"FAILED THIRD INSPECTION"

Quote :

"The state fined six Wake County stores more than $12,000 after inspectors found too many discrepancies between their advertised prices and the prices that rung up at the register. Three of the six stores had paid previous fines for price-scanning errors. The retailers were notified after random price-scanner inspections found an error rate of 2 percent or higher. They were fined after failing follow-up inspections. Inspectors with the the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Standards division regularly test retailers’ scanning systems to make sure shoppers aren’t being gouged. The six stores fined were: • Compare Foods at 2215 New Hope Church Road in Raleigh, which paid $450 and had an error rate of 4 percent in its first inspection and 2.67 percent in its second. Since the time the inspections were completed, that store has become an International Foods location. • Rite Aid at 1910 Falls Valley Road in Raleigh, which paid $1,290 after having a 5 percent error rate in its first inspection and a 4 percent error rate in its second. • Staples at 2950 Millbrook Road in Raleigh, which paid $750 after having a 12 percent error rate in its first inspection and a 3 percent error rate in its second. • Kmart at 4500 Western Blvd. in Raleigh, which paid $2,855 after failing a third inspection, in which it had a 10.33 percent error rate. The store paid a $2,595 fine in December. • Staples at 11825 Retail Drive in Wake Forest, which paid $3,115 after failing a third inspection with an error rate of 8.33 percent. The store had already paid a $1,500 penalty for the first two failed inspections. • Kmart at 6200 Capital Blvd. in Raleigh, which paid $4,155 after inspectors found an error rate of 12 percent in that store’s fifth inspection. The store had already been assessed $7,935 in fines for the previously failed inspections. The money collected by the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Standards division goes to the state’s school systems. ""

THis guy must know some people to keep getting a job

5/16/2008 10:00:38 AM

compared to what it may cost to fix the fine, he may have elected to pay the measily fine.

they need to destroy that entire shopping center where that kmart is and put something like what they have at brier creek or north hills in its place...we need better shopping options around NCSU other that some insanely run down kmart with 1,500 parking spaces

5/16/2008 10:30:21 AM

Lol, yeah. what the fuck is up with that parking lot? I can take my bike there and use it as an MSF course...or 3 courses actually. and i could do it at peak hours since no one ever shops at Krapmart.

5/16/2008 10:37:07 AM

What's especially bad about that Kmart is that they used to let Wolfliners park there and then they told us to fuck off because we were taking up customer parking spaces.

What customers?

5/16/2008 10:45:00 AM

don't they still have that "park and ride" thing?

But yeah, tear that place down.

5/16/2008 11:13:12 AM

Maybe enough people bitched to bring the park and ride back. I know for the last two years or so I was at State they had to move it to that small parking lot between Kmart and the $1.50 theater.

Ironically when I did park at that lot Junior year, once I got out of class and I had some time to kill, I went inside K-Mart and did a little shopping. Senior year parking at the football stadium I didn't go to the Kmart anymore. So wolfline riders could be potential customers. I mean duh...........

hey look a government agency designed to collect fees but never really make sure the problem gets fixed.

fucking aids government

5/16/2008 1:30:57 PM

I mean, that's funny and all, but two bullets down the Capital Blvd. K-Mart has failed five inspections with an even higher error rate.

With that said, I stopped going to that K-Mart to look for Transformers [hold for laughs] because everything marked as 9.99 would ring up for 14.99 and 14.99 for 19.99 and they refused to change it at the register.

5/16/2008 2:23:25 PM

Well if the problem got fixed then they stream of fines would end.

I wonder what Kmart could do to mismanage their stores anymore than they already do.
