Australian Retailers Association (ARA) Codes of Practice (including scanning) |
http://www.retail.org.au/ index.php/policy/ codes_of_practice |
14 December 2008 3:40:27pm
It would appear that retailers (and their association) are being careful to prevent you finding this information so for my own recollection and to stuff their careful system up you will find the scanning code of practice for computerised checkout systems in supermarkets 2004 as as well as other codes of conduct at this page. The following are the main bits (from the downloadable PDF): 3. The Item-Free and Multiple Purchases Policies 3.1 If the scanned price of an item is higher than the shelf price, the customer shall be entitled to that item free. 3.2 Where multiple items bearing identical bar codes, or the same PLU number, are purchased and scan at a price higher than the shelf price, the customer shall be entitled to the first item free and the others at the lower (that is the shelf) price. Where multiple pre-packed items, of the same product, which have a set price per kilo (and therefore do not have an identical bar code) are scanned at a higher price than the shelf price, the customer shall be entitled to the first pack scanned for free and the other packs at the correct price per kilo. 3.3 Where there is a difference between the shelf price and the scanned price of the item, the discrepancy will be remedied immediately by the store. 3.4 A scanning error shall be deemed to have occurred when an item has been scanned or the correct PLU number keyed-in and a price higher than the shelf price is registered on the checkout terminal display. It is not necessary for a customer to have paid for the item or to have left the store to be entitled to receive the item free under the Code. Where an operator error has occurred, that is the wrong PLU number is keyed in or the wrong product is identified by the checkout operator, the consumer is not entitled to the product for free. 3.5 If a customer removes, alters or otherwise interferes with a shelf price label or bar code, the customer loses her/his right to receive the item free. 4. Retailer Responsibilities 4.1 Retailers undertake to apply the Code in spirit as well as in the letter, so that high ethical standards are followed by all relevant retailers. 4.2 The retailer is obliged to ensure that the interests of customers are protected by the development of inhouse procedures designed to ensure the integrity and accuracy of computerised checkout systems at all times. 4.3 The retailer will also encourage customer awareness of the Code through the display of signage at each checkout or each entry point to the store. This sign must be clearly visible to customers standing at the checkout or upon entry to the supermarket. 4.4 Staff are required to be familiar with the provisions of the Code and to ensure that customer inquiries or grievances about the Code are handled in a courteous and efficient manner. The retailer will ensure the maintenance of staff training programs to that end. 4.5 The retailer will maintain supplies of Code information materials and provide customers with a copy of the Code leaflet on request. 4.6 Common sense should dictate the period in which a store will accept a customer complaint. As a guideline for customers and store staff, however, it would be reasonable to deal with a complaint up to one month after the error is alleged to have occurred. (See also Section 10 below).

Portal to view all local catalogs (Target, Big W, KMART, Dick Smith, Tandy, Teds, Office Works, Telstra, Fantastic Furniture, Spoltlight, Go Lo, Guardian Pharmacies and more). Has some search capability. Looks very promising! Note that if a specific search fails try using more generic terms (remember most catalogs are mostly images which can't the searched), do for example if "paper mario" fails, try "Wii" etc.

Before buying or selling a car, check the value of the car you own or are about to buy. The price screen shows the typical trade-in value from a dealer, or private sale value if you intend to sell or buy a car privately. You can also compare up to 3 vehicles side by side, or search for particular cars e.g. all V8's or medium size hatchbacks. Trade-in and private sale values on used motor cycles, sidecars and trailers. Compare cycles. |
