We have a "Sunpass" for or cars. For those who don't know what it is, it's a transponder in my car that allows me to pay tolls electronically (other places, Mass-Pass, EZ-pass etc..).
All toll lanes are supposed to be equipped with Sunpass scanners.
I've noticed a few times over the past year or so that if I've gone up to a lane with a teller and a gate that my Sunpass will not work. The sign will say "invalid pass" or "no funds" and I'll have to pay cash (usually $0.25 to $0.50 more, and possibly more over the long haul drives (between Palm Beach counties and Orlando). I've also had my wife's Sunpass from time to time (when we need to swap cars) and it's happened with hers, too.
Do you find this suspicious?
Also, it seems that Best Buy is at it again.
I saw a 1 TB external drive on an on-line (from BestBuy.com) for $250 (Western Digital). I went to the store, their ads didn't show it (same date) and the packages on the shelf showed $350. I asked about it and they checked on their computers, they also showed $250.
Weren't they taken to court for this last year?
The same HDD is still on sale for $250, maybe I'll go check them out again.
*edit* (avoiding auto-merged posts) :
Best Buy's ad did show the HDD, but they were coincidently out of stock of it (less than 20 minutes after the store opened?). I didn't even see a spot for it on the shelf. BUT, they said they had this "other" one (identical specs) for $350.
Edit: Changed the title - didn't mean it was here.
