False Pricing Loopholes

Regrettably this kind of issue many retailers including Radio Shack have found a way around. The little price tag that the employee pulled off more than likely had a date on it indicating the timeframe in which the sale price was valid. The existence of this loophole is what these companies use to say there is nothing they can do when something is priced incorrectly and enforce this ruling on their staff at store level.
The gentleman who assisted you may have very much wanted to help you, but he was 100% correct in stating there was nothing he could do.
