PMing a misprint in a flyer...Wrong or not?

[Jody22002]

I have spotted two responses in threads since yesterday where the original poster was making others aware that the Daisy Razors in the SDM flyer at 1.99 were a misprint(They are actually supposed to be 11.99) and and someone suggested PMing the mistake at another store.

Wrong or not?

I, personally, think it's wrong. It's one thing if you didn't know the original price was a misprint but, in my opinion, it's stealing if you knew it was a misprint and then took your flyer to WM and pm'd it anyway.

Opinions?

Why PM? SDM is honouring the price!

[Jody22002]

Only some SDM's are honoring the price. I was at SDM this morning and they already had a correction notice up on the door.

If you know something is wrong, and you do it anyway - SHAME ON YOU.

In this case, some SDM stores are honoring their mistake - nothing wrong with that - all the power (and savings) to you.

Maybe that's just the police officer in me - but you have to look at yourself in the mirror each morning

I agree with you, that its ok if you dont know but if you know its wrong.

People will do what they think is right for them. I was lucky in that DH went this morning and my SDM was honouring the mistake. Others may need these and say, to heck with it.

Is it wrong? I would think so if you know that it is a mistake. But who am I to pass judgement?

NOT where I shop,,,

I'm focusing on whats right or wrong for me.. I wouldnt do it but its up to others to decide what works for them.. Walmart says they will price match any flyer.. I havent noticed anywhere that they say they don't price match mistakes..

None of the stores here are..

If aware that it's a misprint and one still PM's, I think that's intentionally dishonest

[Natalka]

I would never.

the world is full of crooks.

and yes ppl who go out of their way to be dishonest are crooks.

may they get really bad razor burn, where it counts!

[KrazE]

I never bothered to even look for them since I absolutely hate Daisy razors




When you know the price was a misprint and use it to PM elsewhere, shame on you!

If you are a parent, then double shame on you. As a parent, you should lead by example, and if your example is to be a lying dirty thief, then you are not teaching them to be honest!

Totally dishonest. If SDM is honoring the price, then go for it - stock up. But pm'ing when you know it's a misprint, that's wrong wrong wrong.

Their policy actually does state they don't price match mistakes.
We do not honor:

• Ads when the actual price for items cannot be determined.
• Internet pricing
• Misprinted ad prices of other retailers
• "Going out of business" sales or "close out" prices

Which makes me even more frustrated when people pull this crap. But there are those that will continue to do so if they get away with it, no matter right or wrong, Although Walmart needs to pull it's side of the agreement and enforce it too.
