Update 5/4/18: Raised from 1 star to 4
After speaking with one of the Managers (Julie), they made good on the offered price and thoroughly trained the young cashier how to handle these things in the future, I also contacted Sisikyou Co. Dept. of Weights and Measures and let them know that they had made good on things and honored the offered price and to ignore my initial complaint.
5/3/18:
Completely UNLAWFUL. Went in to buy 4 of the same item CLEARLY marked as $4.69 each. The price came to $6.99 each and the guy behind the counter says it's "tax". I get my receipt and sure enough, they charged me $6.49 + $0.50 in tax (I had decided to just buy 1 as I was leery on exactly what I was being charged for). He was completely indifferent and refused to honor the advertised price. CA law pegs this as grounds for imprisonment up to a year + up to a $1,000 fine.
What you did just wasn't neighborly AT ALL. Heck, I would have met you half-way on the price or something as I can understand a simple mistake and don't want to take advantage of anything, but you just don't do this to your fellow Dunsmuir residents who are your "bread & butter" customers. I walked to your store because I knew of the price and called ahead since I had been there on 3 past occasions to buy it only to be told it was sold out.
Believe me when I say I'm a believer in the "Great State of Jefferson" and don't like oppressive government anymore than you do, but obviously, you guys are not the type of business that should stay in business. Siskiyou County Dept. of weights and measures should be dealing with you con-artists. You guys are a joke and I'll never come back or do business with you again. Hope it was worth losing a customer and getting a crummy review both on Yelp and on Google.
Completely unneighborly and illegal. read more
