Shaw's: scanner prices sometimes differing from shelf price

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

Happened to shop at Shaw's this afternoon and happened to be paying attention - 2 out of the 12 items I bought scanned at a different (higher) price than what was on the shelf. Customer service resolved it (though I bought 2 of one of the wrongly scanned items and I thought I should have had them both for free - but apparently Shaw's policy is the first for free - the other/rest at the correct price. Seems like a kind of "the house always wins" type rule - considering that other shoppers probably bought the same stuff and didn't track the difference).

Anyway - no big deal but the same ol' caveat emptor, pay attention, use your turn signals, don't wash lights and darks...

Oh - and don't "remove items from the bagging area" even if you didn't... or the robo cashier will yell at you.

"Buy one, get one free" discounts don't appear until you tell the register you're done.

I get overcharged for something about half of the trips I make to Shaw's. If they're going to mess with their prices every week to play gouge-and-loss-leader games, they need to make the effort to keep the computer in sync with the shelf stickers.

It's because of this stuff that I shop at Market Basket or Trader Joe's when I can. If only they were open later...
