    In the Polish section of my local Asda there is a section of Costa Fruit juices at £1.05 and £1.06, depending on which flavour you get.

    I noticed that on the Red Orange and the Apple packages it says "1 LITR GRATIS", but all the other flavours don't have the 1lt free on them.

    Now I'm thinking, do ASDA assume that we Brits can't understand Polish and they hope that nobody complains or is it a genuine error in the buying/pricing department?

    Either way I go to the CS Desk and say "I think that I have been overcharged for this item. I assumed that as it states that it is 1Lt free, I thought that I would get a saving of 53p at the checkout.

    Anyway the CS tries to fob me off by saying that that is how we buy them in and here is nothing that we can do about it.

    I then point out that this is against the law and I'm sure that Trading Standards would be very interested in this.

    She gets on the phone and explains to the Manager and she said that there is obviously an error somewhere and she was to offer me my money back whilst keeping the item.

    I say thank you very much and take my juice and £1.06 refund and say that as I have free drink, I won't be pressing for a £2.00 voucher. However when I come back tomorrow and they are still at the same price, then I will buy the whole shelf and demand a refund again and press for a £2.00 voucher for each item.

    I am assuming that as they have already confirmed a misprice by refunding me, then they won't have a leg to stand on in the morning?

    The item in question is Costa Czerwone Pomarancze 2L. (Costa Red Orange Juice) - Item No: 590050002335.

    Fill your trolleys, drink, enjoy and discuss away.
