Every now and then I have a day where something new I have to talk about comes up after posting for the day. Today is one of those days. Something happened to me after posting what I already posted. I went to Wal-Mart to purchase some much needed items and following is exactly what occurred.
Being a low-price shopper, I always try to buy the cheapest of the item I am out to get. I had to get jeans, so I searched for the cheapest price advertised. However, after checking out, I check my receipt to find I was charged two dollars more on each pair that I had bought. I went to customer service to point this out and was told that because I bought the extended sizes, they charge 2 dollars more for each. I then argued that it was not made known on the shelf that this would be the case, but the lady swore it was. I decided to go check again, and saw the notice on only one brand type and not all of them. I went back and pointed this out as well only to be told that all of them adhere to that even if it is not made known on all of them. Needless to say, I did not get the money returned to me.
There are two things about this whole incident that really sets me off. The first thing is that if it is not made know clearly that ALL jeans are 2 dollars extra for each extended size, then one should NOT be charged more than the advertised price. The second thing is the simple fact of even charging more for extended sizes. Why should a big and tall person have to pay more for the same type jeans that a regular person buys just because they are big and tall? To me, this is outright discrimination against those who are taller and bigger than others. Jeans and shirts should always be one price for ALL people no matter the size or shape. This just appears to be a slap in the face of the big and tall by the society of slim and trim people.
Anyway, that is my extra rant for the day. Once again take care and be safe always everyone.
