Katie, I recommend you come back in your next video and clarify what you mean by scam. Scamming someone denotes dishonesty, lies, putting something over on someone to take advantage. Using the word scam is serious. I understand that those items with the lower price are the older items but I am not sure. Did you ask someone there to find out why there is a difference in price? Did you call the head office? You should find out the reason first before defaming a brand name like Hobby Lobby. It is one thing to tell people to check the prices but to imply that something else sneaky is going on, is another. Please get back to us once you have more info. Thank you!!

Last year we had a Hobby Lobby open in my suburb. I was so excited! My first visit, I went up and down every aisle, amazed at the variety of items they carried. I really didn’t need anything, but I picked up a bunch of stuff that I thought was on sale or clearance. When I got home, I compared the receipt to the items I bought and found some items that I thought were on sale but was charged the full price. A few of those were way overpriced and I would never had bought them at full price. So back to the store I went. It was very easy to return the items, they just ask if there’s anything wrong with the item. I told the cashier I thought the signs said they were on sale and he told me I was mistaken, only some were on sale. While I was there, another customer was complaining to the cashier that the items she was buying were on sale and they were ringing up full price. Her cashier told her she was mistaken. That customer actually went and retrieved the sale sign and showed the cashier and the cashier told her her chosen items were NEXT TO the sale items, but they were NOT on sale. She had the cashier remove the full priced items and only purchased the ones that were ringing up on sale, all the while complaining that these items were all together on the same shelf and they were trying to fool customers into buying the full priced items. That’s exactly how I felt as well. I haven’t been back since and as pissed as that other customer was when she left, I doubt she ever set foot back in that store either. I know a lot of people don’t pay attention to how things are ringing up and they lose their receipts in the car on the way home, and have no idea they paid $29 for one item and $49 for the exact same item, so Hobby Lobby gets away with that. Certainly not good customer service.

Yea they do that!! They have stands where they mix table top decor with wall decor and such and they have a huge sign saying 50%off in the very bottom they have tiny letters explaining which one is on sale but many people think the entire stand is on sale so yes to me that’s a scam! Many people don’t pay attention and pay full price for something they thought was in sale.

Sometimes their not the same price is according to when the merchandise comes in. Probably the high price is probably the new ones where they go up on the price and the lower was probably the older one that has been there a while. It happened to me in a clothing store, I asked for the manager a that's what he explained to me. It's not just Hobby Lobby beware everywhere you shop. Always check your recept. If it's not right take it back to the store and they will fix it, it doesn't take but a few minutes.

@ktg8670 Месяц назад
I previously worked as an Assistant Buyer for a couple of major retailers. This situation is a major red flag that the store managers, district managers, corporate retail buyers, and sales analysts aren't properly communicating with each other. Either they should have reticketed the lower priced items to match the higher priced items...or they should have scheduled the higher priced merchandise to arrive in-store after the lower priced items sold out. The only time it is appropriate for the exact same items to be at 2 different prices at the same time is when something is damaged, yet still sellable, or when the item is perishable and near expiration date...so the older items still on the selling floor would be marked down 50% -75% off regular price.

I have seen this too. I always check and if I want two I ask them go with the lower price for both and they will. I don't think it's a scam, I think the one in front came in earlier at a less expensive price point, and the one in back came in later at a higher price point. Instead of marking the one in front up, they leave it at the cheaper price. The higher price point will be what it will be after the cheaper ones are out of stock.
@abbiedickerson2074
@abbiedickerson2074 Месяц назад
Good point! I also feel like it could be since they hand mark everything, it is a good way to mark things down as they’ve sat on the shelf a while. By the time the front items have sold at a higher price, it’s time to get the back items out to make room for new items. The lower price helps them to do that without looking at each individual item in the store and marking random things down daily. I don’t work at Hobby Lobby or anything but this is my guess! Seems like less of a scam and more of a business strategy to me

I agree with you. I do not believe Hobby Lobby is scamming me whatsoever. It is owned by a very Christian family (that’s why they don’t open on Sunday). And that’s why Christian music plays in their store instead of rock. I’ve seen this same thing at places like Ross’s. The first comes in at one price and the next one comes in two weeks at a different price. Ross’s prices depend on how long it has been in the store. Saying this is a scam is a little detrimental. Yes, I will continue to give my business to a business who puts their belief in God a priority over profit.

I actually work at hobby lobby. Currently we have a ton of items that the prices are dropping. I know, as I’ve spent DAYS marking down products. All identical products are supposed to be marked the same. Each week we get a list of price changes that we are supposed to take care of. However sometimes we are so busy we just aren’t able to get to them all. Sometimes items are returned after price changes have been done & it isn’t noticed that the returned item is a different price when it’s put back on the shelf. Any cashier who sees identical items, with the same item number, at different prices should be ringing them up at the lower price. And as far as the sales signs go, people need to read the signs. It clearly explains which items, which category, is on sale & which is not. Hobby Lobby is not trying to scam anyone. It’s a sore run by people. And every single item gets keyed in, not scanned. We even offer price adjustments if an item you purchase goes on sale within 10 days of your purchase.

As a Christian, I can tell you that not everyone who claims to be a follower of Jesus actually is. I’m not saying the owners aren’t Christian, but just throwing that out there. I will say that I was disappointed in my local HL in their Easter decor. Easter is the day we celebrate Jesus (the perfect lamb) taking on all our sins and shame and then defeating Satan and rising from the dead. I have nothing against bunnies and put a few around the house at Easter time, but I was disappointed to see that my HL looked like every other store in my area. They had a couple of Christian items (that weren’t appealing to me), but mostly Easter was about the bunny. 😮

It's 2024 and the fact that cashiers have to enter a manual code to ring up the products is now making sense, so I don't subscribe to the notion that they're just raising prices like everyone else. As a Christian, I never had a problem with HL's business practices, but this is exactly the kind of thing that lends credence to the nonbeliever's skepticism. High-profile Christians are constantly putting their hypocrisy on display by criticizing the sins of others while ignoring their own. Matthew 7:3-5

2:41...check the measurements. That one isn't fair to present in this convo. One is (S) for small and the other is (M) for Medium. Inventory is getting restocked with the "NEW" increased price. The store didn't sell out of the old stock at the lower price. When you take it to the register they will honor the lower for you when you buy more than one. If you get a lower price at another store bring your receipt they will match the other store price. THEY ARE NOT SCAMMING YOU. It is unfortunate but EVERYTHING the costs are increasing. PS. If they stuck a sticker over the lower price with the new increased price...you wouldn't be happy then either would you?

@@janetta5827 So true! I find it funny no one is protesting at the fuel pumps. The fuel you pump today, priced at todays price was bought at last months price. OFTEN much lower.

I love Hobby Lobby so the heads up about the price tag differences is good to know. That being said, it’s NOT a scam or fraud like many are trying to purport. It’s totally legit. Each tag is marked clearly. Buy or don’t buy the item(s). Personally I would much rather find the good deals, rather then they come through with a sticker gun and mark all the items to the newer higher price. It is ridiculous to complain about this practice. I live the fact that they don’t. People should be grateful to find deals when and where they can. Things everywhere are getting so expensive. Have you been to a thrift store lately? Salvation Army and Good Will, etc. are pricing like they are department stores for many items.

Obviously a price increase and Hobby Lobby didn’t want to have the cost of labor to reprice the older stock. Also possibly the older stock cost less up front and new prices are a reflection of the economy. Either way I’m not a fan of Hobby Lobby. Their business practices and lack of customer service and customer appreciation has long ago sent me elsewhere to shop. I much prefer Home Goods, TJ Maxx and Marshall’s. I’m very excited that a Home Sense is opening soon in my area.

It's not a scam, but inflation and a realistic look at how the same product increases in price each year. I have been a retail store manager for 22 years and my company sells the same goods year over year...but each year that same item increases in price. Hobby Lobby's flaw is that their items have the retail price marked on the tag, which is why you find those differences in price. Most companies have a "price policy," which means they (we) have to honor the price marked, regardless of the actual current retail. Always fun to find the same item with the cheaper $, that's for sure!

The cashier seemed as confused as I was but she did charge 3.99 for each. The same thing happened with floral garland. there was a huge price difference on exactly the same items. Both incidents were in the last 6 months. This must be something new because I've never noticed anything like this at Hobby Lobby before and I've been shopping there for years.

I get people being annoyed but I would imagine if they put a sticker over the lower price with the current higher price and if people become aware then people would be ticked, damned if you do…

My thoughts on the "price differences" is...... the more expensive is the newly stocked product/pricing & what we will be paying in the coming months with The Useless Resident in Office. Everything is out of control everywhere, not just Hobby. Each week my standard items I usually purchase increases - some by a LOT. Unreal! Thanks for showing this live. Love the channel & now a New Subscriber.

This happened to me at tj max. Same item, diff prices. Cashier said it depends on date item came to store and vendor it came from. Not sure what’s going on at hobby lobby unless they aren’t updating old prices. But maybe that’s good, so we can compare prices. Thanks for showing us!

WOW! First thing; thank you for sharing this information with all of us Katie! I just became a customer of Hobby Lobby a few months ago. I cannot believe the price differences! I can understand it may be due to price increases on items in the store, but 100% markup is just an OUTRAGE!!! Yes, I still have a budget to follow, even in this store!!! I will more than likely stop shopping here! It is so awful how the "Big Boys" in the office demand these price increases! The more popular items will be the ones go up 100% because they know the public wants these specific finds! Hobby Lobby may lose a lot of business over this! SAD!

I watch all of your videos, so not being rude by no means.. I do think it might be an honest mistake. My opinion is that they are getting different priced items now, due to the inflation like you mentioned at the end of the

I did a video showing a Hobby Lobby haul , and was shocked when I was going through the seed beads to find four different prices. They ranged from $2.99 up to $4.49 a tube. I got as many of the $2.99 tubes as I could in the colors I use and then picked up the other ones I needed in the higher prices. When I got up to the front I made sure that I put them in the categories so that I wouldn’t get charged the highest price for all of them but they didn’t give me a deal I paid what was on each tube, not the lowest price for all of them. Since I did that video I’ve seen other people talking about this on RU-vid, so I was really interested to watch your video as well! I had no idea it was so widespread! I hope people are paying attention to prices when they’re picking things up because if can make a huge difference !!

I knew someone who worked there for a little bit. Some of these are huge differences, but what they said happens is that since hobby lobby doesn’t have barcodes, the inflated price is printed on the label and the before inflation price is still on the shelf. When they worked there, they would honor the before inflated tagged item, but would have to honor the inflated tag too.

I gave you a thumbs down since you threw Hobby Lobby under the bus. When new shipments come in and the items cost more in the next shipment, Hobby Lobby has 2 choices: 1. Raise the prices of the items on the floor to match the new incoming prices of the same items. Which by the way is what most stores do to you 2. Let people still buy the items that have come in at the lower price. Hobby Lobby like all stores have the option of what to do. They chose to save their customers money and you labeled them as a scam. Shame on you. Why didn’t you find a store manager and ask them why. This is how great stores get a bad name. People putting junk on RU-vid without getting the facts. I think you owe Hobby Lobby an apology.😢

I haven’t seen it myself, but somebody else that I follow on. RU-vid discovered it when she was buying florals that some came up one price and then it picked out another one and it was like double the price. Same item. So she was telling everybody to make sure you check all the prices.she lives in Colorado just by the way

Hobby Lobby is NOT scamming anyone. In my experience, they are honorable and fair. However, like all retailers, over the past couple years they have experienced cost of goods inflation and it's been necessary to increase prices. Consequently, the same item might have two prices if there is old stock and new stock on the shelf. Also, Hobby Lobby does not price the goods at the store level. The supplier to Hobby Lobby puts the price label on the goods directly. Bottom line: NO scam. But buy the lower priced items if you can! 🙂

I used to work at Hobby Lobby and they are not trying to scam people. The lower prices are older items left in stock and the higher prices are the newer items that they restock. If you don't like the prices then just wait for the sale or just don't shop there... no need to be awful and mean about it, the prices at Hobby Lobby are very reasonable if you shop on the sale days. 😉

Of course prices change over the years just like all stores but they can reticket items. To have multiple items on the floor all at different prices seems very scammy

You called it a scam, that alone is not cool. You could have just said to be aware and watch the prices...if there is another identical item on the shelf then choose the lower priced item... That simple.

Crazy, but true. All these stores, pay Pennies to the dollar on inventory and any way you look at we get short end of stick thinking we got a deal with “sale” price. Sad, but true.

You should clarify this by making a new video called Hobby Lobby is NOT scamming people. This title isn't fair, because they are definitely not scamming. They're allowing their customers to still get the lower price from older merchandise.

Have never seen this ever at Hobby Lobby. We were there multiple times during fall '23, for the 50%-75% off sales and got some amazing deals and grest customer service when returning or exchanging.
