Yesterday, there was a customer who had a problem with the price of 2 different size detergents. It turned out the price was the same on both sizes. The customer didn't think it made sense for the price to be the same on both sizes. I ended up writing a note for scan to fix the problem which the customer accepted.

This isn't a sucky customer per say. They may honestly to their mind be looking out for the store's best interest.

Maybe it's just another case of idiots in corporate. Last week the morons who come up with my companies weekly sales put two different sizes of Centrum Silver on sale for the same price. If the 60ct and the 100ct are both on sale for $4.99, did they really think sales of the 60ct would be that good?"Never argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." - Anonymous

I run into this every so often.
The regular size of whatever I'm looking at will be one price, and the "family" size will be the same or lower.
However, I understand that it's usually a push to move the larger item and take it if I can possibly use it. I cringe when I buy the smaller item, but I hate wasting stuff I can't possibly use more than paying a higher price per volume.

Years ago, when I was with the gas station, our mid-grade was the same price as our regular. I asked the boss about this, and he said they got charged the same price for both of them, so that was what I explained to customers. Even though they were the same price, regular outsold mid-grade by about twenty to one, so we got rid of it and put in diesel instead.

I just looked it up, it's the emissions system that can get messed up if you use moderately too high octane, like premium 97 or 100 in a car meant for 87
OTOH some not so bright drag racers or illegal street racers manage to get their hands on 130 octane jet fuel.
unfortunately for them, leaded fuel is not just toxic and illegal in cars, it also has a nasty habit of messing up your oxygen sensor.DILLIGAF
