The sticker price is listed in $US on some products in a Michaels Canadian store. The $US price is in big print and the Canadian price is in tiny print so it’s very easy to miss. The product I wanted looked to be $2.99. At check out it was 5.99 and the clerk pointed out that $2.99 is in US dollars. No one expects products to be listed in US dollars in Canadian stores. Also , $2.99 to 5.99 is not a proper exchange rate. That’s 100%, not approximately 40% as it should be. I think this is a bit deceiving even if that’s not the intention. The $US needs to be blacked out so as to not cause any confusion to the customer, and so the customer doesn’t pay more than expected at check out. I think it’s a poor way to do business.
