Totally agree. Besides, the S in MSRP is "suggested". They could charge 19.99 if they WANTED too, but instead they screwed up. Good job for sticking it to em!

Yes, it is the stores responsibility to make sure that items are priced correctly.  I don't go out of my way looking for pricing mistakes, but I have gotten a few "deals" that way over the years.

I am surprised that more stores haven't gone to electronic price displays.

We have Kohl's department stores in our area, not to be confused with kohl's grocery stores that I have seen is some areas.  Kohl's has these small LCD displays that can be updated via a wireless broadcast.  I am sure there could still be pricing mistakes with these, but they pretty much eliminate the problem of employees forgetting to take down the sale prices after the sale period is over.

They pretty much cornered the retail side of the electronics market. Well, here in CA at least. Going to the losing the job part, no, I dont think they would lose their job, but I imagine they would be reprimanded for not doing their job correctly. Kudos to getting that find, I wish I could find stuff like that.

Americans wanting everything so cheap regardless of consequence (or making a buck, regardless of consequence) is why you have such a ---smurfy--- economy for the last 2 years. "It's Best Buy we are talking about" could just as easily be worded as "it's people clinging to low-paying jobs we're talking about".

What difference does it make if Im American? And judging by that remark you must be canadian then. Consequence? Really? So youre saying some dumbass that screwed up at work shouldnt get reprimanded, even if it means the business lost money, just because he has a low paying job? I work at a bank, if I screw up, I have feds breathing down my neck, not to mention Im a manager so Im responsible for an entire branch. With money as the main aspect of the entire business. Yeah, I get paid more than a sales associate at Best Buy, and Im human so Im going to screw up, but when I do, I get in trouble for it. I dont even know what your point is, except to talk ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- about Americans.

Damn right PBJ. Just because a person has a low paying job, doesnt mean he cant do it correctly.

Take a look at our economy for beyond the past few years.
