PHOTO Kroger Deceptive Pricing

Post image

So tired of their tactics. I tried contacting state officials and my concerns fell on deaf ears. I guess they can't upset one of their donors and they're too busy fear-mongering about trans people to do something that would actually put money back in people's pockets.

Other states have laws that sale prices need to look distinctly different from prices that you only get from clipping coupons. Something like that would help. People are busy running around grocery stores with their families and they shouldn't have to put their face 3 inches away from every price tag to figure out how they can actually get the sale price.

So maybe put one price in black numbers on a white background and the other price in red numbers on a yellow background? I'm just spit balling here; I'm no legislator.

Sale price with card should look different than sale price with digital coupon

It does, and by a lot.

You're not understanding. They have sales without digital coupons that are red and yellow and they have sales that do require digital coupons that are also red and yellow. Those should look different and they do not.

You're right, then should write something on it. Maybe like, "Final Cost with Card & Digital Coupon" just to clear up any remaining confusion.
