This happened at Publix about a week or so ago, while I was at the deli. I think the deli is one of my favorite places for sucky customer stories, like this one:
SC: You know who
DE: Deli employee
SC: Yes, I'd like a pound of the Publix turkey at $5.99 a pound.
DE: I'm sorry, maam, but it's $7.99 per pound.
SC: That's not correct! Your sign up there says $5.99 per pound!
DE: Yes, maam, it does, but it also says "pre-sliced only".
SC: Well, pre-sliced is what it is before you put it in the bag!
DE: I'm sorry, but the pre-sliced is over there in the cooler. If we slice it here, it's $7.99 per pound.
SC: That's false advertising! (And the lady did not immediately storm off, but took her $7.99 per pound turkey. She probably went to see a manager later on and got her $5.99 per pound price).
The sign up above the deli was white, with black lettering stating this. And, there was an orange sticker on it, with black magic marker saying "PRE-SLICED ONLY!". There was no way you could miss it, and it was proven to this lady what the conditions of it were, yet she continued to argue.
