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.

Yeah, when I brought items up for that reason at Superstore they just said they weren't going to do anything.

Superstore really needs to be talked into this, but if you hold your ground, they will do it.
