It's Policy? Really?

[fallenthropy]

I'm a bit anal when it comes to paying for my groceries.  I watch prices and codes to make sure I'm not being charged for shiitake when I get crimini and all that jazz.  (it's happened and I caught it right away.  Shiitake smell bad and I don't eat them - I used to package them at the produce market many moons ago

That's a crazy policy, but I didn't complain when I got a free two-pound block of cheese down in the states.

It's called the "Scanning Code of Practice"

"The Scanning Code of Practice is a voluntary code that most major retailers in Canada follow, it promises accurate prices at the checkout scanner. The policy says "If the scanned price of a non-price ticketed item is higher than the shelf price or any other displayed price, the customer is entitled to receive the item free, up to a $10 maximum. When the item has a price tagged, the lowest price applies. When identical items are incorrectly priced, the second one will be sold at the correct price." So, if the item scans in at the wrong price at a participating retailer, you will get it for free or $10 off if the item is more than $10. You may have to ask for the retailer for this but if they are a participant they will have to give you the item for free or $10, no questions asked after you have pointed out the error and mentioned this code."
