One time I was in Fresno and needed a shirt for the day. My wife and I dropped into the Walmart on Kings Canyon and looked at the polo shirts. They were on the Sale rack so I picked one in my size and we ended up buying some other stuff. So we were at the cashier and she ran the shirt first. It came out to 78 cents. She was like, yeah they’re probably trying to get rid of these to make room for new ones. So I excused myself and asked my wife to pay for the rest of the items she was ringing up. I went and got an empty cart and headed straight for the rack with the polo shirts. I filled my cart with the larger shirts, went to the self check out and rang them up. Sadly, I had to ring up one at a time because we didn’t have the option of ringing them up in bulk. The lady watching the self check out noticed I was buying a bunch and so she came up and saw that they were 78 cents each. She asked where I got them and I said on the rack that has the Sale sign on it. She asked if she can borrow one just for a sec. Then she went back , got on the phone and talked about it with a supervisor. I just Kept scanning. She just came back and handed it back to me. Nothing they can do about a price mistake on their part, but ain’t sure they adjusted the price after we left. I ended up handing those out to people I knew who could use them. Most didn’t fit me anyway. But It was a fun day.
Rule of thumb is if the scanner takes it then you are legit to go. Believe it or not but some discontinued items hidden up there high at lowes and home depot are sometimes pricing at 0.01 at the register. Now to find them, you have to have an inventory checker and a skew number. There is a group of coupon queens that can help you out. I found a few myself through undisclosed tip leads. They set it up at 0.01 cents for a reason. They are discontinued so they are not allowed to sell it to you. They are to be returned back to the vendor for destruction. However, they have self check out and it will read at 1 penny. They say to pad it with other stuff that you buy for the win.
So with your case, they were probably trying to get rid of their inventory. If the sale pricing is not the same as the tag pricing then that is a price mistake. No shame in the game here. If you find price mistake that even them store employees do not even know then that's your win. If they let you purchase it at that pricing, leave one for the cashier. IF they are not at work, they are still customers. It is frown upon for employees to buy these price mistake first but they do it anyhow. They call up their family members to go pick it up if found.
