MONTPELLIER, FRANCE — French supermarket Géant Casino accidentally advertised TVs that cost over $440 for only $35. <br />According to the BBC, this caused a whole bunch of shoppers to rush over and grab a TV, or two—or five. <br />The Beebs says the mix-up occurred because the televisions were tagged at 30.99 euros instead of 399 euros. <br />Unfortunately for shoppers, the store refused to sell the TVs at the bargain basement price, but the people weren't having it. <br />The customers then blocked the checkout area demanding that they be allowed their flatscreens. <br />So Géant did the reasonable thing and called the police. BBC reports that dozens of police officers had to be sent to help clear the store out. <br />Images and video posted to social media show angry customers with a mountain load of TVs refusing to leave the store empty handed. <br />The police were finally successful in getting everyone out, although it did take over an hour after the store's closing time. <br />The BBC reports that French retailers are required to sell items at the listed price under the consumer code, however exceptions are allowed for obvious mistakes.
