WOW!!! $1.25 each. I was thrilled. I wanted to make Water Melon Juice and Freeze some. If you never made it, it's yummy. I would have one melon for eating and one for juicing.
I got to the register and they rang up $2.50 each. I told the cashier they were a BOGO. He began to dispute it and I went back and took a photo of the signs and showed it to him. He continued to try enforcing his perception.
I was about ready to walk away from the whole order when he relented and gave me the two watermelons for $2.50. If the sign had said $4.99 each and the BOGO, I would have said to myself $2.50 each. But the sign said they were $2.50 each.
At one supermarket chain I shop at, if the item it priced wrong or rings up wrong you get the item for free. This supermarket does not have that policy.
Also, I am a senior on a fixed income, I watch my prices carefully so I don't go over budget. So, if I sound like I am making a mountain out of a molehill I would suspect you may have a larger food budget, probably working and not worried about the small stuff. :-)
For those of us struggling to pay the bills and have healthy food on the table it can be challenging.
I consider myself a smart and savvy shopper. This particular day they stood by their signs, but not without a bit of a resistance.
Advertising police where are you when I need you?? :-)
