iPod touch 8GB - Currys pricing error?

Hi all,
I popped into Currys today to pick up an 8GB iPod touch for my OH's birthday. Currys have the £25 iTunes voucher at the moment, and seemed like the best deal at £189.
However, when I went to the till the total came up as £164 - i.e., £25 less than the advertised price. The woman on the till didn't seem to know what she was doing, but she called her supervisor over and he had a (very) quick look at the screen and confirmed it all looked right, then went away again.
So, not sure if this was just an operator error that turned out to be really lucky for me, or whether this is in all stores, but I thought I'd mention it. Mine was bought in the Edinburgh Fort Kinnaird store.
If anyone can translate Currys receipts and thinks it would be helpful to put up a photo of mine, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Cheers
Barry

They more than likely hadn't known about adding the £25 on for the 'Free' iTunes card.

Reading that, I thought it best to check the £25 iTunes card is working. It isn't. Looks like it hasn't been activated. Looking at the receipt, I can't see it on there either. Ah well.0 -
I work for Dixons Retail and yes they should have added the £25 itunes to top up the price to £189.0
