    They're having you on re: the apples.
    You buy a product advertised at £1. They charge you £2. DTD entitles you to double the overcharge (in this case £1 so your refund is £2) and you keep the item.

    I've been told in a store in Dumfries that they only gave the difference back - is it up to the manager?

    I got something few days ago on the reduced shelf at Tesco. Big sticker reduced to 50p and charged full price of £4. Overcharge was £3.50 so got £7 back.

    Tesco "Double the discount" is national policy and no manager can change it. Check the printable coupon thread for exact policy details.

    Asda have a overcharge policy - if you are overcharged you get your money back and a £2 gift card. (but you usually have to ask for the gift card)

    ...but they try very hard to, as do a lot of CS staff who begrudge you checking your receipt!
