You just need a bit of whiteout to get rid of one of those pesky zeros.
I may have to white out part of the bar code too so it won't scan the price
There was forecast for rain today, so no leather bag and nothing that can damage with water. Instead, I took out one of my oldest Dior Homme monogram canvas bags and my "rain attire". This thread inspired me to use it again, and I have to say that I've fallen in love with it again. So easy to use, and very light weight.
I also included a few pictures of my Dior VIII while I was trying to play with the reflections on the ceramic. Very hard to capture in a still photograph. You have to see it in person so that it can sparkle, much like a diamond looks a lot more magical in real life than in a picture.

Do you not have the same price accuracy law in Ontario where the merchant must honour the price on the tag regardless of what their system says. (after a quick google search, it seems to be Canada-wide).
" if the correct price of the product is higher than $10, the retailer will give the customer a discount of $10 off the corrected price. "
Oh I didn't know it was actually a law! I thought it was Loblaws customer service. I got it at Loblaws and Fortinos before because they mis-priced some items, but Sobeys didn't do it.
It was the absolute bane of my existence during my Summer retail work at the Bay.
Thanks!
It's just an old Zara coat (from like 2007 or 2008, I think). I haven't been able to replace it with something nicer, so for now, it's my rain/snow coat when it's around zero degrees.
Nice piece, I saw a very similar Ermenegildo Zegna one at Harry Rosen. Probably got a much more reasonable price on it too.
Did a lot of customers ask you to give them a $10 discount because the prices weren't ringing up as they should?
From my experience, The Bay has really improved a lot in its brands, store design, and merchandising, but its customer service and administration leave a lot to be desired. I've had several employees in store and on the phone provide different and inaccurate information to me. Once, they even lost $10 of my Bay rewards money in a refund. It got sent to a void! It was supposed to be returned on a gift card but the sales associate made a mistake.

Thanks. I would prefer the Zegna jacket, but only if it can go down to an affordable price during a sale.
I almost replaced this jacket two years ago during the Mr. Porter final markdown where an Alexander McQueen jacket was 70% off (at just a bit over $700 USD)!!! It was my size and I had it in my shopping cart, but then I tried to check out and saw what the customs cost would be, and I thought that I rather wait for Luisaviaroma to have a piece that I like because they have free shipping and customs/duties are all included. So I closed my browser, and the jacket was sold that evening to someone else. I wish I didn't mind the customs and just bought the coat, because I haven't found another jacket that was at such a great price and looked so nice. Sigh...
If the item is under 10$, the item is free. If the item is incorrectly priced, you need to honour the improperly labeled price with an additional discount. It happened maybe 2-5 times per shift. As for the customer service, depending on the store I would say that it is somewhere between acceptable and incredibly poor.
In a particular store in Laval, Quebec there is usually a single SA for the entire floor. It took about half an hour to find the SA and than another half hour to ring up the item. Needless to say I won't be going there again.
Oh dear. That sounds terrible.
I know a person who used to work at Sears who now works at the Bay because the Sears store closed, and he told me that he enjoyed working at Sears a lot more. I was shocked to hear that, given the fate that Sears suffered.
Thank you for letting me know about this law. I'm going to assert this next time they get the price wrong.
How do you find Alexander McQueen's quality overall? It seems like a lot of their sport jackets are half lined with fused construction, which I found to be disappointing. I absolutely love their aesthetic though! Although the couture line for women is TDF.
The one part that I liked about working at the Bay was that I was making commission on luggage (5$ a bag), which could ramp up pretty quickly for a Summer job. They also gave you store credit for each Bay credit card that you opened, which led me to build a pretty extensive cologne collection by the end of the Summer. Anyhow gotta get back to topic!
I'm really digging this Dior Homme jacket from the Winter collection.
