Complaint Review: Albertsons Food Stores

I purchased the pork chops (thin cut) which were on sale this week and assumed (wrongly) that the sale price would ring up.  When I checked my receipt outside the store I realized it hadn't.  I went back inside and the clerk/manager said "whoops, the guy who fixes the prices didn't come in so some of the incorrect prices are ringing up wrong."  I got the difference, but how many other customers believed Albertson's was going to be accurate in their pricing and got ripped off.

And for only "the guy" to fix the prices?  Who are they kidding?  Is this just a ploy to get some extra income for the store or is it sloppy programming on their part.  How many other stores had the same problem?  Was this an issue statewide?

This is the second time in several months that I caught Albertson's being sloppy in their pricing and ripping people off.  It's never so much that it's worth a trip back to the store and I'm sure the management is happy with that.  And they definitely don't offer to give you the item free anymore (or a big discount for catching their errors).  There are probably so many of them, they'd go broke.

Shame Albertsons!  I guess I'm going back to Vons where I don't have this sort of problem (and the prices are cheaper).
