I am sorry to hear of you people that do not feel that a few cents is not enough to complain about but if you are constantly getting ripped off by Zellers than you have a lot more money than I have. It is constant at my Zellers in Listowel that you have to watch everything that is rung into the system at cash because the excuses I get is that it is not in the system, we were not told of the sales, what is on the shelf price is not right, and so on. I do not buy anything anymore there because I am sick of the excuses that they have. Sorry but that is my thoughts.

I know exactly what happened. The one shirt for 19.00 was actually a clearance shirt just the yellow ticket must of fell off and the sale was 25% regular items only. So since you were getting a clearance shirt she couldn’t adjust the price. She should of explained the circumstance more clearly to you, but seeing as though you’re complaining over 27 cents you probably not giving her a chance to explain the situation and just yelling at her and treating her like its her fault. If I were here I would of pulled out a quarter and two pennies from my pocket and be like here if its such a big deal just take my money.

Wow, what a bunch of haters and presumptuous jerks there are on this site! I’m surprised that Boo hasn’t hit you all in the head for belittling someone you don’t even know. I thought the whole purpose of this website was about deals and trying to save a buck…or at the very least a few pennies. Obviously none of the haters/commenters have put one iota of thought into your verbal attacks on the OP. I’m willing to bet none of you would have the balls to say a thing to her face. Have any of you ever been in a position where you’ve just simply had enough? It’s usually the trivial thing that makes you snap. Think, people, before you attack someone. And stop using an anonymous forum to verbally bash someone - the next time you complain, it might be you who gets it. For some, it would be richly deserved.

Bottom line, Jsam’s mom is an idiot

If an item scans up at .01 Zellers cannot sell the item. It means that the manufacturer has discontinued the item, recalled it or it must be sent back. The manufacturer makes this decision and the store isn’t always notified. When an item scans up at .01 they must notify a manager and all of the stock must be pulled.

If they sell it they get in alot of trouble - including the cashier who allowed the sale to happen.

Jsam’s mom, yes, I’m a Zellers cashier and despite whatever you think about the company’s riches your cashier probably couldn’t afford an apartment with her wages let alone the cozy suburban house you probably live in with daddy bigbucks and spoiled brats. She was probably like a week in training and figured when she’s made an error she might as well just give you the extra change.

Principal? What principal? Are you a philosopher? Do you have a degree in philosophy? If you really believed in the principal, Jsam’s, you would have conducted a full investigation of why it doesn’t ring in at the price. Are you sure they’re exactly the same shirt? Are you sure both the barcodes were intended for that product?

People come to me time and time again with their supposed “principal” clauses for which they know nothing about, and whimper sour excuses like “the sign under it said . . . ” well maybe some guy next to you just picked up 2 of them and stuck it on top of that sign. Maybe somebody peeled off a barcode and slapped it on. Consider the amount that’s spent just on product damages. Product that doesn’t get used by anyone, just thrown away. Largely because of stupid customers who don’t respect the packaging, and feel they are ordained to tear open the product and “have a look” in complete denial that they are comitting temperament if not theft and obstruction of commerce. Picture that Jsam’s mom. We could legally send you to jail for fucking with product. Sure maybe it’s not that nice, but hey it’s the principal after all. Can’t masturbate without your precious principal.

I don’t work at Zellers but at another store. Now, it could be possible the shirt that rang up at regular price was NOT one that was to be marked down. Did the ad read “selected” or list an item number, or “all”? If not all, then that means not all arrow shirts were on sale. Stores may indicate only certain item numbers (and the workers at the stores know what they are) are on sale. So possible this one was not included in the sale price. And also, sometimes new stock comes in with different number: they raen’t marked on sale, but the product it is replacing (maybe the new one is a different color shade than the old) is reduced to clear out that old stock.

Then you always have it where customers pick up something from the PROPER rack/shelve, see something else that’s cheaper, then just place that product down where they are. Next person comes along, sees the item on the sale price rack/shelve, thinks it’s on sale then finds out it’s not at the register. If one does not want a product, return it to where you got it from. It could be you next time finding something where it shouldn’t be then getting into a hassle at the checkout with the cashier when it doesn’t ring up at sale price BECAUSE IT’S NOT THE ONE ON SALE!

This msg is to everyone who had something ignorant and unrelated to the original post. You people are writing replies that are ignorant, talking about her child and shit is just ridiculous. Grow up and stop talkin shit about someone whom you have never met, and to bring her child into it is totally uncalled for. Seriously GROW UP. The post is about Zellers and the principal of the matter not the money, herself or her child, so get over yourself and get over it. If you don’y have anything valuble to add then stay out of it.
P.S. The people who commented about her and her child need to get a grip and stop using the computer to hide from your own pathetic lives. I can’t believe people can be so low. Sad excuse for human beings. UNBELIEVABLE.

I am a cashier at Zellers, I just wanted to reply to someone previously who said that even if something scans at .01 we have to sell it to you for that price. This has happened before and when it does we are not allowed to sell it at all. We can not sell it to you for .01, we have to give it to the manager and they will take it off the shelf.

I agree with the OP — it’s the principle of the matter.

And fyi the Zellers in Quebec is part of SCOP. It’s the law here, with some modifications/exceptions for small retailers.

Zellers is so welfare these days. Their stores are old and not well-maintained. When I walk into a Zellers store, I want to get in and out of there as quickly as possible.

Why can’t Zellers be more like Target? I love Target!

Target is what Zellers should strive to be.

The one I really feel sorry for here is JSAM. If his mom is like this over 27 CENTS what is she like otherwise, and what will jsam grow up to be like? Sad

OK people clearance item is not on sale with the regular priced items , the only one that could be over ride was the regular priced item. I agree it was too much for .27cents. Prices that end in 00$ are clearance . Some of you customers should PUT things back in their places so the next customer dosen,t have to go through this..Some of you should try working in retail and see how easy it is to deal with rude customers on an hourly basis..
