I think it was a very sensible suggestion, not a useless comment.

Have you contacted the store?

Problem is that you left the store without checking the receipt. How would the store now know that you didn't buy two sets?

The duty is with the consumer to check that all is right at the checkout.

I agree with this.
Sales assistants do sometimes make mistakes.

I bought a few things in Primark before Christmas and knew how much the bill should be (knocking a bit off for the reduced VAT as Primark stock is priced at 17.5% VAT).
When the guy told me how much (almost £4.00 more than I'd reckoned), I queried it.
He'd put through 2 pairs of leggings (same barcode) and I knew I'd only bought one pair.
We emptied the bag and proved that there was only one pair so we started again - and I ended up paying the correct amount.
Better in my pocket than Primark.:rolleyes:

So are you saying OP should roll over and accept it was her mistake?

got the money back, turns out it was the items that were bought seperate the trousers were charged twice. If the amount had been a small amount then I would of picked it up as it would of been obviuous, but as we we were spending a major amount then I am not going to stand and add everything up before going to checkout. Yes mistake do happen, we were chatting with the assistant when putting it all through and if anything as my first posting suggested, I thought it was the 2 piece set that was the issue as that was what I saw her do.

I am so pleased to pollycat that she knew what she was going to be charged, but not everyone can do that.

Oh hello again, hundredk. :rolleyes:

Please indicate exactly where I said the OP should roll over and accept her mistake.

I just agreed with the poster above and said I make sure that I never find myself having to post for advice on here by having a pretty accurate idea of how much the final total is.

In supermarkets where this is impossible, I check my receipt fully to make sure all the offers have been applied correctly BEFORE leaving the store.

So why did you choose MY post to make your point instead of the one above which I just agreed with?

Oh yes - silly question.

You're just picking at my posts because you have issues with (alleged) female Argos staff with PMT. :rolleyes:
