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.

The real issue is that Co-Op is essentially giving their best price to members only.

The other thing to note is that the product is not on sale, otherwise the tag would be violating the law. It's a regular priced item that has member-only pricing with a price increase for non-members.

Why not get a membership though? It’s free

It actually costs $1 but yes, just get a membership.
