Some countries take price accuracy more seriously than others. In Canada, for example, retailers voluntarily operate under the country’s Scanner Price Accuracy Code (SPAC).
The code requires retailers to give an item for free if it rings up higher than the posted price and costs under $10. For items priced above that, customers usually receive a bonus discount on the lowest advertised price. Many shoppers take advantage of the law, specifically scouring grocery aisles for pricing errors.
Recently, Canada-based TikToker Theandra (@theandrah250) posted a video showing how the code works in real life while shopping at two local Walmart locations. Her video has garnered over 93,000 views.
