I know what youre saying here Jeff, and I somewhat have to agree. I was
at a Kmart (I think it was) and bought a case of Snapple for the guys at
work. It rang up to $1.05. I said "Thats the unit price, I bought a case"
She said "Well thats what the computer rang up as, and the computers are
never wrong". So now the manager is over and says "Whats the problem
here" I say "No problem for me, but you might want to check your
scanners...", and I continued to show him. So I say "Ok, scan this single
bottle" It came up $1.05, then I said "Scan this case again" It came up
with $1.05. "Do you see a problem here?"I ask?? "No" was their reply. I
said "Ok (you ignorant bastards), I bought another case, and left! So
you can only go so far with these people, because "The computer is always
right". If I got charged $89 for the case, it wouldnt hit them either,
and of course "The computer would have been right..."
So now, I try one shot, then I dont look a gift horse in the mouth.. (how
does that saying go?)
