I purchased a pair of boots today for $34. There was a sticker on the side of the box that clearly stated a price of $34 as well as a large sign in front of all the boxes. I was taking my receipt from the cashier and preparing to leave when a woman walked up to the cashier next to me to pay for the same pair of boots I just purchased. As I was gathering my things, I heard her say, "I should not have to pay $34 for these boots because I got them over on the $22 sale rack". The cashier said she'd have to call a manager about that to check. I debated in my head whether to just stand there and wait for the manager to come. Because if they were going to give this woman the boots for $22, I thought I should protest and ask for a refund and get them for the same price as this woman. The manager was taking a while to come and I had other places I needed to be, so I decided to leave the store. I do not know if the woman was able to get the boots for $22. I think this woman was being dishonest. I think she knew darn well what those boots cost due to the big sticker on the side of the box but decided to do the old "but they were on the sale rack under the wrong price" trick. Did I do the right thing by leaving the store and not waiting to try to protest for what was a dishonest price? Or should I have stuck around and demanded the same $22 price if the woman was given it?? Thanks for your thoughts!
