We wanted to purchase some diet supplements at Meijer. The price marked on the box was $5.98 but the price rang up as $30.98.
Apparently the manager went back and found that $30.98 was the sale price and that there was a sign in the area where we found the pills, but the packages were still marked incorrectly.
I asked about the scanner law and the manager said he would not authorize that big of a price difference.
A co-worker was there the same night and had the same thing happen to her with a different product.

Dear Laura,
It’s not uncommon for a store manager to not know or understand the law and it’s implications.
You can write Meijer Headquarters, using the Meijer online web-form to file a complaint against the store’s pricing policies or contact them at: (800) 543-3704.
Thanks for writing!
