I realize this isnt breaking news but I just find this funny in way. How in the world did the cashier not notice that a computer was ringing up for 14.95! I first thought maybe the guy went through the USCAN where you scan the item yourself but he didnt as you can see from the security cam video. http://www.wkrc.com/mediacenter/?videoId=6659

If it was a Gateway he got ripped off.

The clerk was an imbecile.

Did he get help from an employee carrying it to his car?:)

If I pick up an item that is mismarked at the store and I go thru checkout. Is that robbing? no.

If I switch tags on an item and mismark the item with intent to go to checkout, am I robbing? yes.

If I see a 1995 BMW 325i selling for 1,500 dollars - am I going to be suspicous of the seller and ask "What's wrong with it?" or am I going to say to myself, "hell ya, I can replace the engine for that much and still come out ahead." and just buy the darn thing before somebody else does.

Heck, for all the guy knew - maybe it was returned merchandise and had a bad hard drive or something.

If I were the guy, I would return to the store and ask for a refund. The marked down computer was clearly defective. < /sarcasm >

More proof that no transaction can be made simple enough for someone not to screw up; and, more to the argument that no one ever notices the big mistakes. I would bet that that clerk followed every rule in the book; they were not hired to make judgment calls, they were not tasked with making judgment calls, so why should this surprise us?

Jeez, all these post of people that have made out one way or another! Am I the only one that has to watch everything like a HAWK?? Seems like ever other time I buy something, it rings up wrong, IN THE STORE'S FAVOR. Infuriates me! I'm at the point where I won't let the supermarket scan items unless I'm watching the screen.
