Many of the stores like Superstore, Wal-Mart, Zellers, Shopper's Drug Mart, etc. participate in the Scanning Code of Practice (SCOP), where if an item rings up at a higher price than what it says on the shelf or elsewhere, then they are obligated to give you the lowest stated price. SCOP is a voluntary program that stores can adhere to, but it is not the law.

6 mills all stored in a tax free savings account makes quite a good lumpsum for your spending.
So now you can work as a "hobby" instead rofl

did the bank give them 6 mill into their acount?, or give them a 6 million overdraft limit??...
if the 2nd, they did nothing illegal, but are going to have a huge interest bill when they are found and have to pay the "loan" back.

One of the employees accidentally deposited $250,000 in my account one day and immediately I got a call telling me they made a mistake. It was for someone else. My 5 seconds of joy right there.

[edit] i believe some places like shoppers n stuff follow it to a Tee where items under 5? 10? something that the price error results in the item being free of charge by way of an immediate rebate

I've been told countless times, whatever they have label, they have to sell it to you at the price. They can change it right after though.

But it's been my experience that they usually err on the HIGHER side of things, or they didnt have it in my size.

If the store won't sell it to you at a lower price what are you going to do call the cops?

| That is part of the Scanning Code of Practice.
For those that participate in SCOP, if the item is $10 or less, you are entitled to receive the item free. If the item is over $10, you are entitled to receive $10 off the purchase price.

| There must be more to this. There is no way it can be that cut and dry. So anytime there is a price mistake, they have to abide by it? There's no possible way.
If going by those clauses to the very word, nowhere does it say they have to sell it to you at the lower price. It just says they can't sell it to you at the higher price. But that means they reserve the right to not sell it to you at all.
If that is the case, then after they have removed any incorrect signs showing the lower price, then they can sell it to you at the higher price, and they would not be in violation of section 54.
I dunno... that's how I see it.
