It wasn't terribly close, I don't think, but I can see where I could almost have been viewed as sucky.
So, after the "Your music is offensive" thread, I went looking to get some classical music today. Specifically, had to have Tchaikowsky's 1812 Overture, Beethoven's 5th, and some Mozart (since I don't really know what of his music I've heard in the past).
Was trying to decide which one to get today, when I saw the sign above the discs: Buy 2, Get The 3rd Free! Figured why not, and got all three.
To the nearby cash register I go, and am expecting a total of about $30. I get told $40. Something doesn't ring true, so I say "But... I thought", and realize I'd better re-check the signage. I do, and read the part I missed: All DVDs, not CDs.
Turned back to the cashier, and apologized. Paid, and headed out (still bought all three at least). But I know I was questioning her having done it right, and I know she probably has that happen all day long.
In my defense, having that sign over a whole rack of nothing but CDs does tend to be a bit misleading. Ah well.
