...for the haggling. But look upon it as a matter of principle. All of life's transactions are negotiable.
Today I went to the Pharmacy to pick up what needed to be picked up, and I passed the display prominently featured on the side aisle: Four 32-ounce bottles of Tide for $10.00. I don't need to buy many things anymore, but I do wash clothes, and this seemed like a good price, so I purchased the 4 jugs along with one other item. I don't usually bother checking my receipts, but as I walked away from the register, the price paid, $32.87, seemed high for what I'd bought. Still in the store, I returned to the register for a price check. The cashier asked if I could take a picture of the sale price on my phone to show her, but I said she could see the posted price from where she was.
She instantly agreed that I'd been overcharged. The steps she had to take to correct the error were involved, but I finally received a refund of $15.08. (Maybe it was worth it.)
