But I should add to the post title that it took 30 minutes including me arguing with a Big-W Bunbury floor manager to get this price.
1 big box of lego, advertised (so I found out at the checkout) for $28.88 on special (I’m guessing its usually $40-$50), the floor price as the photo shows: $8.88. The checkout chick and door person were great, they had to check which is their jobs, but they were good about it. The bitch who met me on the floor on the other hand wasn’t on the same planet: get this, her line was that the lego I was trying to buy was “accidentally” placed on the shelf by a customer and therefore not valid at the price. I asked her repeatedly whether she actually understood what she was saying, given there were 10 other boxes of the EXACT same lego on the shelf how it could be an accident?…indeed the entire display consisted only of the same lego products. It’s only when I started taking pictures and threatening the Trade Practices Act that something was done, by the time I was back at the checkout it was all sorted. Still 30 bloody minutes though. God, I wish we had Wal-Mart in Australia, nothing could be as retarded as anything owned by Coles or Woolworths in comparison…and this is just today’s story, if I blogged every issue I have at one of these stores there would be at least 4 posts a week…like the mole at Coles who bit my head off when I asked where a product was, telling me there was a perfectly good store guide at the end of the isle, or the moldy bread products that were 2 weeks past their use buy date at Woolworths…. 🙂
How many boxes did you buy?? At that price, I would have bought all of them; kept some for us, kept a few for gifts, and sold the rest at a profit.
Perhaps you could start a new blog. Duncan Riley – the price watchdog.
Have a cry….its called retail and big w was created under the American model of Wal-mart….and i have been to America and it is much the same as coles, woolworths and big w in Australia. Build a bridge, stop whinging, get off the internet and get out and 'LIVE LIFE' instead of sitting here a sulking about some lego price in a shop you cheapo.
Oh please, the '2' has just been knicked either by some punk kid looking to confuse people or by you looking for something to have a cry about. It's obviously not that price so grow up.
