I went into Wal-mart yesterday in Michigan. I purchased two sets of different items. One of each of the items rang up wrong. When I returned to the courtesy desk, she refunded my $1.98. As I stood there, I asked if this has anything to do with the Michigan Scanning Law. She almost growled at me and said “yeah”. For some reason she needed to see my ID, which I had already taken out to the car.
As she did the paperwork I went to get my ID. She then gave me $5.00. I said I don’t get it for the two different items. She said no you only get one $5.00 per receipt. I work in retail, I went to work today and asked if that was true. They of course said no, you get it for each different item.
Please let me know who is right.
Thank you,
Patty

As for your other issue. According to Section 445.360a(2) you have cause to bring legal action against Wal-mart. The choice is yours, you may either return to the store with your receipt (within 30-days) or bring a legal case against Walmart for violating Michigan Law, which states:
