Got 4 boxes of Mingles today, they had the right SELS up in one aisle and the wrong SELS up in another aisle! all put away for xmas.
R&R no problems. £13.XX

Don't forget that lots of wine offers end today, so could potentially be some missed SELs tomorrow :beer:

Scamming is an illegal action...Rand Ring is not......There is a lot of misunderstanding about this....

Please do not mislead others into thinking that RandRing is in any way illegal by using such words as scamming and scam.

As I knew the items would come up as a higher price on the till than displayed on the SEL in my mind it is very clearly scamming.

As I only purchased the items because I knew I would get them for free, morally it is quite clearly a scam.

If you don't think it is scamming when you know in advance, you are kidding yourself and are in denial, be honest and get on and do it.

I think you need to accept the nature of what we do.

Exploiting a policy maybe....but fraudulently obtaining the goods, I dont think so....if that were so, why are Tescos still sending refunds to known RandRers, and not prosecuting anyone for illegally obtaining goods.

This should be on the ethics forum if you want to discuss it further.

I don't want to discuss it !

I mentioned or referred to nothing illegal or fraudulent.

If I know the price will come up wrong on the till before I buy the goods, in my mind I am scamming Tesco's. That is my view, I am happy and comfortable with that.

Please do not reply to this post as there is nothing to discuss.

But you did mention Illegal or fraudulent

The dictionary definition of the word scam is

scam (skăm) Slang.
n.
A fraudulent business scheme; a swindle.

tr.v., scammed, scam·ming, scams.
To defraud; swindle.

Leadhead, the thread is for discussing misprices ! not the policy nor the legalities.

Thanks for your spots Monster.

Scam or Scamming is slang, so they are words used by different people to mean different things. There is no official definitions, it is about common/regional usage. All Scams or Scamming are 'sharp practice', but not all Scams or Scamming are illegal.

The only Troll here is you !

You picked on my original post and then I asked you not to reply to my subsequent post, which you disobeyed.

You post and discuss your R&Rs and I will do the same for mine.
