However Chops is a classy place so $43 is not unreasonable just the way they framed it. Lesson learned.

The problem is that a lot of customers think of "Specials" of some kind of deal. Stores define "Specials" as things they've bought a lot of and want to sell. They are usually also very high profit margin items.
