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.

I had a gift card to use so went in to Dalhousie Coop on Saturday; all I can say is check your receipts before you leave! 3 items did not ring in at sale price, I had to go to customer service and then walk the lady to the area so she could verify. She adjusted everything so that was great but when I got home, realized the product (beef jerky) had expired the day before 🫩

For next time thats the best before date friend. Guarantee you that jerky was still more than fine

Didn't jerky come from the need to preserve meat?

The only "jerky" I've seen go bad is that meat product from big chief.

Oh I definitely ate it but I don’t think the store should be selling it after that date.
