3 /5 Kevin Ott: Overpriced. Probably have a different price list for locals. That kind of discrimination is becoming more and more common. For example. I visited another co-op along the same route 60 miles away. A local farmer, two places ahead of me on line, paid $.50 for a 16oz cup of coffee. I paid $1.89 for the same cup. Its becoming more common than you might think. Ive also noticed that about 95% of the smaller locally owned convenience stores are removing prices from their aisle displays. Not sure if thats legal or not but this store is no exception. My guess is that your items price differently depending which key the clerk presses on the compuer prior to scanning the first item. And by -the-way, why is the clerk touching the keyboard anyway. POS systems are designed to read the barcode first inorder to minimize human error. Ever use the grocery store self checkout lane. Exactly. Nevertheless, I never buy anything that isnt clearly priced on the shelf. Food for thought?
