Better Bring Some Wire Clippers With You When You Shop At This Walmart
You'll need them to cut off the right amount of penny at the cash register. Or, we suppose you could add something to your cart that includes 6/10 of a penny to even it all out—but that's how they get you, with those "even penny" purchases. (Thanks to Amanda!)

You'd think the fact that the extra number clearly doesn't fit into the space provided would have tipped them off to the mistake.
@squinko: Haha.. Reminds me of the days when I was allowed one hour of internet per week and if I wanted an additional hour of AOL my mom charged me $3.65/hour. No joke.
Perhaps it means $17,504?
O_o
Calling all "real" housewives: Wal-Mart now sells Gucchi fur coats.
Or perhaps the 504 is reffering to a pair of Levi's?
In Either case Death to Walmart unless its a really good deal on Capri Sun, then Death to Walmart next Tuesday!
They are taking the gas station approach to pricing. In today's economy, every 1/10 of a cent counts!
It's seventeen dollars and fifty (50) four cents
You know what they say- math is power!
(And for everyone else, you can always work at Walmart)
@Gtmac...and sometimes y: Pretty sure the 04 is one number slide over a 50, or something. Instead of removing the orginal cents number, they just placed a new number over top. Somebody bumped it, and it moved out of place. Looks funny, but I don't believe that anyone thinks something cost 17 dollars and 504 cents.
@squinko: Ha. Win.
I'll venture a guess that his aol profile hobbies mention the phrase "RePReseNtIng _insert home suburb_"
@summerbee: Hey man, don't punt me. Let me give you a mug of ale. c|__| Would you like a bigger one? c|________|
Oh ASCII, how I miss thee.
They are preparing you for what prices will be once Obama gets all of his extra taxes he is going to put on businesses. The price is actually $17,504. But keep in mind, he promised 95% of the people will get a tax cut. Only businesses and the rich will be taxed more. So if you never buy anything, you won't be paying higher taxes.
@squinko: Your ale wasn't good enough. I'll punt you with my latest WaReZ.

@Smorgasbord: Out with the Godwin theory, and in with the Obama theory! :) In every thread, on every website, there is a chance that the subject will change to how Obama will ruin America.
I think you'd enjoy life more if you weren't so consumed by politics and hating the other side.
Maybe it's supposed to be $17,504.00
In which case, those must be some sweet, sweet jeans.
@Gtmac...and sometimes y: I would bet this is $17.54, and they ran out of the right components to post that price, but had a "04" available.
@DoubleEcho: The way Obama is running our country, with all of this socialized medicine and bank takeovers and some such, we'll end up just like the Nazis!!!
Wire clippers will never cut through a penny. Bring tin snips.
The item costs $22.04, duh.
@Smorgasbord: Just to lock it all up, Hitler. Also, Stalin and Lenin.
There we go, unless I need to resort to a 50 Hitler strike to finish it off?
Wal*Mart's Black Friday wrongful death lawsuit, and subsequent terms of litigation, has some really drastic effects already! (lol)
The company agreed to hire 50 Nassau County high school students annually.I can see a supervisor telling them "Adjust the price to 17dollars and fifty four", but some kid thinking "five zero four" when s/he got to the bin full of numbers.
Now I'm not saying that us Long Island High School graduates are dumb or anything...
@Smorgasbord: @DoubleEcho: Out with the Godwin theory, and in with the Obama theory! :) In every thread, on every website, there is a chance that the subject will change to how Obama will ruin America.
Not really on topic, but it is a pretty good point!
@Smorgasbord: Congrats! You are the latest entry in my running tally of people "Blaming Obama for Everything!"
@trujunglist: LOL, sorry I missed your IM, TOSAdvisor. I just realized that I have this sweet music file on my computer called canyon.mid!

>SwEeT!.
@nakedscience: I think it was how much AOL actually cost per hour. This was 4th grade so like..um... 1995.
@squinko: i had to think for a minute, and realize that i'm probably the only one who still uses IRC :/ (pure text FTW)
@gStein: IRC is basically a haven for gamers to idle in rooms to make certain clans/guilds/groups look cool. After using it for over 10 years, I still don't remember actually having in-depth conversations on it.
BTW, best thread evar.
@yoni242: How did that ever catch on, anywhere? It takes more time and energy to type that way, unless there was some utility for it back in the 90's that I didn't know of.
