This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects.

Hey! This is bananas: the link in this skeet is not accessible unless you sign up using a “non-free” email address, whatever the f that is. Should we file a class action law suit against Law360?

A refutation of the assumptions of classical economics…in the Seventh Circuit?! The court of Posner and Easterbrook?! There is still hope in the law!

Wonder what would happen if someone called the police re theft. And the local TV news. And/or made a video of it all for an online expose. Or if any of that actually happened. In the meantime, is it known whether Walmart has ceased to steal from customers?

Walmart does this. It has happened to me. You can go through the ordeal of having someone dawdle back to the shelf, verify the price, and pay what's on the shelf, leave the item, or grumble to yourself and let them steal that extra few cents. Also, you can't trust their per-ounce prices.

Meanwhile in Canada: If the scanner has a different price than the shelf price, the item is free (if it costs under $10), and if the price is over $10 you receive a $10 discount.

Maybe this is noted later in it, I'm too tired to read through right now, but you also *can't* take your receipt or groceries back into the aisles at most Walmarts. They check your receipt at the door on the way out, you leave, and if you come back it had better be empty-handed. Because shoplifting.
