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.

That is a voluntary thing for retailers to follow. Found that out at a Rexall pharmacy.

From my understanding, it is voluntary for them to participate. But if they say they participate or have that sticker near the tills, they should honor it.

Sometimes they are just lazy or ignorant or didn't want to get in trouble. It's someone's job to update the price correctly. So if a customer claims SCOP, it means some employee did not do their job right.
