I had an interesting one this week.

2 pack torches on their £1 isle near the entrance. No SEL.

They went through as £3 which I spotted as I self scanned, so I scanned it again! and went to get another pack.

Off too the CS and I said I was overcharged. After an inspection the SA said there was no SEL. I said the whole display is £1, big banners on the shelves etc., But she asked a Supervisor who said I should be sold the item as £1 as a gesture of goodwill.

I asked why DTD was not applicable and she said there was no SEL.

I said the whole display is £1 and she came with me to look.

After a big debate and me pointing out all the other items that were only £1, the big banners and the strips stating £1 on most of the shelves, she caved in and gave the the DTD.

So, two packs of touches for my camping trip and £8 to take them away.

TIA

I had a DTD on a double scan only about 5/6 weeks ago - toothbrushes were 3 for 2, she actually scanned 5 as opposed to the 3 I had, CS gave me DTD so got 4 refunded - totally free toothbrushes!

..........remember you paid over £6 in the first place, albeit wrongly.

I bought 2 packs, too - just seemed too useful not to, given that batteries are included. They were 75p in that Branch.

please dont think im being silly but do tescos do both dtd and r&r? Have you got to work out what is the better deal and then go argue it and customer services? e.g say an item was £1 and i got charged £3. dtd would be £4. r&r would be £3???????
Please can someone help me

Its just DTD now , it replaced R&R some time ago , although a few CS assistants still do R&R if they carn't work it out.

Today I got: Adnams East Green Beer, 500ml, £1.69 per bottle and advertised on the shelf as 3 for 2. I got 3 bottles and they went through the tills with no deduction, so got DTD of £3.38.

The 3 for 2 advertising on the shelf took the form of a special barker that also proclaimed that this beer is 'great with a curry'. Obviously this was a relic of the 3 for 2 offer on a whole range of beers that ended a few days ago, so it may be worth looking out for similar stray shelf barkers.

Sunpat Peanut Butter Smooth 454g

I haven't been into a store since so I don't know if it scans at £2.37 or not.

In my local store, the SEL for this (and the crunchy variety) was for £2.37.

I stand corrected. I thought I had made more!! Well actually I 'personally' made more as the OH pays the Tesco receipts, so I pocketed the £8 and he would have paid the original receipt! Is that wrong???:eek:

Getting the other half to effectively give you money is so RIGHT!

Nurofen Caplets 16's.
Supposedly half price at 94p but scanning at £1.36. SEL and big sign stating half price - DTD back of 84p.

Popped into my local store today to get some cat food. Didn't realise the 2 boxes of felix pouches for £5 had ended, however the meaty selection had still got the old SEL stating 2 for £5 so i picked up 4 boxes. As i thought it didn't go through at that so went to CS and was told i had to go back after 8am (this was 7.40am) as nobody was available - i refused stating if they are open then someone should be able to give me a refund, after a few rude comments from the member of staff i then had to get 2 other ladies to clarify that the SEL said 2 for £5 and sign my receipt accordingly and have to go back later!
