Tesco misprice policy discussion area part III

Downloads, I dont bother with I prefer to actualy have somthing in my hand to prove I paid for it. I do have a few downloaded tracks but I feel cheated becasue all I have is a debit from my card and a file that I and those in the know could have got free with a bit of searching in the wrong places.

I was wondering.If you buy a game at one store and it scans say £10 lower in another have you been overcharged?If so which store has to deal with it?
I'm asking theoretically as I know some CS are "better" than others.So could it be preferable to try get discount in another store with receipt or is this not accepted?

nah, store by store basis i'm afraid!

Had an underprice today.

Went to CS desk to see what the reaction was about my 1p undercharge.

Smile on the CSs face and told to enjoy it!

Many of my friends buy the cd from the shop, rip it, then take it back or sell it on ebay.

Copying cds is like pickpocketing the artist. You wouldn't pickpocket a friend so why would anyone do it to an artist who, presumably, they admire?

Had another good day shopping, got the sony hifi as mentioned in this thread and i got a technika hifi and was so happy i found a new R&R, I wanted to come home and tell everyone but some one has already beaten me to it
Oh well good find matey.
Also i talked my way out of a free Dyson :eek: It all happend so quickly.
There was one dyson dc07 allergy cleaner in the store, an A4 poster attached to it saying £179.97 offer ends 31/1/06. I knew i was on to the winner so took it to the checkout. It scanned at £249.97 and silly old me for reasons i will nether be able to understand said "This poster says £179.97" :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: How silly was i. I must point out my money had not been taken at this stage. Supervisor called and reduced the price to £179.97 at the till for me.
Strangelly enough i had forgoten my wallet
Still you win some you loose some.

If any one else knows where the dyson is on offer please please please let me know and if it feasable i will travell to get it.

I heard this talked about before but I'm never sure if its true or if its "The evil company are out to get me.". What might be interesting is if you can tell me a store and the barcode of a CD I can see what price changes have happened on that product. I don't want to risk getting myself into any kind of trouble at work but I don't think its unreasonable to tell if you if the prices did go up to balance the 20% reduction.

Hello there, in all honesty my comments are based on what ive picked up from other people posting on this thread. However an example i can think of is the KEANE hopes and fears album, which was labelled at £6.98 and scanning at £8.98. ( not sure if thats the right price but there was deffinatelly £2 difference.
All the cds were labelled £2 cheaper than they were actually scanning for so my theory is, the cds were previouslly available at the lower price then there was a decison to offer 20% discount. The cd is then £2 more expensive making up for any future reductions.
A bit confusing maybe but i think you will follow me.
Sorry i cant make it less jumbled. My brain isnt in the right gear today
