I have the rage
I went to the Hallmark store to get a couple of things and almost ripped some dumb sales woman's face off. I walked in, all cheery and in the Christmas spirit, wanting to get a copy of the recordable "Night Before Christmas" storybook and left the store a woman on a mission, shaking like a leaf. The book was on a display listing "On Sale! $19.95!!" and I was excited because who doesn't like to save money? So I picked up a couple of cards and ornaments and made my way to the register. The book rang up at $30.00 and I told the woman that they sign listed the price as $20 and she said "No, that's the recordable album" and gives me a mean look like "Dumb pregnant woman, can't read" (or that's how I took it. Could be hormones). I said okay, never mind, I'll pick it up next time it's on sale, no problem.
After I completed the rest of my purchase, I walked back towards the sign to see if I had read it wrong--which I hadn't. Then the woman RUNS up to me, grabs the sign and says NOTHING. I looked at her questioningly and she said "Sign was supposed to come down this morning. You can't have it at this price". So I took it as she screwed up, false advertisement, blah blah blah and said "But the sign was still up, you couldn't give me the sale price?" And she said no, walked away muttering about me being a *** under her stupid breath. I wanted to rip that santa hat she was wearing off of her dumb pointy head. I ended up returning everything I bought, telling them I'd never come back to the store and called corporate to complain.
Bah Humbug. And sorry for the novel.

I am. I tried to buy the dumb book last year and they were sold out everywhere (and selling for $200 on ebay). My step-father reads it to my step-sister every year on Christmas Eve and I wanted to get it for him to have and record/pass on to her or whatever. Something dumb and sappy. I would have come back another time and got it but the attitude of that woman just made me see red.
And thank you for validating my rage, Sam.

Isn't that in one of the consumer protection laws? If the sign is up, they have to give it to you for that price? I'm pretty sure it is here and some other states. She probably forgot to take the sign down and was covering her ass.
What did corporate say?
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
That happened to my mom a few years ago when she found a black Friday deal on a fancy coffeemaker for Lorne. When she got to the store, they were all, "Oh, that's for refurbished coffeemakers only," even though the ad she had didn't say refurbished. She complained to the manager and eventually got a new coffeemaker for the deal price. But she was rage-filled about the whole thing for quite awhile. I can only imagine the rage that would have come about if the manager hadn't relented. And the lady called you a biitch?! I'd try to contact the store manager, and if she was the manager, I'd contact Hallmark. That shiit ain't right.
Also, we have a coffeemaker that sounds like an airplane taking off from our kitchen. It's pretty awesome.
I thought the same thing about her covering her ass. I've always heard that if they have a sign up advertising a price, they have to honor it, but I wasn't sure if it was a "Customer is always right" thing or a law.
Corporate apologized profusely, promised to send me a g/c via email today and thanked me for calling and letting them know about the issue.

I think we have the same coffeemaker.
Yes. I will be birthin' a boy (Emmett) sometime around 2/10.

Oh yeah. My MIL bought one of those this weekend too. She's going to send it to us after she records it. So I get to hear her voice WHENEVER I WANT. Err, Sean gets to hear her read to him.
I validate your rage, but not your choice of item.

I see that you already said you called corporate in your original post. Ignore me, I can't read good.
I'm so happy you called corporate. What a horrible salesperson! I would be pretty rage filled too.
