A question for bookstore workers (or retail) - Canadian Freebie Forum ~Canada's top free sample, coupons, & contests forum

There's a book I want that's selling for $29.95 CDN. The US price is $21.99.

Now, I can go to the bank and buy $21.99 US for $21.48 Canadian. If I walk into that bookstore and take the book to the checkout, can I elect to pay the US price in US currency? I know it seems a silly question, but if you think about it, the price is clearly printed on the book...$30 of Canadian currency or $22 of American money. So why can't I use American?

Funny you should ask this Marty we (my family and I ) were just discussing this over Thanksgiving dinner. I am very curious to know the answer too.
