又到了一年中买买买的季节,中国来的朋友可以从现在一直买到春节去了。不知道大家有没有这样的经历:在商家购物时看见一件商品标价很诱人,但结账时才发现货架上的价格标签是错的,想和收银员理论人家却不理你,最后只能空手怅然而归。
多谢“ason”提供信息。其实加拿大消费者协会有个Scanner Price Accuracy Code(官网链接)专门针对这种情况来保护消费者权益。如果你在收银台处扫某件商品的价格高于该商品在货架上的标价,则商家需要承担责任,低于$10的商品免费赔偿给你,而高于$10的商品应该按那个低的价格再降$10卖给你(具体是指对于一个transaction内的一个item赔客户$10)。如果收银员说没听过这个政策的话,你就让他/她去找经理过来谈。
On a claim being presented by the customer, where the scanned price of a product at checkout is higher than the price displayed in the store or than advertised by the store, the lower price will be honoured; and
- if the correct price of the product is $10 or less, the retailer will give the product to the customer free of charge; or
- if the correct price of the product is higher than $10, the retailer will give the customer a discount of $10 off the correct price.
