Had a little incident at the SCO today. Found (3) of the Sharkbite Regulators and I wait for the SCO attendant to help someone and I swoop in to check out. I get to the third one and this old bag comes over and takes them away from me and says she cannot sell something for a penny. I tell her, they were on the shelf and rang up a penny and that's what I'll pay. She then says she can sell them to me at the last sale price. She fumbles around on a computer for a bit and tells me that are like $16.** a piece. Told her I don't think so and asked for a manager.
The floor MOD comes over and says, sorry we can't sell them to you for a penny. It's store policy. haha. I really didn't give a **** and would likely have just left them there but I figured I'd press a little bit more. I told him they are ringing up as penny and that's what I'll pay. If they are not supposed to be a penny, perhaps they should have taken them off the shelf. So, after a bunch of "No's", I tell him to go ahead and put them aside for me and requested his name and I'd have corporate give him a call. (No, I was not going to call corporate)
He then calls the store manager and after about 15 seconds of discussion, he hangs up and tells the SCO clerk to let me go with the items at a penny each. He then tells me that the store manager informed him that "as of last Monday, there is a new store policy that if something rings up a penny, you simply let the customer have it at the penny price.". LOL
