(Not so) Crappy Tire
I stopped at Crappy Tire aka Canadian Tire today on my way home from work. I had decided I was going to buy a cheap cordless screwdriver because I need to remove all the hard drives from about 40 old computers next week, and I don't plan on doing all of that with a regular old screwdriver. I notice in the glass security case, that there is 4 racks of the same model of cordless screwdriver, with 3 different prices. I ask a salesperson what the difference is and I get this respone:
price 1: $19.99 - Regular price
price 2: $15.99 - Instore special
Price 3: $9.99 - Flyer special that ended on March 12th
and he says, This is your lucky day, someone forgot to remove the expired price tag, so we have to sell it to you for that price, Ill take it to the cashier and explain the situation.
So I walk up to the cashier, and she starts ringing in the sale, and then she calls a manager to ask them a question. She hads me a receipt, and the screwdriver and says "Have a nice day" I have not yet given the cashier any money. I say "I'm confused, what just happened here?"
The response is, if there needs to be a price correction done on any item, the buyer gets $10.00 off of the lowest price. So I walked out with a free screwdriver and a big smile on my face.
