It is law in Michigan. There is also a law about scanning items wrong, if the price is different, you get 10X the amount of difference between prices. I always changed the price if it was marked wrong when I was a cashier at Meijer. Scott S. (...) (25 years ago, 13-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
