my local target is trying to pull some kind of scam... [View All]

[prole_for_peace]

this is very important: i went there the other day to buy some candy for my co-workers (actually for myself). i usually get peanut m&ms. the medium bag is 14 oz and is priced $2.19. but i saw they had a "10% more fee" bag and decided to get some of them. but then i saw the price on the shelf $2.59. wtf??!! it is supposed to be 10% more FREE not 40 cents. so i was feeling pissy and went to customer service. the woman behind the counter was clueless to what i was telling her "See this bag is 14oz for $2.19. this bag is 10% more FREE for $2.59. it doesn't make sense. yes the bag you are selling for $2.59 is 10% more of the $2.19 bag. 14 oz x 10% = 1.4 oz and the bigger bag is 15.4 oz (14 + 1.4 = 15.4)." so she finally calls a manager and tells me to explain it because she doesn't understand. i explain it all again and the manager seems to understand. i go back this morning: 14oz for $2.19 and 15.4oz for $2.59.

i know it isn't much but it is the point dammit.
