Well I just talked with my buddy in law school about the offer, acceptance, consideration shit and he told me that legally, Wal-Mart doesn't have to sell you items at the advertised price. He told me that it isn't actually offer until you get to the counter and begin making the transaction with a person. So as much as it sucks, I have to admit I was wrong about this one. You could have leveraged what vox_rox said against them if you had known about the fines during the incident, too bad. Bastards.
Not to hi-jack your thread, but I have a similar account that ended well for me. Basically, I was in a Finish Line and noticed a really nice pair of jeans marked $10. What the fuck you gonna do? Pick 'em up, pick 'em up. So, as I was checking out, the cashier/manager told me that my total was $58. I was like "naw, these are $10, check the tag cuz." He got a little pissy and tried to wiggle out by explaining how they'd been mis-marked, yada yada, but I held firm and got some kick ass jeans for $10. Too bad your Wal-Mart drama didn't end like my Finish Line story.
