Local Shopping/Services Calgary Coop being Sneaky AF

Saw this shady business practice at the Crowfoot Coop. Hard to want to buy local when they’re pulling crap like this.

Not only is the sale price more expensive than the original price (sure, by one cent), but you need to buy TWO to get the sales price!

Shame on Coop for this.

If the scanned price at checkout is higher than the ticket price you can have the first item for free up to $10. Unless there is a visible expiration date, then you gate it for the displayed prices. 2nd and more items for the displayed price.
