When Saturday is not Saturday...

On Saturday morning, March 24, 2007, at about 12:30 a.m., my friend and I (after having had coffee at Tim Horton's) went to a Pharmaprix (or Shopper's Drug Mart, for the rest of Canada), because they had some Saturday specials that were worth buying. However, when we got to the cash, we realized that the items did not scan through at the correct price. And for the toothpaste, there were four different prices... The flyer advertised it for $0.39, at three different prices at the store, the prices were $0.49, $0.79 and $1.09 respectively. How is the customer supposed to know what the correct price is? Is this store developing a sliding scale approach to pricing? (If your annual household income is between $0 - $25 000, then you pay $0.39, if your annual household income is between $25 001 - $50 000, then you pay $0.49, if your annual household income is between $50 001 - $75 000, then you pay $0.79 and if your annual household income is $75 001 and more, then you pay $1.09)

The cashier actually tried to give us a crap reason about how she cannot do a price change, because it's the office in Toronto that is in charge of changing the prices for the Saturday specials... And that we would have to wait until the price change for the items to go through at the special prices... She then went on to say that the clients here all know that the specials go on sale at 1:00 a.m. or 1:30 a.m., which made me feel like a criminal for attempting to buy something on special... She also called the manager (floor manager) in charge, but he didn't even bother showing up to answer our questions and attempt to give coherent answers. My friend and I were so upset and fed up, we just stormed out of the store without buying anything, and we left the cart at the store.

What type of stupid reasoning is this? I don't think I could think of something that's anymore stupid... Oh wait, I just found something... But if I write something about it, that would mean that I would go back on my word about a month and a half (to two months) ago about a certain organization, and how I would no longer comment on a certain issue.

At least blogger's date reasoning is correct... This comment is being posted on Saturday, and it is Saturday...
