    How dare you give me a discount

    I witnessed this today and it left me rather stunned.
    Background: my local grocery store has a promotion of 5 meat items for $20. Basically if you buy 5 marked items the POS automatically changes the price to $4 each. If you buy more than five it makes every item $4.

    I was in line when an old guy started arguing with the clerk because he bought 6 items. His argument wasn't that the system made an error and he did not get the sale price, rather he was arguing that since he did not buy in quantities of 5 he should pay full price for item number 6.

    After a few minutes of the clerk explaining that yes he got the sale price on all items and that it was correct he was told he needed to go to the service counter in order to pay the higher amount.

    A lot of stores have those deals set up where you must buy in quantities of 5/whatever the number is to get the sale (if the magic number is 5 and someone buys 7, the last 2 will ring up at full price).

    I've had customers argue a price up (item scans at $3, they insist it's 2/$7 and they want that 'deal'...ok if you insist...). People are strange.

      A chain grocery here does the same thing. Sometimes they even have stuff worth getting on that deal ~_~ Tends to be decent if you get it right after they refill the bin, tho they will occasionally slip up and throw in a pack of something that costs less than $4...
