Store managers, please help me out with this: Why do stores (hardware, gun, grocery, etc.) have such a hard time [b]displaying the prices[/b] of their products? It's terribly annoying to waste time on a shopping trip trying to figure out how much something costs. [b]Most[/b] stores do a good job of putting the price on [b]most[/b] of their products, but there are many exceptions. An example: earlier this week, I was at a local range and gun shop that was advertising a sale on "Remington shotguns and ammo". They had a large stack of UMC .44 Magnum ammo prominently displayed -- without any signs or any price tags on the boxes. I considered buying some, but I decided it wouldn't be worthwhile to hunt down a clerk to find out what the price was. [:|] |

Quoted: Because we like to size up the customer's wallet before giving them the price. Isn't that pretty obvious. That's probably the case at some auto dealerships but I doubt my neighborhood grocery store is going to play that game with their endive and muffin mix. [;)] |
