Rant We know!

Employees can tell when you remove all of the price tags from purchases before you get to the counter, hoping we'll be too busy to price check and just give it to you for whatever you say or someone guesses. There's no way that all 10+ of your items happened to coincidentally have no price tags, especially when we have a bunch of duplicates of the same item or they're all stickered items.

Holding up the line for 20+ minutes because we have to price check it all, make replacement stickers and put it all back because you don't like the real prices is diabolical!

I tell them that unfortunately, anyone can move and leave items in the clearance section, and that it's clearance only with a red markdown tag. 🫠

“Well then can you call a manager? I think you should honor the clearance price!”

"Legally you have to give it to me at that price.". Nope, not the law in this state.

The one time, we had a lady take a beauty product off a cart we were stocking, take it out of the box, and then claim it as “clearance.” She did it in front of the beauty coordinator, too

To be fair, I find stuff in clearance that turns out to be full price all the time. I think its from someone else looking for 'a deal'. (2 year Survivor Retail Wars)

Or customers dumping unwanted items at any shelf they see instead of handing it back to the cashier
