I went into the TSC in Hemet today and bought some assorted sizes of three quarter inch bolts, nuts and lock washers.
The surprise was when I was at the checkout counter. I started to tell the girl what all I had and she said "it doesn't matter".
She just placed all of it on the scale and it was $2.49 per pound.
As a former inventory control person, I just had to wonder, how do they keep track of inventory that way? They don't know what exactly went out the door. It could have been "X" pounds of two inch bolts or six inch bolts.
Another strange thing was that on my receipt it listed 2.49 pounds at $2.49 per pound which came to $6.20.
What are the chances of the price per pound and the pounds of merchandise matching like that?
