Default Got Free Celery for paying attention

I just got back from the supermarket. Just for paying attention, I got a free bunch of celery. The shelf tag said $1.29. I went to the scale to print the price sticker and it printed out at $1.39. So I took it over to the guy at the Produce counter and pointed out the discrepancy. He walked over to the celery bin with me to confirm the problem, took out a pen, blacked out the bar code and wrote FREE and his name on the sticker. So I saved $1.29!

Moral of the story: Pay attention to prices and make sure they ring up properly.
