I have a small farm so I have a long list of feed I need to buy on a weekly basis. I have been to every feed store in the area. Today I saw this feed store and decided to go check it out and see what they have to offer in comparison to the other feed stores I go to. As I'm looking around...I'm thinking, wow great prices! I comment to the girl there that they have good prices and she tells me they try to keep the prices lower than the other feed stores.
I didn't need anything particular today but the prices were good and I thought I may as well grab a few things while I was there. One of the bags I was buying was a bag or "wet cob" priced at $23.99 for a 50 pound bag. I get to the register and the girl rings up the wet cob...$32.99! I ask her if the price was correct, she assures me it is. I thought maybe I had looked at the wrong price. I tell her it's too much for that and I switch to something else, she rings up my other items. As we're leaving, my friend and I go back to where the wet cob was and recheck the price....it in fact DID say $23.99. Soooo....why was she trying to charge me $10 more? She made a comment that she hadn't gotten around to changing the price tags. How long does it take to change a price tag because when we arrived no one was there. I don't know about you, but when I shop...the price of an item determines whether or not I buy the item. If the price says $5 but it's really $10? Chances are, I'm not buying it for $10 and the reason I bought it was because I though it was $5. With that being said, after I got home and checked my receipt.....Out of the 4 items on my ticket...only ONE had the price that I saw on the shelf. The other THREE items were rang up with different prices!
I'm sorry young lady, but that is what you call Bait and Switch. This is my first and last visit to your feed store, I thought I had found a good one but that is not good business practice. Fix your shelf tags! read more
