Pricing errors get woman banned from grocery stores

Many stores have a policy that, if the price on the shelf doesn’t match up to the price at the register, you can get the item free, or, at more restrictive stores, they’ll give you $5.  A woman named Alana Lipkin in Massachussetts has gotten so good at finding pricing errors that she routinely gets hundreds of dollars in free merchandise.

The supermarkets’ solution?  To ban her from shopping there.  They are essentially banning her for taking advantage of their own bad pricing system!  She should sue them for not following their pricing guarantees.
