How is there a Kmart in Westchester??? I'd think the community wouldn't even \"soil\" their hands at a Target.

Might as well throw Martha in jail for this as well.

Interestingly enough - Home Depot also got fined by the county last month... for not issuing rain checks on sale items:(only $1500 though)

Michigan has similar outdated pricing laws. Every item must be physically priced with a price ticket. It sounds good on paper, but individually pricing a gross of Tic-Tacs wastes a lot of time, as opposed to just being able to price the shelf. Stores are only exempt from not pricing 25 specific SKUs (Stock Keeping Units, a.k.a. items), so only one type of mint candy (i.e. Tic-Tacs as opposed to all mint candies) are covered. I think the fine in MI is per item not priced. And don't even get me started on the scan-error laws.
I wish that was a law everywhere.
People if it isn't tagged, get the manager. I do to hopefully draw the managers attention to the fact that the store is a mess. I make them come to where I found the product.
No I don't do this on all non tagged, I am not that anal. But if I am interested in something and it I can't find the price, I do.
In many areas with this law, big box stores like Cosco, BJs and Sams Club find it cheaper to pay the fines than to comply.
