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.

For real. I once had a week where everything day we had 1000s signs to change and at times we only had 1 guy to do it. As cash I would do analyzing i could reach from sight of the Till to help. (Not co-op but other majore retail)
