My latest Crappy Tire incident

[houston39]

I was in the Sarcee Trail store in Calgary and found a big NO SMOKING sign that had been marked down to $.87 . I thought it would be funny to give to my Mother In Law for a special occasion. So, I put the item in my cart and proceeded to check out. When it rang up, it was for $1.79, and I told the girl it was the wrong price and it had been marked down.

She said that $1.79 is the correct price and looked plenty annoyed! At this moment I was pleased because I knew I would have to make Crappy Tire employees work and actually do something.

So after about 30 seconds of telling her she is wrong, she got another Crappy Tire employee to check the price. In the mean time, there are people lining up behind me and probably aren't too happy.

The girl comes back and verifies that this price is $.87 - so remember, always make those happy Crappy Employees do their job.

Do the Crappy stores in Alberta say they follow the Scanner Code of Practice?

See Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code - Pamphlet - Competition Bureau

If so, you should have gotten it for free. But store in Ontario train their staff to cheat the customers out of it (according to some cashiers who've posted here).

Looks like Crappy Tire stores right across the country are committed to complying with the code, since CTC is one of the "Signatories to Scanner Accuracy":

Retail Council of Canada: Advocacy & Policy - National: Consumer Protection - Code of Practice: Scanner Price Accuracy Voluntary Code

Not worth the hassle of educating them for under a buck, but good to remember for next time.

As a Canadian Tire employee myself.. I would just like you to know that I actually hate my job and so does pretty much everyone else that works here. Most of us have just given up on trying to make our workplace experience a good one, and those that do get shit on by customers and our managers. sooo.. long story short, we're grumpy as shit for a reason, and also minor alcoholics..
