Scanning Code of Practice

I have heard of this but never used it before today, it took a bit of time but my $9 garbage bags were free. I was at Canadian Tire and the shelf price listed $7.99, but came up $8.99 at the cash. They went through the usual process of getting someone to check while I and everyone else in line waited patiently, the guy couldn't find the product so he came to get it and disappeared. The manager saw this so she came over and told the cashier to let me pay the lower price while she went to get my product back. In the mean time I waited around the next empty cash and saw the little Scanning Code of Practice sticker so I mentioned that to the manager, she had to read it, but obliged and gave me my money back. The details are here :http://www.cacds.com/onrecord/documents/EnglishCashierDocumentSeptember2007Final.pdf
The example shown is exactly what I saw at the cash. I hope I remember for next time, because this does happen often.

It is very much like the "Price Match" policy many have, giving you a further discount to keep you satisfied, and to let the retailer know of a competitors price.
The idea behind both of the policies is so the retailer can correct the price. I have used the Price Match policy many times and usually they drop their price on the shelf to the same or one cent lower than other competitor prices, but other times I have seen them leave it in hopes of uninformed consumers.
I think I have heard of the Scan Code of Practice, but I have never asked for it to be put into use, `til now!
Thanks for posting the info.
