(...) The $149 RIS1.5 package was a Boxing Day sale run by Future Shop. Thanks to Kevin Stone (who emailed me a copy of a newspaper), a number of us also got $30 extra off from the web site too (it was $117 in the store if you brought the ad-Kevin (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

Found Bionicle and the Jurassic Park 3 Studio sets today in a Toys R Us here in Calgary. Have they showed up anywhere else yet? I would imagine so, being as how Calgary is quite central. ~Adam (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Agreed. I'm not griping about the cashiers, I'm griping about the system. In this day and age when the price pops into the cash register by just swiping a bar code, there is no reason sales shouldn't be automatic. Many times it doesn't seem to (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) No, it's very much a valid concern. I used to work in labour management for a large retailer and spent a good part of my time in stores doing studies and convincing my coworkers to listen to store personnel. The cashiers get a lot of pressure (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

Seeing as how I currently do work in the service industry, I know that there are "stupid cashiers" but there is some blame to be laid on manange for not keeping their employees informed. But there are difficulties in doing that for large companies (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) While I often would like to think it's the cashier being stupid, I suspect it's actually a management problem-they're not giving their cashier employees enough responsibility to make a call on whether or not something is within the sale terms. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) "Legal", no. But "not illegal", yes. Which means you get subtle advertisements for it in the newspapers, right after the comics.

(...) That always kills me. I remember that happening at TRU once. The girl said the stuff I was buying wasn't (one of the only three sets) pictured in the ad, so it didn't apply. I did a lot of miming by pointing at the "ALL LEGO" in the ad and (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Same here-I don't see what they were all up in a fuss about, if anything just to show authority. The only thing they wouldn't give me was the 6 4285 buckets which were 6.49 each on sale (June 2-8) with the Buy One Get One offer. But that's (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) As per my experience, when I did go to Zellers yesterday, the cashier rang my stuff through, in pairs, sale entered manually. <shrug> I may have the fortune of having better-clued retail workers in my area, who knows. James (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Yuck, I had an experience like that once before when I found an older set in a K-Mart during a BOGO 50%, it didn't show up in their computer as LEGO, and it took some time and asking for the manager (who never came) before I could convince the (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Well, they had signs up in the Lego area on Saturday, and it was in the flyer. Come to think of it, both cashiers were a little confused, but I chalked it up to the 8AM daze everyone had. However, the senior cashier gave Iain Hendry and I a (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Here in BC I received a flyer that advertised the "buy one get the other at 50% off" sale. But when I was paying for my stuff the clerk asked me "Is there a sale on this stuff?" so I had to tell her about it. -Bryan (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

Hi, The flyers here in KitchenerWaterloo (came with the local Pennysaver) were printed properly with pictures of Life on Mars and Soccer. Now that doesn't mean that I didn't have to tell the clerks about it. Bought some yesterday with the 10% off at (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

(...) Yeah, it sounds like the flyers were misprinted. I'd like to know if this was only regional (the mis-print that is, not the sale). Did other people get flyers that specifically mentioned the sale? KDJ ___...___ LUGNETer #203, Windsor, Ontario, (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)

So it wasn't just me who got a flyer saying basically "We have Lego." I checked mine twice but it didn't have anything about a sale. I was even a Zellers today but there weren't any signs up for the BOGO, I thought it was a localized thing maybe. Oh (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.ca)
