I would have to go to customer service, I know the cashier
doesn't have the authority. Can you imagine the people in
line behind me if I had them call over a supervisor? Heh.

It's just not something I would want to do. Of course if it's
already marked down, that's no problem.

Sometimes I see a manager special sticker on meat, and if
it looks good I might buy it even if it wasn't on my list. I picked
up a large package of enormous chicken drumsticks a few
weeks ago, with the $2 off sticker it was about $3.
