Tesco Misprices Discussion area part 5

muffinhead

Just got another R&R in Tesco's (Reading) :j !

Duran Durans Greatest (2 Disc CD & DVD) - SEL £8.97 - Charged £15.97

The CS guy took the SEL off the shelf so not too sure if it'll be replaced with the correct price or £8.97!

anyone seen a scanner in consett? went in today for a spot of shopping but could not find one anywhere. and ALL prices seemed to be spot on on the face of it, most impressive !

There is a great way of finding out if a store has a scanner or not.

Next time you are in, ask a member of staff

They dont hide them - or deliberatly break them - honest!

I notice 2 weeks ago that we had a new scanner in our local tescos, to replace the old broken one that had been hanging from the wall for about 6 months ......... went in on monday and noticed it hanging from the wall.

Ours is hidden on a pillar down the isle that no one can get a trolly down!

Probably wore out from over use

They tend to be on pillars because it is easier to run the cable across the roof and down than under the floor (pillars are a good place to start if you are looking for one).

Getting them fixed when they break is never easy for some reason :sad:

yeah good idea i guess, although last time i asked in a different store 2 SA were unable to tell me as they did not know! that was just after i made a complete div of myself by using the self scanning tills, which i had never encoutered before in my life. I scanned a couple of things, but then the confounded till wanted me to pay for them so i had to try and cancel it out, which after a mere 3-4 minutes of what seemed like ear splitting beeping, did attract the attention of the first SA who was very kindly saying " don't worry about it"... while she pressed about 20 buttons to re-set the till, and the queue behind me stood tapping their feet and rolling their eyes ! talk about showing yersel up! Also the fact that consett seemed to have everything correctly priced - couldn't find anything unpriced to use as an excuse for wanting a scanner !

i did check the pillars - you're right i have found them there on previous occasions. Note for anyone else looking too. i have seen big bulky blue ones, and in the "till disaster " store, teeny tiny red ones - about the size of a calculator (and a small one at that). no wonder i couldn't find them at first - i was looking for huge blue things!

I never have a problem finding a scanner. I just ask a member of staff - they are usually very helpful! I try to ask staff that look like they are school kids with a Saturday job; ones that are least likely to be involved in an R&R dispute.

Whether they are working or not is another matter though

Current promotion (ends 16th April) gives everyone the chance of a Free mobile phone.

Go to a till with a dim looking cashier, spend over £40 on other items, best put your box for the phone near beginning of your pile of shopping on conveyor belt. If cashier forgets to press the correct button-you are on to a winner!

Worked for me this week-top of the range phone-R & R'd no problemo :j

The cashiers get into big trouble for this. I dont think this is fair.
