Stop and Shop price gouging !

Went into Stop and Shop last night to pick up some battery's for my radio.
The battery's were on sale five bucks for a four pack,a women was there with her price gun jacking up the price almost four bucks,she says let me have them battery's so I can change the price
I told he to take a hike and read the sign it says sale.
I hate Stop and Shop they are a scumbag company for more then just that reason

I second that vote...report them to the AG, and also drop a dime to the local media. They LOVE to make these stories front page, particulalry when it does revolve around a pending natural disaster!

This is clearly a case of price gouging, since there is no other reason for them to change the price except because it will be a "neccessity" and EVERYBODY will be looking for them.

Yes, I say report them to everyone that matters, and then drop by AFTER you see the story reported in the news and tell them that you were the one that ratted them out, and that you aren't alone!

One unfortunate side of human nature is the desire to screw each other over in times of need. Not all subscribe to this way of thinking, only the true scumbags do!

even better given that there might not be any state laws preventing gouging.

Only buy at Stop & Steal when the item is really on sale and you have a coupon.

stop and shop is for the 'well ta do's' who like to roam empty isles . All that gas savings is the biggest hoax's. In order to get 40 cents off per gallon you need to spend about $500 plus they limit you to $150 worth of gas and that equals to $20 worth of gas savings off they're gass price which is higher then any other. do you know how many items are over priced by 1 dollar or more compared to shaws or market basket? in two shopping trips you'll have saved far more then 20 bucks and depending on how you shop you can do it in one trip... what a scam that is.
