Sorry to burst everyones bubble, but I work at a Fred Meyers, the ad that marks Metroid Prime Trilogy as $29.99 is a misprint by the people that make our ads, we have corrected this mistake by posting a note on our display cases, so you will have to pay $50 for this title.
Sorry to have to bring it up, and I can't control what our bosses tell us and can't control a misprint, but I am sorry to say if you plan to go to Fred Meyers trying to buy this game for $29.99 your in for a bitter disappointment.
And for your info, Fred Meyer is a company that runs in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska, and have been bought out recently by the Kroger company, which also owns Ralph's if you ever heard of it.
[quote name='thingsfallnapart']They don't have to give you the advertised price in Washington state if their is signs by the product saying it was a price mistake.[/QUOTE]He's right, in Washington you can post its a mistake right on the games display case and you don't have to honor the ads.
Secondly talking to a manager is going to do diddly squat as it's corporate that tells us not to honor it by any means, if you have a problem with it, talk to them, and please don't flame me because we don't honor it, I am just a employee and got to go by the rules set in front of me, I am not saying we shouldn't it, its just the fact that we're not suppose to.
[quote name='MasterSun1']I don't see why you would be denied, unless somebody told management specifically that the Fred Meyer price was a mistake.
I had this lady (dark blonde, glasses), prob in her late 40s at customer service who did everything for me no problem. She was very nice and courteous about it. I complimented her on her service as she was able to scan everything and get everything to ring up correctly no problem, with her only needing a manager approval for the PM. Great service![/QUote]
It's actually included in a corporate email, which is then sent to our store director, the store director then does everything in her power to try to correct it by posting the signs to be put on the display cases to alerting employees not to honor it, and as a employee we have to alert people that it is a mistake and not sell it for that price, if we do we can repremended now and possibly lose our jobs.
