My business at the store was to purchase a bathroom scale. At the end of one of the aisles was a display with two models of starfrit bathroom scales labeled "glass weigh scale". The advertised price for these two items was $23.99. There was one tag advertising the sale price and no original sale tags listed elsewhere in front of, behind, below, or above the display. The description of the advertising tag only stipulated "glass weigh scale", and the description of each of the two models of scales read "glass weigh scale". The only identifying print that would distinguish the two scales from one another was the image on each of the respective boxes and the weight limit listed for each scale. The advertising tag did not stipulate which model was on for the sale price. Both models were positioned on the same rack, both behind the signifying sale tag. When I brought my item to the cashier, she had to do a price check as the sale price at the till read differently than the sale price that item was being advertised for. The employee doing the price check (Jim or Jeff from hardware-- keep away from this guy-- he's extremely unhelpful and confrontational) replied to my cashier that he didn't see anything for the advertised price that the scales were listed for. He didn't bother to leave his department by two aisles to check for the actual item in question. After he told her the incorrect price and argued with her over her ear piece, I walked back to the display to grab the tag. The employee doing the price check ran over to me and started shouting at me that I picked the wrong scale if I wanted the sale price. So I grabbed the tag, thanked him for his help, and brought my item and tag to the cashier. At this point, a new cashier called me to her till, I gave her the sale tag and the scale to scan through. She scanned the item with the same incorrect price popping up, and began arguing that I read the tag incorrectly. Finally a manager was brought in to assist, at which point Jim or Jeff had made his way over to interrupt the manager and my conversation to tell me why I was incorrect to expect to pay the advertised listing price for the item in question. I asked him if he was going to continue to interrupt his manager and I, to which he replied, "well I just did, didn't I?"
Super unhelpful staff and passive aggressive manager. They did not correct the listing price and are still falsely advertising said item. Confrontational, and unhappy staff. There was a new girl being trained at the time of the situation and she handled herself so well and apologized for her trainers behaviour.
Very poor experience. I'd take my business elsewhere, next time and I would encourage others to do the same. read more
