Default Omg, do not buy pop from the Superstore liquor store.

I bought four 2-litre ginger ales from superstore liquor store last night because i was too lazy to walk across the parking lot. Today i find out that they are a dollar each in the main store while i paid $2.49 for each. Thanks for telling me cashier person... Ass! ARRGH! I hate superstore!

How is it Superstore's responsibility to tell you the price difference? I think a minimum wage worker has more problems on their plate than to save you $5.96.

When you paid $2.49 per bottle you were paying your perceived value for those goods.

You found a $1.49 value per bottle in making your purchases in the liquor store over the main store.

You have nothing to complain about.

If your username means you were born in 1984, I feel very sorry for the rest of your life - Learning that at 27 = failure.

You guys are missing the point. This is the same company. SAME COMPANY. Same company, different prices. Discrimination anyone?

How is this discrimination? Are they discriminating against people who drink?

I think it's a smart business move. People need drinks with their alcohol and don't want to wait in a big lineup for their drinks so they sell it for more at the liquor store where there is no lineup and if you're in the NE, you don't have to make your way through 20,000 people to get to the drinks.

Suck it up, buttercup. Next time ask how much something is before you purchase it.

I fail to see how this is any different then paying different amounts for using electricity during different parts of the year or paying different amounts for using cell phone services during times other then evenings and weekends, etc.

I feel bad for my comment in my post above this one - Obviously you're... slow.

I shouldn't be making fun of the slow, or so my mother taught me - I apologize.

What?

ohh - it means "I'm sorry"
