The jig is up at my mismanaged wally's. Incidentally their sign outside has been screwed up for a while. Who's Les?
This is not a photochop, I swear.
I grabbed a 5 qt jug of supertech that had a shelf sticker of $4.68 and checked out, getting charged $4.97. Promptly saw customer service. First CSM promised to price check, walked away, and never came back! Second CSM telephoned automotive and they gave the $4.97 price. I was starting to get steamed but thanked the lady nicely and walked out to put the oil in my trunk.
Returned to the automotive dept. and all the wrong labels were scraped off! No new labels were in place, in violation of local unit-pricing laws. In hindsight I should have gone over to the gun section next aisle over and asked the guy to page the associate in charge of automotive for customer assistance. Then we'd have had a "nice" chat.
Returned to customer service; they were of no help. No $3 bounty if the wrong price can't be confirmed. Suspect someone scraped stickers off to avoid trouble. Took names of all parties involved and quite visibly entered manager's phone number into my cellphone. Will see where this leads....
Until this deal ran out I got 5 qts ST 10w30, 1 gal Delo 400 15w40, 1 gal ST Dexron III for a grand total of ~$4 over a few days. The Delo, Dexron, and Rotella are still mispriced, so it's not over yet.
