I went to TARGET for the first time today. When leaving the store I noticed that the box of Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel that I just purchased had scanned incorrectly. I took my merchandise to the returns desk and the clerk couldn't get it to scan. She ended up calling a Supervisor who had the same problem. I had been informed that I would be credited the wrong price and my purchase would be re-entered at the correct price. When I asked about the Scanning Code of Practice, I was informed that Target does not adopt that policy except in Quebec stores. She said in Quebec there is legislation so that stores have to follow the SCOP but not in Ontario.
Anyway, she ended up giving me back a refund (but no refund on the tax I paid) and gave me the Scrubbing Bubbles as well.
On the brighter side, I had a coupon that came with today's SmartSource flyer whereby if you buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Cleaning Gel, you get 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Bowl Cleaner for free. So in the end I paid .59 cents for both items.
I also sent an email to Target's customer service asking them whey they don't adhere to the SCOP. I'll have to wait to see what they say.This thread is currently associated with: Smart Source, Target

Target keeps on sounding just like Zellers....but with a different name. If I don't hear nice things about them soon I am not going to even bother with them.
Love like crazy everyday and smile.

Just wanted to mention that they have notices everywhere stating that they price match. Also, when I told them the price was incorrect, they didn't go to check the shelf. I think (not positive mind you) that they take the customer's word. I think their prices are higher than Walmart. Also, the new store looked very nice indeed.
As an added note, I don't think Target allows our veterans to sell poppies in their premises on Veterans Day.Last edited by Savings4me; Sat, Mar 23rd, 2013 at 07:43 AM.

Many stores do not allow people to sell anything, while Remembrance Day is a worthy cause, allowing vets to sell poppies gets them complaints from all the other groups they have told no who believe that their cause is just as worthy, because unlike vets, they do not get government funding - same with the Sally Ann kettles at xmas

They will have to have SCOP here in Quebec , it's the law. Zellers had to also.

the veterans complaint really has nothing to do with anything.
target is a charitable company, and do support veterans with donations of their own.
i do not want people asking me for money while i am trying to shop. i am a charitable person, but on my own time, by my terms. not while someone is blocking traffic trying to guilt people.Last edited by anisa; Sat, Mar 23rd, 2013 at 09:44 AM. Reason: grammar!

I just got a reply back from Target's customer service. Here is there response.....
We've taken these comments very seriously, so thanks for taking the time to let us know about the issue you had at the checkout.The Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Codes is currently considered voluntary in all provinces except Quebec, where it is required. We will not formally be participating in the code for Year 1 in Canada anywhere but Quebec.

FYI, the Royal Canadian Legion does not "sell" poppies. They will gladly pin one on to anyone who asks for them; they accept donations if they are offered.
http://legion.ca/Home/FAQ_e.cfm
Q: What is the annual Poppy Campaign?
A: Each Legion branch organizes an annual campaign to provide Canadians with an opportunity to obtain and wear a Poppy. This is done by Legion members, often assisted by youth groups such as cadets and scouts, who volunteer to conduct door-to-door canvassing and set-up locations throughout the community where individuals may obtain a Poppy. Many commercial businesses also welcome Poppy trays in their outlets to assist the Legion with this important work.
Q: How much do Poppies cost?
A: Poppies are never sold or purchased – people make a contribution for the Poppy they wear. (emphasis mine)
