Best Buy fail = I win!
crashwg:
About 10 years ago I was working for Home Depot as a "Lot Attendant" (Cart Pusher) and I noticed there was a box of area rugs labeled with the price of the box next to it which was $20 or so less. I brought it to the attention of my immediate supervisor and mentioned that I was thinking about buying one tossing in a "if I were a regular customer you'd give it to me for the miss-marked price." Surprisingly enough, she went for it. WIN :P
Maybe a year ago Walmart had an end-cap of those upside down tomato planters marked at $5 when they were still $10-12 or so. Took a bit of work to get the right personnel over there to get the deal but again, put another one in the WIN column! After the fact I was kicking myself for not getting a few to give as gifts but when we decided to buy it we'd thought the price was legit and we could come back and get more. Oh well...

Yup. I mess up on a quote, I honor it, even if it means I eat the cost of the screwup. It's my signature, I said I'd do the job for this, why shouldn't I have to?
Is it any different with Best Buy? Or a mom and pop store? They post a price, the signature and quote is implied -- they've said they will deliver this item for this price.
I hold up my end of the deal by paying, they should hold up their end of the deal by honoring the price they've listed at.

I have actually had this happen on a number of occasions. Including getting the item for free when its under $10.00 .. It was just some toiletry items at shoppers drug mart but the shelf said one price and the cash register had another so she just threw it in the bag and said you get this item for free.. thats our policy..

I think that you picked the absolute worst possible example of responsibility on the entire planet ... not really up on current economics, are you ?

I am up to current economics thank you, notice how I didnt say WHAT bank, but you assume most banks work with money right? Not ALL the American banks are in the toilet now anyway, most of them are back to being in decent shape. What Im saying is, like everyone else mentioned, is that if I screw up, I have to honor my mistake. If I quote a CD rate wrong, I have to give it to the customer at what rate Im quoted at. Like others have said, you need to eat the cost because it was your mistake. Thats all I was saying. RayB pissed me of at his "You Americans" remark. I hate that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
