It is not uncommon that when certain types of people do not get desired results, they become irrational and grope at blaming other's before taking responsibility for their own actions. How can anyone dispute this, yet one respondant here actually does.
Should anyone signing a contract only hear what is said, or thought they said, then make assumption to the rest of the contractual content? Should claims of what was said or thought was said mandatorily supercede the print in the contract? Does the written print really have no value? Why should concrete written word submit to hearsay? If a shady used car saleman gives you a sucker pitch with a really friendly smile, why would he then need for you to sign on the line underneath all that pointless small print? Ken wouldn't do that, but that other responder would. Interesting.
There is a legal rescindence period (usually several days) that offers the signee the opportunity to read a contract thoroughly. Within that period, the contract may be cancelled for any reason, including a discrepancy with what any employee had said or was accused to have said. One solution would be to bring a tape recorder, then ask the employee to read the entire contract from beginning to end at the checkout line. Most people, however, take personal responsibility for my signature by choosing to read the contract.
There are nice people like Josey that find it a bit easier to blame other's before taking responsibility for their word. Nice people like this sometimes have an obsession with expressing an opinion which neither has anything to do with the subject, nor offers any competent solution. There is a personality correlation between the inability/refusal to read a contract and the attacking of other's whom take responsibility for their word. Josey is only exercising his prerogative to do this. I, however, hesitate conducting myself as Josey chooses, as I would appear precariously similar to a coward hiding behind a monitor while displaying a weak self esteem generated by what no one could really care less about. Josey is cool, though, and is nothing like that.

Old news. "The sales pitch." You succumbed. These are sales clerks whose only agenda is to sell the plans because they will not have jobs if they don't. Managers get bonused on store plan performance. Clearly the mouse print is meant to deceive. If it wasn't, then the main terms of the plans would be posted on signs in the respective areas. Cancel the plans.

It's sad the minimum wage check out people don't know the written policy...that leaves it up to the customer to read it and determine if it's what is really what they want.
IF, they violated the terms of the WRITTEN agreement, pursue it through the BBB and if appropriate, small claims court.
This is the reason a WRITTEN agreement supercedes all else to head off the he said, she said, later.
