[SADXA] Elliott Electronics Comment

[Carl Foster]

I am only guessing, but I would bet that Elliott Electronics has encountered
people who switch price tags and demand the lower price at the register. I
do not believe that the people at Elliott's have ever intentionally put a
low price tag on an item and later jacked it up at the register. A more
likely explanation is that someone tried switching price tags earlier in the
day and that caused the manager to be short. Elliott would not benefit at
all by systematically and purposely deceiving customers and then tossing
people out of the store. I witnessed the result of price tag switching at a
grocery store in the days before scanners, so I know it can happen. In that
case the customer threatened the checker. 

 

Elliott's prices are sometimes a bit high, but you can walk out of the store
and go home and solder the component you bought into your project. They have
to pay for the building, inventory, and staff. I figure that I am paying for
the convenience, and shop there to keep it open. The next closest store that
has a lot of electronic parts is Fry's in Mesa.
