Today I went to Albertsons to buy groceries and a turkey. I have been seeing an ad on TV that if you spend $50 or more the Honeysuckle frozen turkey would be $.69 per pound. Now, being that their printed ad said $.79 per pound I knew I would have to prove what I saw. So, I took a video of the ad on Tv on my phone and brought it in with me.
I told the clerk, who was the most curteous clerk in the store, and she called for the manager. He came over and wasn't interested in the PROOF that I had and promptly said it was for Billings and not here. I tried to show him on the video that there was no statement in the ad that said "at participating stores only". There was no reasoning with that man at all. I promptly left the checkout station and told him to keep his groceries, which totaled around $100, and left the store.
That manager needs to go back to business school if he ever went to one. Imagine that, lose a $100 sale over $2.00. I wonder what corporate would say about a store manager denying a customer an advertised price of an item and also losing a customer over $2.00.
There aren't too many other grocery stores in town, but I promptly visited one of them to do my shopping.
AMF Albertsond!!!!
