    I reserved the camera and some cars earlier and Argos rang me afterwards. I missed the call but I'm too scared to go in now. I'm paranoid that they've caught me out stealing from them and as soon as I put my reservation number in they'll throw me out of the shop or something. I'd die of shame being caught anyway so I'm not going to bother going in the morning.

    It's hardly stealing, it's their mistake. They'll be phoning to cancel your order due to the glitch. I'd applaud your cheek if I worked there. You think someone working the till in Argos cares if a customer takes advantage of someone at head office messing up?
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

    This glitch confuses me. I know that if you knowingly but something that is a mistake it can be thought of as theft but if it's on a 3for2 it's the company's decision to choose which is free. As far as the buyer is concerned they have taken advantage of that offer. My thoughts (and I'm probably very wrong here) is that when the payment has been accepted and you have a receipt then the contract has been formed. Aren't Argos legally obliged to supply you with the goods then?
