Supermarket policies on mis-pricing

Do other supermarkets have the same mis-pricing policy as Tesco?

We bought some batteries from Asda and were charged wrong and my husband was given a refund and kept the batteries.

Was this a one off or should we now be giving Tesco a rest and going to other stores ie Morrisons.

    I have a feeling that Asda use to give a £2 gift card as well as the difference back in the price but that is all.


    The rest as far as I am aware just give back the over charge and nothing else.

    This must have been a one off. I bought some olive oil in Asda a couple of weeks ago because it was reduced to about £1.80 but they charged me the £5.50+ original price.
    When I noticed and complained they had to refund the difference to my card, but that was all I got.

    I think it depends who is on customer services at the time. I have been "double scanned" on numerous occasions in Asda. Sometimes I get a £2 card plus the refund, sometimes I just get the refund. In Tesco "double scans" get me just the refund, but I do think I should get a R&R for this, but it has never been offered. Does anyone have any thoughts on this R&R???
    Just about to give up!
  • I got overcharged by 50p at adsa - cs just gave me the 50p back
    I said I thought it was £2 on a gift card if you were over charged -it was & the sa gave me a gift card
    the item cost 1.5 so for me it was free

    i think you just get the dif at morrisons

  • You just get the difference at Morrisons, and usually end up waiting for ages whilst they so it out for you!

    The policy at Asda is a £2 gift card, R+R at Tesco for an overcharge, but for cashier error you only get the difference.
    There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
