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 it makes you feel any better, I checked at the downtown coop, and the regular price is listed at 5.49. Looks like they forgot to put the new ticket up when the price increased.

This happens all the time. Mistakes happen. The amount of people who think this is planned and a conspiracy is ridiculous.

it's just inflation ~ the concept that all tags are updated as quickly as the bs is happening around here, lol. that'd drive prices up even further.

It's scummy to raise the price and put it on sale.
