On a recent visit to Meijer I purchased a bag of potato chips, the price was not marked on the bag of chips, but on the shelving unit below. The price marked on the sticker was $2.50. However, when I checked out, the chips rang up at $2.99. I am in the habit of checking [...]

I was at Home Depot in Plymouth, MI this past Saturday night shopping for flooring. While shopping I found 7 cartons of laminate flooring all marked with green stickers for $3.77. I have shopped at Home Depot for years and have always known green stickers to be clearance/closeout items. Not thinking much of it I [...]

Dear Retail Bandit, I went into Meijer’s last night and on the clearance shelf they had multiple items that were mark on the scan tab as reduced $0.00. I then read the big sign that said “Item will scan at clearance price.” I picked up a few items and proceeded to check it out on [...]

Just last night, I was shopping at Target in Shelby township, MI and I purchased a 2-pack of hooded baby towels with washcloths. When I went up to the check out, they rang up $10.99 but the tag on the shelf said $4.99. The cashier said that I would need to go to the Customer [...]

I was shopping at Krogers and bought 3 packages of watermelon each individually marked and they all rang up wrong. They said I could only get the scanning law on one of the items not all 3 is this correct? Thank you, Theresa

Michigan Store clerk refunded entire purchase price, instead of bounty… I recently purchased a craft item that was ticketed at $3.99. After leaving the store on my way to my car, I noticed that the sales receipt showed I was charged $4.99. So, I went back into the craft store and requested my refunded difference [...]

Customer service with a smile used to be easy. Today it’s hard to tell who has it rougher, customers who are being ripped off or customer service workers who are being scammed on a daily basis. One can hardly blame some courtesy desk workers for being fed up. Here is one courtesy desk clerks story… [...]

I recently purchased a pack of VHS tapes from Target. The sale price posted on their shelf read $9.00. I was charged $10.49 at the register and noticed when I got to the car. I returned to the store and showed the customer service girl. She verified with their electronics department that there was indeed [...]

Last week I went to a Meijer’s on Pierson Road in Flint, MI and as I went to pay for my groceries with rolled quarters (5 rolls to be exact, they had my name, address, and phone number on each one) the cashier informed me that Meijer’s does not except rolled coins and that I [...]

Annette: I have been impressed reading info on your site but am also confused about the MI Bounty Scanning Law. I live in MI and recently stocked up on kid’s clothes that were on clearance at Kohl’s. The pants were marked $16.00 as the original price and had a $6.00 clearance sticker on them. A [...]

I was shopping at store #22 in Portage, MI, when I went to get some frozen items from the freezers there I found that the freezers were warm not cold. An employee stated to me that the freezers went down the day before and they had no idea when they would be operating again. This [...]

This weekend I was overcharged at two different Meijers at two separate times. On Thursday, I went to a Meijers in Grand Rapids, MI. I bought some Margarita mix. The price tag was marked $15.88. When I got home, I checked the receipt and the item had rung up for $17.95. I called the store [...]

Dear Annette, I am not aware of any law regarding this particular incident, but maybe you know of this practice. In my opinion, JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores is notorious for not honoring advertised prices, mismarking merchandise, and posting confusing signs. Every time I am shopping at JoAnn’s, the line is long, as someone is [...]

I have been reading your site as I reside in Grand Rapids Michigan and had a problem at 4 a.m. in the Grandville Meijer. I purchased a set of pajamas which were advertised in their ad and on a sign at 40% off. I noticed as soon as I got my receipt that I was [...]
