refund. There is no work ethic anymore...no one cares about their jobs.

I don't blame you for holding up the line. If a product is on sale we shouldn't let the grocery store off the hook for not properly programming their scanners to reflect the sale price. This happens more often than you would think. The more consumers complain and make a fuss, the more supermarkets will listen and get their act together. Lynda,

It makes me so mad when I get up to the check out and the price is wrong. But I stick to my guns, because a lot of the times the only reason I bought the product was because it was on sale. I will be that person that holds the line up until they do a price check, and most of the time I am right. I totally agree with this.

And the thing with the 3.99 tags, they could have missed that one and it didnt make it through the system, or there was an overstock of the ones on sale. it gets really anoying when customers like you come up to the register and question us (the cashiers) about a sale, we dont know the sales its not like we study whats on sale each week.

I agree with you in the lesson which u cited in your blog. That is so true. A lot of psychology is being applied against us consumers to suck the money in our wallet. I love your post. It's enlightening. Hi! I agree with you in the lesson which u cited in your blog. That is so true. A lot of psychology is being applied against us consumers to suck the money in our wallet.
