This very rarely happens in MA, because when it does the store has to give you the item for $10 off, including if that makes it free. And they have to post a sign at the register explaining the law, which means when you're invoking it all you need to do is point at the sign.

Is this a recent law? I lived most of my life in MA and I've never heard of this, and never noticed one of those signs.
