Posted on the misprices thread were batteries energiser batteries 2 for £4 not taking the offer off when scanning. Has anyone else tried these, just wondering if it was likely to be a national error.
Thanks

I would like to know which store constantine works in, seeing as his/her store has a robust price integrity. I say that is a chalenge:rotfl:

And thats why I am not saying! (got this vision of a gang of professional r & R's swarming everywhere ). Mistakes happen, I just can not recall one relating to products posted here.

Oh...except the finest 20% thing....messed up for the first day or so on the catch weight cheese

I tried this a few hours after being posted on the misprice threa - discount applied - looks like the error was corrected damn quickly.

Thank you, Duder.

For anyone in South Wales, Prince of Persia PSP has an sel of £19.94 supposed to scan at £19.97 (Culver House Cross Store also the same at Western Avenue Cardiff). OH wouldn't let me try R&R of only 3p, anyone braver than me go for it.

Thats fraud, plain and simple. Its something I dont think anyone needs to do as there are so many genuine misprices out there that there is no need for anyone to go to those lengths which is akin to shoplifting as it wasnt a Tesco error but an action by the person involved.

When I picked upa mobile phone quite a few weeks back, the CS person did relate a tale like that to me and I thought they were just making it up to try and avoid the R and R, but they paid up in the end. I would have been quite happy or them to check CCTV footage in my case and almost said so, but in the end they didnt need to and admitted it was more likely their error.

I bought 2 packs the next morning after that post .... for the advertised £4.00
I suspect what happened is that was a new offer and the OP purchased the items in the evening as the night shift were putting up the new signs for the new offers, and the computer hadnt applied them at that point, but by the next morning when I bought them they had applied the new prices and they are now correct. oh well I needed some new batteries for my keyboard anyway <g>

Awww, Constantine, I was alooking for somewhere to go for a day out for Bank Holiday monday, I could have done a fly by if you were "local" ish and I would have been nice and only took one of each product, honest <gg>. Actually I think in my various travels I can visit a max of 10 different Tescos over a 2 week period depending onn which side of the country I am on at any one day, 7 are Extras and they are the ones that tend to have the errors, the 24 hour and smaller shops are more on the ball and dont have as many errors but I guess thats just down to volume of things that get changed and less likely for it to happen to them.

Over the last couple of weeks, at various stores , i have spotted quite a few items with higher price on pack against the shelf price but always scans at the lower price . Cant help but think it's deliberate to make us think we have found something and if the store has no scanner to check would you buy it and take a chance ?
