$1,600 Pasta Sauce

That’s what Jim Rittenberg got last Thanksgiving weekend. He and his wife went to Best Buy to purchase a $1,600 Sony video camcorder but instead found a jar of Classico pasta sauce (which weighed as much as the actual camcorder), a telephone cord and an eletric outlet cover inside the sealed box.
First thing the couple did was to go back to the store and have it exchanged. But since the box was sealed, the management didn’t accept it.
A strange story but I guess this reminds us to be careful and check any merchandise we buy before bringing them home. When I buy stuff, especially gadgets or electronics, I tell the sales person that I would like to see the merchandise and have the box opened in front of me.

Tsk tsk tsk. Who ever had the weird idea of playing around with the Rittenberg’s is a complete pyscho.
Still, double-check everything before leaving the store.
@jhay - it was meant to be a prank but not specifically the Rittenbergs. i guess they were just the unfortunate ones to get that particular box.
yup, never hurts to double check.
i thought things like that can only happen here in the phils…
the only way they can have their money back is to cook pasta and sell it the same price. or maybe double the price…
Talk about a ripoff. That was some scam!
@eloi - nope, it could happen anywhere. even here in the US of A.
@ash - hehe..they could do that. but i think this bottle of pasta sauce could be sold at a higher price since it’s part of a unique experience. it can be considered as a collector’s item.
@ade - yup. but the question is who did it and where was that exchange made?
