The local hardware store gave me a different price than the sign said, so I walked out

I went to Ace Hardware on Tuesday to grab a gallon of primer I saw marked at $28.99 on the shelf. When I got to the register, the guy rang it up at $35.50 and said the sign must be old. I told him the sign was right there and showed him a picture I took, but he just shrugged and said he couldn't change it. I left the primer on the counter and went down the street to Lowe's where they matched it instantly. Has anyone else had a store refuse to honor their own shelf tags?

Why didn't you just ask them to update the sign and come back later?

I waited at a coffee shop once for 20 minutes past the time they said they'd be open. Finally I just walked in and asked the barista if they could flip the sign over. She laughed and said the owner forgot to change it before leaving. So I got my coffee, no big deal. Sometimes people just don't notice the little stuff. Next time you might try just asking whoever's around, they usually don't mind fixing it.
