The Great Price Tagging War Part 2: The Not So Great Conclusion

Were this price tagging gun war an actual gun battle, Edgar’s Pharmacy would have been a blood bath. Bystanders and cans of soup were all properly filed and priced. As the dust settled it became clear that there would be no clear victor in this battle. Instead I was now forced to share my turf. If you are the kind of guy who enjoys pricing things on shelves you get a little itchy at the idea of having to share your terrain and this new guy was really getting in my craw. The pharmacy was  not going to need another pricing label for at least another two weeks while old man Edgar sold down the already priced items.

As the days went on, every stop on my usual price tagging gun route was being haunted by this new guy. Eventually I snapped. “Why are you hogging all my turf?!” He seemed shocked at first, and then resigned. It seemed he had been looking for a town to work his price tagging gun magic for months and he’d been chased out of everyone by a guy just like me. Before I could respond he slowly walked out of the store and out of my life. I had won in the least eventful way possible.
