Last week at the Meijer's store on Rome-Hilliard road, I was buying some paint 
brushes.  They were regularly $3.49 marked down to $1.99.  I got to the 
register and they scanned at $3.49.  I notified the cashier that these were on 
sale and she called back to the department to get the price.  Whoever answered 
told her they were $3.49.  I had to walk back to where I found them, get the 
sign that said they were on sale and bring it up to the cashier for her to sell
them to me at the marked price.  (At Big Bear, Kroger's, almost anywhere else, 
if it scans higher, you get one free.)  Meijer's doesn't do this.  I was pissed
because I had to FIGHT for their advertised price!

I know it's only a buck-fifty but this is certainly not the first time Meijer's
has done this.  I constantly have to watch to see what things ring up at 
because it seems like one out of every five items scans wrong.  For instance, 
be careful if you're buying beer there.  Bud Light and Natural Light are on 
sale and they both scanned wrong last night.

I understand it's a law in Michigan that if an item scans higher, you get one
of those items free (the Meijer manager told me that...)  I don't even want to 
shop there anymore because they can't get it right.

Does anyone else have this problem with Meijer's?  Any other store?
