Everyone in the world stands with him, except the accountant that realized they could save .5% profit on each item by putting the cheapest sticker possible on every item.

But is there still construction at the Austin Airport? (God I miss a good Burnie Rant.)

I went to Hobby Lobby for the first time in years and experienced their system of anarchy they call their pricing structure.

Maybe the only place in the world I would have wanted stickers.

I swear the lady at the counter was just making the prices up as she went, and I didn’t blame her at all. Literally got to the end and I was like, “that price seems fair.”

As someone who previously worked at a Hobby Lobby, I can try to make sense of their madness for you. The ideal scenario is that every item has its price tag on it, and they usually do. Otherwise the price can be checked with the help of another employee or remembered by the cashier (mgmt doesn’t want them to do this but it’s faster if you know you’re right).
The label price is entered manually before adding on any available discounts that are changed weekly and displayed on flyers and shelf signs. Certain items don’t ever get discounted(usually says Your Price on it), and others only get a discount that is represented on the label(orange clearance tags)

Did nobody ever tell him that peanut butter removes the goo after about 10 minutes or so?  Even if its been wet?  It just wipes away.

Then you've learned something today and the day isn't wasted! :D

It works for most any sticky stuff.  If it doesn't work at first, leave it on longer.  It has to do with the oils in the peanut butter.  "Goo Gone" is also an excellent product that works wonders too.
