I sadly hadda go to wal mart last night and was killing time waiting for the cash registers to open up after midnight, so I looked at cds. I noticed all but one of the AC/DC cds had the prices torn off the sticker. they had a Stones dvd as well I was interested in, but it was the only dvd without a price, Whats up with that?

How much was the AC/DC CD? I heard it was going to be cheap their but maybe it is selling better than they thought. doesn't walmart have it exclusivley?
I went in once when they were trading registers. It sucked and took forever.

Maybe price tags have a negative effect on todays youth, and they don't want to take a chance

I've noticed more and more merch at Wal-Mart (and Target for that matter) not having actual prices on them, just that sticker with their name on it and some codes.

Yeah and if you want to buy it you go to the scanner, which never works, then you drop the item on the floor and walk out not buying anything.
it is a hell of a marketing strategy.

I'm more ticked by the misplacing of stuff myself. I've been looking for shelves that hold DVD's lately (my collection, just like my waistline, is big). Well, let me just say a 25 dollar shelf was in the area of a 5 dollar tag. Boy was I pissed. |

Funny true story: I picked up the DVD of TEETH at Target...took it to the price scanner, and the scanner read it as Tampax: $9.99. I scanned it again, same result. I put the movie back, and ended up getting it from Best Buy later that week. I mean, I wasn't about to take it up to the register and let THAT happen. I can only imagine the old cashier there going "HEY! HEY MARTHA! This guy's movie is ringing up as TAMPAX! What do I DO?" No thank you, I think I'll avoid that scene. |

Not tampons, people....just a movie about vagina dentata....nothing to see here, move along!" ;D |

What else would I buy? Vinyl is kinda inconvenient, much as I love it. |
