Meijers Meijer Super Store Deliberate Price Gouging Livonia Michigan

There are two public acts that are applicable to Meijers deliberate abuse of the scanning law.

The first is the scanning law.

The second is what constitutes "affixing the price to the product".

Michigan Law clearly states that affixing the price to the shelf is legally defined as affixing the price to the product.

In addition, Meijers actually has their employees handing out a modified version of the scanner law which does not reference the laws defining what constitutes affixing a price to an object.

Further, Meijers has employees trained to tell customers that "senate bil..." constitutes an explanation of a public act.

Meijers is a store deliberately ripping off consumers using the scanner system.

Anyone literate enough to read the law can see that affixing a price to the shelf is the same as affixing the price to the item.

Go read the law.

so 1/2 hour in each store to find a scanning error. well personally i would say they are doing darn good. what a waste of your time. do you really think that mr fred meijer sits in his easy chair and tries to think of ways to rip you off. get over yourself.
go do someting to help little kids, be a big brother, work at your local school or church in your spare time or go pick weeds at the meijer gardens (it might tak you 1/2 an hour to find one but you sound like a guy who needs a challenge. get a life. fred is not purposely ripping you off. he has real people working for him and those real people make real mistakes. if you don't make mistakes at your job then you are not being pushed hard enough.
i would say neither one of you know the laws.
truely, meijer has to sell nothing at any price.

The OP IS correct in that he was entitled to the sale price. If there is no tag on the item itself, but there is a general tag stating that a certain group of items are a particular price (i.e. the yellow tag under the helmets that stated they were $24.99), then this is the price allowed under Michigan law. Read the entirety of the statute, and even the AG's "FAQ" linked in the original post, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

However, the "bonus" law, which allows for statutory damages, is not applicable to this situation because it IS limited to items with price tags on them.

So Meijer was in the wrong to the extent that they WERE required to sell the item for the sale price. However, if the consumer did not actually purchase the item, he has no recourse whatsoever, because he hasn't actually suffered any damages.

And if Meijer is engaging in this or similar activity on a regular basis, then the consumer is right in stating that a mass rip-off is ocurring, and the AG should at least conduct an investigation.

While it isn't good customer service, Meijer was in the right. Since your helmet was not price marked, it does not fall under the scanning award. It even says it in the part of the Michigan statute that you posted. Good luck to you.
