    It was a pre-packed item that had price of £1.99 on the label.
    In that case I have no idea. Vegetables are not liable for VAT.

    Back to the original gripe, chap in front of me in the queue last week came a cropper with his "special offer" items so obviously it hasnt been sorted at all.

    Is there really anything that needs sorting though? I don't know about M&S, but (as previously suggested) most other supermarkets seem to use a generic set of stick on labels, the actual detail of exactly what it applies to is usually written on the shelf label.

  • Slightly off topic but I was in M&S a few weeks ago and a woman was complaining loudly to her husband about the 'half-price' cherries - "it says £1.99 but it doesn't say how much they were originally..I wanna know what the original price was.." :D The mind boggles!

    I kinda get this...if they were £3-50 to start with then £1-99 isn't half price.....
