Hmm, the two Zany Brainys here have several signs up advertising the
speed controller for $19.95 when purchased at the same time as 4565. Of
course a parent in a hurry might not notice that, but then I would never
expect the register clerk during the Christmas rush to point out this
defficiency, even if they were aware of it. Sure it would be nice for
the register clerk to know this, but Zany Brainy is a large enough store
that you can't expect every employee to be knowledgeable about every
product sold in the store.
