I purchased 2 Betty Crocker birthday candles at Meijer in Woodhaven, MI.

These are the numerical candles, a number 8, and, a number zero. I read the sign on the item display at $1.19 each. However, there were no price stickers attached to the candle packages. At the checkout, the candles rang up for $1.49 each. Total, with tax, came to $3.16. I paid the cashier for my purchase, not giving any thought to the fact I’d just paid more than the posted price. As I was ready to exit, looking at my receipt, I caught the overcharge.

Went to Customer Service, explained the difference in posted price and the scanned price. The gal at the counter said she will refund the difference. I asked “With the bounty?” She said she couldn’t give the bounty “because the law says, in order for you to get the bounty, each item must have a price ticket on it. The candles are not individually marked, we do not owe you any bounty.”

I disagreed, telling her this is a scanner error, and it’s not my fault they didn’t mark the individual candle packages. She offered to “show you the Michigan law, in writing.” I told her, I still disagree with her, but I don’t have time to stand there to argue it, or to read over the law.

I was given a $.64 price adjustment. Still, I think she shorted me on the adjustment, as well as shorted me on the bounty – that is rightfully mine to claim.

Please advise.

Thank you,
Linda
