The more I read about EA, the happier I am that I swore them off years ago after a bad experience with them and push back on TBN. I'd like to say "Look Who's Laughing Now", but I feel sorry for those members caught in a pinch.
The mismatched pricing is everywhere. Must be easy for some hq’s staff to change the register prices and forget to let the store know to change the sticker/tags.We've shifted grocery shopping from the mega-stores to Meijer's and I can't recall a too-short expiration date on canned goods or a mismatched price from store shelf to checkout. Have to watch that too at the big stores.
Our Local Kent building supplies, Canadian Tire and Supestore grocery store now have electronic price tags on the merchandise shelves. It makes it a lot faster to change prices so they can make more profit faster.Must be easy for some hq’s staff to change the register prices and forget to let the store know to change the sticker/tags.
Mom and pop stores are quickly being erased.Our Local Kent building supplies, Canadian Tire and Supestore grocery store now have electronic price tags on the merchandise shelves. It makes it a lot faster to change prices so they can make more profit faster.
It'll also get rid of a few jobs as well I would presume. Once all the chain stores are tied in together, one person can change the prices of all the stores with one press of the keyboard.
In Massachusetts that's the law. The tag price trumps the shelf label that trumps the price stored by barcode in the register. The "free" is a good-will gesture by the merchant; kudos to "Big Y" and "Whole Paycheck" the two grocers closest to me.Many stores have a policy that if the price on shelf and price rung is different it is free, or gets lower price. I am a very conscientious shopper, and compare things like price per lb etc when I shop. I bought an expensive item, on sale, that rung up wrong. All I wanted was the correct price, even argued that I want to pay. The grocery store wasn't having any part of it, and the item was free. (this was 6-7 years ago) That was a policy above and beyond... Big Y, based out of Massachusetts. Gotta give them props.
