You go to Walmart with $100 and potatoes are marked .25¢ /LB

[Vegitto]

I'd take pics galore, then argue with the manager, and if I didn't get my potatoes for that price, I'd sue. There's a lot of money you can make from thousand of tons of potatoes.

How much do you think it would cost you to get a lawyer? And, if you were able to find a lawyer, just how good do you think he/she would be if willing to take such an idiotic case?

i'd ask the manager if he ever worked for verizon.

I agree with Keelysam, but let's not forget to figure in the OP's tax!

I would only be able to purchase 38000 lbs of potatoes since MD has 5% tax.. and my total would only come up to $99.75! 🙂

Are you saying that you live in or know of a state that taxes uncooked food?

Louisiana taxes everything

If I saw that, I would recommend to the store manager to either:

A. remove the decimal point
b. change the cent sign to a dollar sign in front of the decimal point

😛

The bigger question is really...what are going to do with all the POTATOES?!

 

[mugs]

I would point out the mistake to the manager, because I'm not a jerk.

The many problems of Jerboy

Seems like it was only only yesterday.

Yeah, and that had actual entertaiment value!

Whenever I rant about something, it's because I'm arguing against an evil, soulless empire and I'm right and they're wrong.

Examples

State Farm v PAB
PAB v The State of Florida
GEICO v PAB
Progressive Insurance v PAB
Walmart v PAB
PAB v Rathmann Chevrolet

No, generally when you rant about something it's because you're a douche.

We're all waiting for PAB to turn twelve, so his hormones will finally start to bounce about , his balls will finally descend and he can finally hold his head up in the shower room after gym class.

Once he discovers masturbation, I guarantee he'll stop harassing random clerks in Walmart over posted potato prices.

Haven't you ever seen the great escape?

Me and dad at checkout

"Boy, building that still was the best father son project yet!"
"SHUT UP BOY"

The cashier didn't get it.

Or a bitch. I used to work at McD. Lady came through, ordered a large coffee, paid with a benjamin...I accidentally dropped about $0.20 when handing her the change, apologized, and then she proceeded to fuss at me for dropping some of her money. And she was driving a Jag convertible.

4 pounds for a penny. Then, point out the sign that says if it scans at the wrong price, I get $3 off my purchase or, if the purchase is under $3, it's free.

Just to make the point.

Hasn't PAB been banned yet?? I read there was a petition to ban him. I'll go look for it and sign my name.

Having listened to a 30 minute phone call in which a guy tried to explain the difference between fractions of a cent and fractions of a dollar to two layers of Verizon customer service reps... and assuming that the average Wal-mart employee is probably not highly intelligent... I think you'd have fun. 🙂

FYI: EVERYTHING in the produce department was marked in the .xx¢ form, I tried buying something and it rang up in fractions of $ rather than ¢, I protested about the sign saying that said produce was priced in fractions of cents rather than fractions of dollars and the manager didn't agree with me.

Nerds, what do you think?

If I were the unlucky person behind you in line waiting for your dumb a$$, I would punch you in the throat.

You guys love PAB's posts so much, that you have to go digging back into the almost archives and bump one of them? 😕 :roll:

I actually tried to invoke that rule once. I bought some aluminum pie tins. The price on the shelf said $.97, they rang up for 80-something cents each. My eyes grew big as I said hold on a second, those rang up for the wrong price! "How much were they supposed to be?" "97 cents." "well, then you're getting them for less." "Yeah, but your sign right here says that if they ring up for the wrong price, I get $3 off my total purchase." "But, that's if they ring up for more than what they're supposed to cost." "Do you speak English? What part of the definition of 'wrong' don't you understand." Manager called over, was equally confused, couldn't figure out why I was unhappy "I'm not unhappy about the price. I'm just calling your attention to your policy." Then some people got in line behind me, and I decided to say heck with it, rather than hold up the people behind me.

You don't get out much, do you?

I get out!
Have no idea what the hell you are talking about though.
Anyway, in Minnesota we didnt tax the staples found in grocery stores.
Am in Oregon now and they dont tax ANYTHING. Doesnt mean much when going out for a cup of coffee. But when you buy a car or big TV, it can save you a bunch.

See, I never really understood the whole "ball" thing.
I remember I could feel and play with both my balls (at equal level) when I was like 6 or 7. When we learned about sex and stuff in school at age 8 I thought that it was already supposed to have happened and all the other guys were just like me.
Are you saying that most of them didnt have dropped balls until age 12?
And if so, what the heck did they play with before then?
