This last weekend was the parking lot sale at HF, and i go to the store in the corporate headquarters building! I got there yesterday, Sunday, afternoon at 1:30 and so they were pretty cleaned out. I wandered over to where theengines were and the store manager was standing there, knows me, said hello, and told me that red tags on stuff meant 1/2 price!
I pointed to a 6.5 that was marked $80.00 and asked if that tag was a red tag? He said yes! Wow, $40 clones, couls this ever get better??
I grabbed all 4 remaining, put them in a cart and went to the register inside the store. When it was my turn, I said to the kid that I had 4 marked $80 on red tags so they are 1/2 price! He said yes and rung up 4 X $30.00 plus sales tax, $129.44. I paid and left and am enjoying my $32.50 motors!
So I guess all that stuff on the news about terrible math scores among American high schoolers is true!!
Please don't write and tell me I should have said something; I thought about it but he was surrounded by his buddies who work there and would not have liked to be embarrassed, I think!:laugh:
