Harris Teeter is using false advertising and Bait and Switch methods to sell holiday season turkeys.
Thursday, 11/13 sign posted at the turkey bin stated three day sale on turkeys starting Friday, 11/14/03, for. 29 cents a pound.
The frozen turkeys were in the bin, Butterball and Harris Teeter brands. The sign made no distinction between brands for the sale.
At 9 AM Friday morning, I attended the "sale". The sign had been changed over night stating customers must purchase $25. Oo of goods to get the turkey at. 29 cents a lb. Still no distinction made on the sign at the turkey bin as to brands to which the sale applied.
At the far end of the bin, away from the sale sign, Butterball turkeys were reduced to. 99 cent/lb, no $25 purchace required.
I went to the meat counter to confirm the price. The meat manager said the. 29 cents per lb. Was on all turkeys. I went to the front desk and again it was confirmed by the assistant manager.
At the check out couinter, the price of. 99cent/lb was applied using the store discount card.
The changing of the sale signs over night was deplorable. I will di very limited shopping at Harris Teeter in the future.
