Lately, it seems West is
quietly lowering prices on some items

I'm seeing the opposite! I always note the price on the shelf, as
often the register price is higher. I see prices going up on just
about everything. Something $8 on the shelf is $10 at the register.
$25 becomes $27, and so on. This may not be true at highest levels,
like the kind of electronics they have in their glossy ads, but for
the under $100 stuff, that is not in sales ads, is definitely
happening.

In most states, including mine, consumer preotection laws say that if
there is a price on the shelf that is lower than the price that rings
up, they have to charge the lower price,even if it is a simple error
on their part and they forgot to remove a sale price sign after a sale
is over.

That's true in South Carolina and I've called them on it several times.

You guys are supposed to be rich old *******s and not notice a few bucks
jack up at the register....
