The cashier is supposed to offer it to you for free.Cyber0066 wrote:I tried the SCOP for the first time at Sobeys without success. I bought a box of compliments ribs that was advertised as $9.99. It scanned as $11.99. I told the cashier that it should be $9.99 and she checked it and gave it to me for that price. Then I said "Shouldn't I get it for free?" She replied that it only applies AFTER I had purchased the item.
Just wanted confirmation on this? Does this practice only apply after the item has been purchased or should it have been given to me on the spot? If so, is there anything I can do about it now? Because on the receipt, it says $9.99 now so I don't know if it would work if I called the manager of the store to complain.
To be honest, what's going on right now is the head offices of all these chains are really pushing stores to enforce this policy 100%, as the chains do NOT want to have to price every single item in the store manually, for obvious reasons. However, not all the stores within the chain are complaining due to the cost, which if you look at the big picture is kinda silly.
