“a more responsible approach might be to bring the violations to the store managers attention”

Ah, but if I do that they’ll stop paying me to take chicken pies!

Actually, this is a very strange case. These chicken pies are stocked in two different locations in the store. In one location, they’re marked $3.99 on the shelf, and the stickers also say $3.99. In the other location, the stickers and shelf price both say $3.49.

It occurred to me that perhaps there was some subtle difference between the two — maybe one was low-sodium, or low-fat, or different in some other way. But I compared the barcodes on the items and shelf price tags, and they all match.

I’ll go back today and get another one. I suspect that if I keep doing this every day, eventually they’ll figure it out!

Thanks again.

The intent of the law is to encourage your grocer to correct scanner errors, so that customers are not getting ripped off. It doesn’t sound like the Meijer store in Southfield understands that.

The law does not stipulate the number of times or how often a customer can claim the bounty. It does limit the number of items that can be claimed in any one purchase.

While you can return to the store and make numerous scanner claims against the store a more responsible approach might be to bring the violations to the store managers attention, so that the error(s) can be fixed. Apparently, someone is falling down on the job in Southfield, Michigan.

Thanks for your questions.
