Tesco misprice discussion area part 10

Clasics

(slightly off topic but following up from last night's discussion about Asda's overcharge policy). Been to Asda with Mrs Clasics today to avail ourselves of some of the amazing offers there ATM (BTW, this is a FAR cheaper shop than Tesco, no question, but no R&R, unfortunately!). Thought I'd have a look at the meat section while I was there (it's become an addiction lately). Anyway, within 30 secs of looking, spotted a misprice. Turkey Steaks, SEL £2.87, pack £2.98. Nabbed one just for a laugh to see what would happen. True enough it rang thru at £2.98 so toddles off to CS desk to inform them, they check it and agree that I've been overcharged by 11p, it's all smiles as she hands over the 11p difference. And then I go and spoil the mood totally by asking her where my £2 voucher is! 'We don't do them' she says. 'Funny, that, because I was just reading about their existence on your website this morning' says I. Cue previusly smiling face turning to one that resembles a slapped @rse and handing over of £2 gift card after she's punched the figures into the machine so hard I thought it was going to break.

Moral of story? Seems like it's not just Tesco employees that renege on a clear company policy. I enjoyed the experience so much I'm going to keep popping in on the offchance of more misprices. Next time I'll get several of each and insist on a gift card for each one. Wish me luck.

Well done! Sounds like you found some stores that left up out of date posters and POS. Wonder if they've changed them this week...you should go and check. If they have, know that it's partly (mostly) due to you.

Farhan and I shall be taking another trip to one of our stores 2nite...poster was still up last nite

...just a little warey of that poster though...



it might be possible within store to convince CS...but what if it goes to head office?? not sure head office will be too happy about it

what does it say on your reciept if you have been overcharged when buying a gotw and an xbox 360.....anyone please?

sopplayer

does it take £20 off the game and not the console?

dr_shabzzz

if you've been overcharged it will just give the 2 full ammounts for the game and the console...

wouldn't know what it says on the reciept if the discount WAS applied...as there would be no reciept:p

valid point though if anybody knows

so it wouldn't take £20 off your purchase at all?
thus you have been overcharged and go for r+r
the fight is then on for a r+r on the full package and not just the game....

am i thinking the right way?

shoperholicnot

yes
thats the right way of thinking
