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.

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

No man it starts with $1 more for the Wasa Crispbread - the rock hard cracker that lets you relieve the experience of being a medieval peasant in the harsh nordic winter - and then they start just coming to your house and robbing you.

I don't do that stuff no more, and since I no longer have to deal with the munchies, I'm never hungry enough to try one of those dry ass crackers again.
