For example: Josée gets a bike seat at a large store. The price advertized on the shelf is $15.99. At the cash, the bill shows $18.99. According to the price accuracy policy, the merchant must give her the seat for $ 5.99: the advertized price ($15.99) minus the $10 discount.

No. They don’t apply when the law prohibits a discount (for example, tobacco products and medications) or when the compensation would result in a price lower than the set minimum price for these products (for example, milk, beer and wine).
