Scanning Code Of Practice

[bargain_hunter_lola]

In the first post there is a link that lists participating retailers.

Who participates in the SCOP?
Nearly every major retailer in Canada participates in voluntary Scanning Code.

If the store I am in does not have the sign do they participate in the SCOP?
Although all participating retailers are suppose to display the Scanning Code of Practice sign as shown above, not all do. See the link above for a full list of participating stores and chains.

Oops - thanks!

I've had a SCOP done at Food Basics and I see it's not listed....

I ended up getting a $40.00 digital ear thermometer which was sale priced at $20.00 but scanned wrong. Got the item for $10.00. Once customer service clerk told me the $10 only comes off the regular price. I insisted on speaking to the manager, and he told me the clerk was wrong and the $10 comes off the sales price. I find store personel will sometimes read the code in their favour, but if you are not satisfied, speak to the manager or call the complaint line.

I did my first SCOP at Rexall yesterday. I bought a few Revlon lipglosses on Friday that were all 30% off but i didn't notice until i got home that i was charged full price for one. So i went back yesterday to show them and then asked "Don't i get it free since its under $10 and it scanned wrong?" so the cashier refunded me back on my debit and i go the lipgloss for free! Whats more shocking to me is that i failed to catch it when it was scanned as i was watching the prices of my other items!

I SCOPed 4L milk yesterday at Shoppers and I can see the price of everything come on the screen but never see the milk price just catch sight of the deposit.

Thank you so much! I just posted a question surrounding this exact thing about Zellers. I did not know it was voluntary. When the CS rep told me "Zellers chooses not to participate" it sounded really silly to me. I still don't like it, but i get it now at least lol.

That is actually pretty stupid sorry (not you,lol) An item on sale for $20 that scans at $40 and they want to give you $10 off $40, makes it higher than the sale price. Well if thats the way the cashier thinks it works just give the sale price than, geez,lol.

Today was my first opportunity to take advantage of the scanning code of practice. I was in superstore today and the potatoes I bought rang in at 3.99 the price above the skid was 3.49. When I asked the cashier about it she called produce for a price check and could not get a straight answer so she said "I'll just give it to you for the lower price." I do know that I was not mistaken about the price so I told her to scop it. She got very angry with me and basically told me she was doing me a favor as she "knows" that these potatoes could not be 3.49 (PEI white potatoes 10lbs). There was a line forming behind me but she called her manager over and basically said that I'm insisting on a free bag of potatoes. They gave it to me and I had never really argued just told the cashier it should be free but she makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. When I used to be a cashier, the customer never had to ask me. They would tell me the item scanned wrong and I would give them the free product.

I did this today on a $1 item at walmart hahaha almost seems not worth my time, but it came up at $3, and was clearly marked $1. A penny saved is a penny earned, right? haha

Yes! LOL

Marked as in on the product or shelf price? if price is ON the item in any way (yellow tag or how clothes usually are... a hangy tag with the price, SCOP don't count.
