    Thats rubbish, they still overcharged you. I got an R&R on the DIY books on a self scan till.


    I always try to use a self scan till to avoid some poor checkout operator getting any flak from the Tesco thought police - you know the routine - rather than spend time sorting the problem out they will spend twice as much time rodding some poor soul for not spotting it.

    Usually say - i didn`t look at the price untill I checked my reciept.

    90% of mince is wrong in Blackpool - as are Egypt books £8.97 sticker £9.97 scan.

    My nine year old daughter got a nice surprise tonight. She was spending some of her birthday money on a Crazy Frog GBA Game stickered £14.96. It went through the till at £19.99.

    Customer services simply asked us for 1p and with a big smile gave us £20 back. My daughter was delighted when I explained why she had received the game for nothing.

    I hope this hasn't started an addiction or she'll be a nightmare to shop with in future. We'll be in the supermarket for hours. :D
