Thanks to Goaliebot's 'Traildude' inspiration, I set off to my local (workplace) Walmart for a Trailbreaker quest on Friday.
They only had Gen. Shockwave on the rollback price.
Switched direction towards home for the other Walmart. They had NONE!
Walked next door to the TRU; I knew they had some sale but prolly not Generations and it wouldn't be close to 9.92 deal.
SO what do I see there? Trailbreaker for 11.87!
And it wasn't a mistake cause there were 2 pegs labelled "Generations TF Deluxe $11.87"
It aint 9.92, but never look a gift horse in the saddle.
So I go scan Trail-dude and he scans at $16.99. At this point will I get a price scan policy luck? I didn't want to count on it.
Then I see an aisle-end display with the gen's clearly marked $16.99. So I go find an employee to explain everything, and he agrees that while an error, the pegs I found clearly match. So he removes 1 'wrong' peg-sticker, and gives me the other to take to the counter.
At the counter, the girl scans the sticker and it brings $16.99. She then manually enters the number code and same thing. Then she calls the manager on how to enter the price as 11.87, and the manager tells her to press some other buttons and the last I hear, she says "1.87".
Yups!
They error-honored, then scan mismatched me!
So I got Trailbreaker for $1.87!!!!
She then asks me if I'd like to donate to the Starlight foundation.
Now despite the cartoon-link to Jem, I'm normally too cheap
.
But seeing how they just discounted me $15.12 off a $16.99 toy, I had to say yes!
