Default Be vigilant when buying something by weight

Last week at Fresh Market, I bought some Surry Sausage. The sign in the display cooler said $6.99 a pound. When they weighed it, the sticker price was $8.99 per pound.

Today, I bought some sliced turkey breast from the deli. The sign in the display case said $6.49 a pound. When they rang it up, it was $6.99 a pound.

On both occasions, I caught the error and in each case, they had to find another item at the same price and use its sku. When I got to the checkout today, the lady said, "This isn't buffalo wings." I had to spend the next minute explaining what had happened.

I hate it when I have to do my job better than they do.
