     Prices are changed automatically Saturday night.  (Kroger)  Many 
times price descrepancies occure when the price tags are misplaced.  An 
item may go off sale, but the new shelf tag for that item is lost.  The 
higher proce _could_ be the correct one, but the new tag simply wasn't 
hung on the shelf.  Still, then, we are stuck, as it is our policy to 
give the customer the product for the marked price.  I am unsure as to 
how many people actually know how to manually change prices in the 
system.  I know how, but I have only done it once... on the direction of 
my boss.  We can't very well have people changing prices all the time.... 
could get to the point employees lower prices so they can get a cheaper 
product... illegally.

   Well, in the case of Kroger, with several hundred items on sale in any 
given week, it is impossible for every employee to know the price ov 
every item in the store.  Especially casheirs who only ring stuff up.  
They never see the product on the shelves.  Us stockers can generally 
keep a few items on sale in our minds, but then only a few, such as items 
listed in the weekly ad.
