    I'm so embarrassed. Got my first 1p item today, well nearly! I picked up 2 of the truffles (after searching through the aisles and referring back to the forum). The first one scanned through. The second one beeped on the screen, the assistant came to enter her log in. She noticed the 1p sign on screen and reacted saying 'what 1p?' and walked off with both. I was there for ages. A manager came and took them. The assistant said they were supposed to be taken the back. There was no communication from the manager, no apology from the assistant (especially after keeping me waiting). Everyone just looked on. I then felt obliged to go back and buy a full priced choc. And, noticed the manager taking all the truffles off the shelf. I was red in the face and felt humiliated.

    Don't feel humiliated - get even. Similar thing happened to me but I got back to the shelf before they did, cleared the shelf and moved them, I wonder if they have found them yet! Then went to another store and picked up a basket full without the yellow labels. Tescos latest lack lustre financial results reflect their attitude and arrogance.
  • Woohoo! Got my first 1p item. I found 11 bags of the Lindor mini eggs on those hanging mid aisle thingys. They had a SEL stating 2 for £3 but I thought I would try one on the scanner and they came up at 1p. They have been floating round for ages but I've always left them because of the label.

    Goes to show; there could be that 1p item in all our stores after all.

    I hide the rest before I go thru ss as well. Just in case they try to remove em if I get stopped at the till.
