Went to Wally world today to get an end table. Price on the sticker says $39.76. I get to the checkout, price rings up as $44.99. OK.....time to go see customer service. All said and done, the $39.76 price was the right one, but while we were in line, 4 OTHER PEOPLE have the same problem with different products!!! Anyone else run into this problem or is Marysville, WA Wal-mart the only one doing this?

r u serius?
I only buy groceries from Wal-Mart when I'm at college. On a $100 lot at Publix or Food Lion etc... I get for $75 at Wal-Mart. They continuously beat the surrounding grocer's prices with "Save on Their Sale Price!" and a lot of the grocer's are going out of business because of them beating their prices to a pulp. For instance, a pack of oreo's at Publix is $4, however at WM it is $2.50! Sounds like nothing, but for the avid oreo-eater its priceless. 🙂
I agree with the above poster about some prices being cheap while others are "normal". I watched a documentary on how they try to set you up with a good bargain on the end or in the middle of the aisle. For instance, a $25 dollar microwave will be sitting in the aisle and you think, "hey thats a great buy! I bet the rest of the microwaves are cheap too, so I can get a great microwave for cheaper". It happens a lot, and they make money like that.

That's not a rant, that's a paragraph.

I don't shop at Wal-Mart very often, but this has never happened to me. This has happened a couple of times to me at Target, and everytime I've told the chashier, and they say "ok" and change the price to whatever I say it was marked. No waiting for a price check, no going to the CS counter for an adjustment. I can understand why stores would avoid doing it this way, people would try to rip them off all the time. As I like target and want them to stick around, I have no interest in ripping them off.
We have it better here in Michigan. If a store overcharges, you get refunded the difference plus 10x the difference. Minimum $1, maximum $5. Consumer Protection laws FTW.
(Interesting to note, though, that last time I looked, the signs at Walmart said that they would give 3x the difference.)

There was a study that suggested the vast majority of Walmart shoppers can barely read or write so why not overcharge them? Not like most of em will catch it.
