sometimes big stores just want to see what they get away with. for every person like me who noticed it, 10 didn't. they made their profit. you have no clue if it was accidental or not, what, are you a store manager or something?
and again, a massive store like S&S has much more buying power than the local gas station. so why do they charge so much more for bread, eggs, and milk. all stuff I refuse to buy from S&S because I can get it cheaper from the gas station.

I am not a store manager. I certainly don't have a clue whether the price difference was accidental or not. But judging from your response to me, I am getting a deeper understanding of how the discussion between you and the CSR might have escalated in intensity in not too short of time.
Perhaps I am confused. I was under the impression that the sale you are referring to was actually a loyalty card promo.
That is, if you have the card you get the item for $9 whereas if I walk into the store and don't have the card, I pay $13. Albertson's, Ralphs, Vons, and a number of large chains I've been to have these types of cards. The price the card grants you is not a difference in price, it's not an entitlement, it's a promotion for people who shop at the store regularly and incentivizes them to pick up a card (and presumably track purchases).
But whatever the case, my ultimately opinion was in the last line of my post.
