If you live in the state of Michigan, there is a law that protects the consumer that you may not be aware of; not too many people are, so I would like to share it with everyone so that as a consumer, you can protect yourself. It’s called the scanner law.

If you purchase an item that is marked with a price tag, and then at the checkout you are overcharged for the item, you are entitled to the difference that you were overcharged plus 10 times the difference up to $5.00 which is usually referred to as the ‘bonus’.
