Wait a second…

What the heck is going on here?!?!

A mechanic named Dylan posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers the surprise he got when he went to a Snap-On store to buy a tool.

Dylan was shopping for a socket at the store and he couldn’t believe how much the online price read for the part.

The mechanic showed the employee the price and the worker said, What the ****? Says list price is…what the ****, man?”

Dylan said, “I like the sound of that. What kind of deal can you make me?”

“Bro, what the hell?. I’m taking a picture of this right now and sending this to my customer service and say, ‘What the **** is going on?’”

After Dylan asked the worker what the price was, the worker replied, “Well, if you were worried about yesterday’s payment, it says it’s $49,848.”

Dylan jokingly asked what the man could get the price down to and the employee joked, “I can come down to $48,000.”

This was obviously some kind of error…good grief!
