KMart Advertising

Ya, I'm grumpy. Went to WalMart to get my kids the new Harry Potter movie. No problem.

Saw the sign for 'Seinfeld' It read:

Get 3 complete seasons of Seinfeld $38.74

So I looked and there were two boxes. 1 said Seasons 1 and 2 and the second said Season 3. I looked up at the sign and again read 'Get 3 Complete Seasons of Seinfeld - $38.74. Not bad, about 19 bucks and change apiece.

So I took the 2 boxes up to the counter and clerk scanned them. Opps EACH were $38.74.

When I asked management they said 'Well the manufacturer makes the signs not us'

Needless to say I put the boxes back on the shelf and watched the clerk take down the advertisement sign.

Should have insisted they honor the sign for me first.

Bait and Switch ???
