I really don’t understand how someone could “abuse” the scanner law. It’s pretty straight-forward. Either an item was priced correctly or it wasn’t. Either the customer was overcharged or they weren’t. There isn’t much gray area there.

Personally, I wish more states had a scanner law — or at least one that was written a little clearer than Michigan’s law. It’s a shame that customers are being ripped off millions of dollars each year and state legislators don’t care enough to do anything about it.

I am curious to know where your information comes from though. Do you have inside information regarding the scanning law that our readers should know about? What is your source?

As far as upsetting me… not to worry, I’m happy you posted your comments. This site isn’t about me. It’s about consumers getting a fair shake – as in – getting what they pay for.

Thanks for your comments. I look forwarding to hearing more about the abolition of the scanner law.
