Don't you have to pay for the item 1st at the price error before asking for SCOP? Otherwise, they'll just correct it. That's how Loblaws does it anyway

Just curious, was the $9.97 tag on the game or on the shelf? And did that tag's description say the correct game?

No, that's not how Loblaws does it. The first item gets the discount, but afterwards they take the price off and so there's no more SCOP.NoCountry4RFDer wrote: ↑ Don't you have to pay for the item 1st at the price error before asking for SCOP?

Cashier scans the item, you tell them immediately the price is wrong, it should be $X, they correct it, now tell them to apply SCOP.

the $9.97 was on the shelf price but was showing $39.99 clearance to $9.97... when it was scanned it was $49.99... the girl even went to the website to show me $49.99...

It just has to scan at the wrong price at checkout for SCOP to work. From personal experience, Loblaws will follow the policy without you paying first. There's no point in making you pay just so that they can refund it 5 minutes later.NoCountry4RFDer wrote: ↑ Don't you have to pay for the item 1st at the price error before asking for SCOP?

The Loblaws near my house seems to always scan higher than the shelf price. I've gotten things like free milk, cheese, and sauces this way. It's not that I look for it, but I figure why not use the policy when I can? Think of the money they make by overcharging other people, this balances it out. =)

I figure that the if Best Buy has the policy, the girl was in the wrong and there should have been someone else to talk to. I could be wrong though, maybe Best Buy says employees don't have to follow policies? The point of the policy is to cover pricing errors, which she even pointed out to you that there was one.
If the item was listed at $10, was it supposed to be free or do people just get $10 off?

4 months ago ,I was at Walmart,I saw 3 pack kinder surprise for $1.5 ,self scanner was showing more than $3.47 ,so I bought 30 of them ,then went to the customer service,they gave me on free and charged $1.5 for the rest (each),I wasn't so satisfied though (LOL),because I bought 15 boy kinder packs and 15 girl kinder packs,they refused to give me 2 packs for free (Boys one and Girls one),their excuse different design but the same chocolate bar.

You realize that's not how SCOP works right?
OP lucked out - their only suppose to give $10 off the actual price if it was SCOP. BB just honored the price error.

Just want to make sure you know how SCOP works, the OP was supposed to get the game for free. They have to use the lower price to determine if it's free (under $10) or $10 off (over $10). It would not make sense for them to base it on the actual scanning price =]

Just wanted to make sure you know they use the "correct price".
Just wanted to make sure you know the retail council has a website with the code. https://www.retailcouncil.org/scanner-accuracy
So much false information based on previous false information from other threads.
Do you really think any retailer would voluntarily sign on if missing a 0 could possibly make a retailer lose thousands of dollars?

Thank you for bringing that to our attention. I stand corrected! I always think it's based on the lower price as that's how my experiences have been. I guess in my past experiences the lower prices were always the correct prices. Thank you again Chewfam!Chewfam wrote: ↑ Just wanted to make sure you know they use the "correct price".

from lots of previous SCOPs, I can say I've never been charged the "correct price" minus 10$.
EVERY stores just used the lower price and took off 10$. I never heard one example of a store who didn't use the lower price as the "correct price".
so yeah, thanks, you may be right about the policy, but most costumers and cashiers don't know this.
