So I can just grab the price scanner from behind the counter, turn the monitor to face me and scan items from the store? Oh I will, and that is exactly what the law says. How fucking hard is it to price the items on your shelf? Expect a visit from the division of standards in the near future. Fines for non complience shouldn't be passed on to the customer anyway. Gotta make those boat payments somehow though, right?

Why would anyone spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a franchise if it's soooo hard to turn a profit that they have to price hide their standard 200% markup.

From mass. Gov: "The Massachusetts Item Pricing Law requires:
Food stores, or retailers with food departments, that do not use price scanners must individually price each item in addition to displaying the price on the shelves."

I've forced franchisees to sell the business by exposing all the corrupt practices they assume they can get away with.

Sorry I don't have 150,000 laying around at the moment, I do know it's ILLEGAL in Massachusetts to not put price tags on the items you're selling, unless you have a self price checker system installed.

With no corporate oversight and micromanagement from the oil company that they franchise from? I have worked retail for years, if they order fuel far enough in advance, they make plenty on the pumps, I'm just asking that they put price tags on the products they sell so customers know how much they are upcharging for the convenience.

6 Upvotes for this?? Seriously? You just assume you'll be ripped off so you don't even look for the price?

Yeah those poor oil companies, they are so understaffed. They do this on purpose for the reason you just stated. For those of us that don't drive land rovers and use summer as a verb can't afford to be a pawn of corporatate greed.

No, I mean it's impossible to tell what anything in the store costs, because no items have price tags.

There's a strange phenomenon called 'skyquakes' also known as the guns of senecca in the Carolinas. Google it, it's pretty interesting.
