REPUBLICANS FAIL MICHIGAN RESIDENTS - NO ITEM PRICING ROBS RESIDENTS
If you have gone shopping today - the Christmas Clearance Sales - you will have been confused and angry, that the items you wanted to purchase that you thought were marked down, were NOT...they didnt have an item price and the items were put on shelves with a generic 50 - 75% off signs, but they were mixed and matched, in some cases, with regular merchandise, allowing you to believe they were clearance items. In most cases - you couldn't tell what your purchase price was because - it was not priced and you had no way other than to go to the check out lines to find - the price.
Wal-Mart have shelves of Christmas merchandise next to regular store items and customers pushed and shoved them together and so no one knew what was clearance. There are not enough price scanners in any of Michigan stores and the Attorney General Bill Schutte is failing to monitor the - out of control - robbing of Michigan consumers.
Staples, CVS Drugs, Macy's, Target etc etc etc have failed to make the switch from item pricing to shelf pricing much more harder by failing to properly tag items on the shelves and to make them readable to seniors and customers with poor vision and anyone that can't bend down or raise up to see the pricing on the shelves.
The stores fail to have sufficient price scanners - and in locations so that customers don't have to drag merchandise around the store to get a price. Stores also, fail to have their computer pricing match, the regular price, discount price or clearance prices.
Michigan residents are being robbed, cheated - because their is no enforcement of the No Item Pricing law and the penalties are insufficient to force businesses or to encourage them to comply - the penalties are a joke - and with no enforcement
Michigan no recourse - complain to the AG Schuette - most resident just wont complain, to the AG or store manager - but you must.
If you have a problem with a purchase price, make a scene - get the manager and complain to him, complain to the corporate website by email or phone - Don't allow yourself to be robbed by businesses that make millions and billions of dollars, while you may be pinching pennies.
I don't know how other state get by without 'item pricing' but Michigan residents are not be protected.
The 99% must be protected...Republicans in Michigan are not doing it....DLM
