 The Foodtown store on McDonald Ave. & Albemarle Rd. in Brooklyn - and 
 probably many others - DELIBERATELY posts signs and price tags showing a 
 lower price than is actually charged when the scanner-register rings up the 
 sale on some products. 
  
 Complain to the checkout clerk, and it is likely he or she will claim that 
 the scanner price is correct. 
  
 Get ahold of the manager, and he or she also may claim this. 
  
 PROVE you are right by taking the manager to the shelf the product is on, or 
 showing the "sale" sign or flyer with the advertised price, and you'll get a 
 grudgingly-given reduction of the price to what it should be. 
  
 THE STORE IS LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO CHARGE ONLY THE ADVERTISED OR POSTED 
 PRICE. 
  
 THE STORE IS LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO POST ON THE SHELF OR TAG THE PRODUCT WITH 
 A PRICE, AND THE CORRECT PRICE. 
  
 Don't be afraid of causing a delay, and SPEAK OUT LOUD for all to hear when 
 you complain of this attempt to ROB YOU. 
 If shoplifting is illegal and unacceptable, it is also illegal and 
 unacceptable for a store to rob its customers! 
  
 If these thieving scumbag stores keep this up, shoplifting squads may be 
 needed to even the score. Or maybe some fed-up store scam victims will get 
 angry and do some damage - those big windows are fragile, and pretty 
 expensive!
