How about this story, I bought groceries at Wal-Mart up until about 2 years ago. Not everything just probably 2/3. They had this turkey breast that came in a chunk that I sliced myself it was really good quality and was advertised at 4.49lb
The original sticker from the manufacturer was on the package and it was suppose to be sold at 5.49lb Wal-Mart would then place their sticker and say it was 4.49 and sell it at what looked like $1 off per pound. One day I happened to look at the cash register receipt. I noticed that I paid nearly the same price as what the manufacturer said. Not much less
Grabbed the calculator. The manufacturer said that the weight was 1.41lbs @5.49 = $7.74 The Wal-Mart sticker didn't have the weight but it printed the weight on the register receipt 1.57lbs @4.49 this was equal to 4.99 a pound because I took it back to Wal-Mart a few days later and they weighed it on their scales and it weighed 1.41. They manager didn't even argue with me he gave me a refund for the difference on the 2 that I bought. Only a couple bucks but it was about how they screwed me. I showed how I was being charged 4.99 and that they jacked the weight up of the product to deceive people. A couple weeks later I went in to the store and nothing had changed, I bought one and before I left the store checked the receipt had it weighed and got another refund. They are screwing millions of people every single day. I sent a letter to the Attorney General of Indiana proving this and heard absolutely nothing. Wal-Mart the low price leader sticking it up your a$$ every day. Imagine how many times a day they are taking advantage of people who probably would never check this.
