So let me get this right....your buying a tv for 500£ and when you get to the till your only charged 250£...you would say to the checkout person....nah nah nah, sorry....I have to pay another 250£ on that would you???

I know I wouldn't!!!!!!!!!!!

Im usually not arguementative.. How ever if you choose not to tell the checkout person, that is your choice and you face the consequences ..

You may see me as being wrong but if you knowingly intend to perminatly deprive the store of the money .. they can and will prosecute if they notice it .

It goes the other way as well , thats what this post is about.. If they over charge you they compensate you . If they undercharge you they are perfectly in their right if noticed to prosecute ( if you knowingly paid for the goods and intended to perminantly deprive them of their money) or request full payment ..

Again, you're wrong. It's not the customers job to ensure the items are priced correctly, it's the stores.

But as Im saying the item was correctly priced on the shelf .. then charged under at the till

The times I have been undercharged at the till and gone and presented my goods, receipt and money to customer service I have been laughed away-after the second time of happening, I don't bother any more.

Anyway, thread title is regarding double the difference and discussion-what you're wanting to talk about is nothing to do with DtD. If paying a lower price at the till than on the SEL concerns you that much, please start a thread in DT and let the rest of us get on with hunting out the overcharges.

If you purchase the price at a lower price than advertised . Knowing what the advertised price is . Then it is a criminal offence.

Shoplifting I belive

Right, lets go back to basics. The sale of goods and the contract of sale. A price may be advertised against the product (say £100), but this is not the final sale price. You may take your item to the till and ask the cashier to sell it to you for whatever you like and it is up to them to agree or not. You could offer £10, £1000 or a bale of hay if you like. They could agree to accept any of those three options and then you exchange cash (or hay) for a receipt and the sale is concluded and a sales contract formed.

The advertised price is just an indication of the starting position the seller is at.

Now, you may go to a manned till, or a self service till, and if the price comes up as £1, you have been offered the goods at that (advertised) price and you are within your rights to accept their kind offer, pay and get your receipt.

This is not shoplifting as you have not attempted to steal anything - you've paid the asking price and have not broken any laws (the morality of the situation is a different matter, but your argument is about a point of law)

The seller is at liberty to remove the item from sale at any point before the contract is formed (i.e. refuse to sell it to you at the advertised price) but they are then obliged to remove all those items from sale for a 24 hour period immediately afterwards.

There's plenty of information available on t'internet about all of this - search for Sale of Goods, Contract of Sale, etc. Try it, you might learn something factual.
