Message dankman beers 257 º places 20 º 15:32 Wed 9/26/2012 Only a total dirtbag knows they are paying less because of a mistake on behalf of an employee. I hope anyone here that is willing to screw over a business owner due to a mistake they find experiences the same in return.
Message left_bank beers 106 º places 107 º 15:44 Wed 9/26/2012 as far as i can remember,most stores in montreal give you the item free if the price on the register is different to the marked price on the bottle/shelf. as to paying less because of an employee mistake,can not agree with dankman more!

Message TURDFERGUSON beers 4067 º places 154 º 17:29 Wed 9/26/2012 Was in Boston in 2007 and found some 1999 3f Oude Gueuze at bauer wine and spirits. Got two bottles ( kicking myself for not buying it all now) for $15/bottle.

We had a guy get a 4 pack of great river oktoberfest for $2.49 today instead of $8.99 because my boss (the owner) didn’t click a button. I noticed and brought the can over next door and fixed the problem. Hire better staff or train people better and things like this would happen a lot less and get corrected quickly. I’d like to say it evens out with all of the random pricing errors we most likely have in our favor, but a customer is going to be a lot more vocal about something being priced $.10 over what they think it is vs. getting something for $6 off. In my example earlier, the store had everything from goose island in 4 packs at $4.99 and just marked seasonal clearance. I would hope they knew the difference between a $20 4 pack and an $8 4 pack. Maybe they just wanted to get it off the shelf in favor of something that would move instead of collecting dust.

I’m a retail grocery manager and if we make a price mistake, we honor the lower price every single time. They’re not dirtbags we when made the mistake, and we certainly appreciate it when they bring it to our attention.
Message portableparty beers 2397 º places 20 º 17:52 Wed 9/26/2012 2010 I brought up a 15th anniversary Great Divide Wood Aged Double IPA and the clerk looked at the register and said there is a mistake "there is no way a beer costs $9.99 this is a single bottle and those are only $1.69 Did I feel guilty NO I was excited to get an awesome deal! There are days I spend $60 in a store and days where I spend $10. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time! Another story that did not happen to me, but my brothers boss. He happened to walk in a store looking to buy Surly Four and when he brought 2 to the counter and the clerk rang them up for $4.99 each he ran back and bought several more! Who doesn’t like being in the right place at the right time? I know nobody likes being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
Message RamyG4 beers 324 º places 3 º 17:59 Wed 9/26/2012 I bought and filled 2 growlers at a store a few months ago. The forgot to charge me for the growlers themselves (8.99 each), but I pointed out their mistake and paid for them. Oh well.
