SCOP Question

[booyahchild01]

Hi,

I just had a question about SCOP. So today, I went to FS and I saw the new Kanye album *stickered* at 7.99. But when I went up the cashier, it rang up at $12.99. I thought about mentioning the SCOP but I wasn't very sure if that was the correct situation. So I politely mentioned to her that the sticker said $7.99 and she gave it to me for that price. So my question is, is this a situation where I could've mentioned the SCOP, and thus making my purchase technically "free"?

It would be nice to just get a clear understanding of the rule. Thanks

Yes. If you have mentioned it, the item would be free because it's less than $1

I am posting from mobile forums and there is no edit feature. I meant to say $10, not $1

SCOP applies to non price stickered items. So it wouldn't apply in this situation.

My guess is that the 7.99 sticker did not have the description of the item on it just a price. If this was the case then it would not apply for the SCOP.

What does that matter? Description or not, SCOP does NOT apply here.

Thanks for the clarification. So by "non-stickered" items, does that mean if the price on the shelf (like the literal shelf that the product is on) is lower than the scanned price, then the rule applies? And does it also apply if the advertised price (like in a flyer) is lower than the scanned price?

If you read the sign at the checkout it outlines the scenarios where SCOP applies and the resolutions available to you.

Crap, I just noticed when I got home, from Loblaws that my ice cream was 10 cents more than the posted price, could've got a SCOP if I noticed.

Nice one.

You can always get it next time you are in the store unless they fix the sign.

It essentially applies if the item scans wrong (ie at a higher price) unless the product has a price sticker on it with the correct price. So in both scenarios above, SCOP would apply. The idea is that if stores aren't going to individually price sticker each item, then there is a program in place to ensure the accuracy of scanning. SCOP is voluntary except in Quebec where there is a law enforcing a similar program.
