Happened to me too. Purchased some dry goods, paid, then someone comes running to say they've undercharged me. I said then I'll return the items because I don't want to pay the newly extra inflated price. Then they tried to refuse the return and demanded I pay up. I put my bags down, gave the cashier my best "try it" look, and she refunded my card on the spot.

If you paid for the item and are holding the reciept as long as you didnt tamper with the price at all you OWN the items.

I would have said have a nice day and walked out. If they said they are calling the police I would have said they can come to my house.

This one takes the cake though....call the police !? Please do. Then the media can get a hold of the story and expose that operation for the joke that it is.

Seems they never mark prices on livestock which leads me to believe that they size you up and pitch a price at you and see if you swing. It'd be interesting to get 3 or 4 people to ask the price of a fish to different staffers over a day or 2 and see how many different numbers you get.

As far as Calgary is concerned, there are a number of good marine-centric shops that actually know what they're talking about.
Maybe you should report them to the BBB.
