Last year, I bought a pair of Converse cross-trainers at a Meijer in
Toledo. The sale price (on the shelf) was $29.99. When I got to the
register, the cashier couldn't find a price tag or UPC code anywhere on
the shoes or the box. She called back to the shoe department and described
the shoes (in fairly good detail, I thought) and was told that they were
$12.50! I used to work for Meijer and had gotten shafted by them many
times during the short times I worked for them, so I didn't bother to
correct the error. But when I got the shoes home, I found the price tag in
plain sight, attached to the tongue of the right shoe. (!)

If they can't hire cashiers who can find things like price tags, they
deserve to lose money.
