Ouch, that's gotta hurt, but enjoy the original champers! :beer:

Yes it does hurt..

The original misprice was discovered accidently by *flutterby* when she was at a CS desk.

A scribbled on receipt was noticed, written on it something like Lanson Black, overcharge £20.78.

*flutterby* posted this on the mis price only thread, which I noticed.

Over a week later and after going to over 20 stores I finally spotted it ....twice.......6 bottles each time.....with no hassle.

Yesterday I noticed the price was still £20.78 in 6 stores.

Little did I realise that the tills had been update to charge £21.74.

Although I had had a snippet of info on this from the misprice thread, I must'nt have taken it in, and because of this lapse...missed out on 36 bottles.

Its quite alright to go for 6 of these at a time, as Tescos actively promote this, by offering a case discount on 6 bottles.

You win some................You win some more later....

Keep an eye out though, some stores may still have the cheaper £20.78 SEL in place......

(off topic, apologies!)

Many moons ago my college lecturer was called Mike Hunt. Totally true story; we had a rather lovely French exchange student at the college who had been 'assigned' to our Mr Hunt and tended to pester him quite a lot. She knocked on the lecture room door one day and, observing that Mr Hunt was nowhere to be seen, asked the class in her sexy French accent:

'Anyone seen Mike Hunt?'

'Unforunately not, Miss Favre' I opined.

I was 18 at the time, I still get all hot and bothered when I think about it now.

To be hoped that MR T has some R&R stain remover !! As there goes another pair of trousers !:rotfl:

Hey_Dude

Ok - the next 3 posts by His Dudeness are for newbies - for you veteran R&Rers I apologise - I've posted these hints before and most of what follows - I would imagine - is old news for you Dudes.

I hope what follows helps you Dudes - and that you become welcome and productive members of this superb fourm.

How about R. R. Freely?

Nice one. :rotfl: Or Miss Price?

Hey_Dude

#1 - The Gotcha - This is the least contentious mis-price - you have the Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits with a £1.98 sticker on and you are charged £19.99 - easy pickings - even the nastiest Customer Service staff will find it difficult to argue against this one – although your taste in music is $^*&”)$*.

#2 - Quality Meat - This covers mis-priced per kg SELs - usually meat - often cheeses and so on - your kangaroo joint has a SEL of £9 a kg - on the pack it is £10 a kg - you may have to give the CS staff a lesson in mental arithmetic dyslexia - and point to "the shelf" bit in the Price Promise - but you will get some joy.

#3 - The Time Traveller - Out-of-date crispy duck is no good for you - but out-of-date SELs are always handy - look for goods with a yellow SEL - check the expiry date - if it was last night/week/year then you could be in - check the price and you may be in - some caution - sometimes goods have not changed in price – but particularly good spots for mobiles & cameras.

#4 - The Special Offer - this covers extra advertising away from any stickers or SELs - "all XBOX games under £30" and the like - if you find one for £30.99 you have a mis-price - also check the repeating TV adverts in Extra stores - you may see Tomb Raider 7 - Laura's Melons at a lesser price – but you do have a mis-price - but you will undoubtedly face an uphill struggle with CS as you argue your case - worth a punt!

#5 - We Don't Go Outside - when Tesco run big promotions - '50 cans of Carlsberg for £10 and your sister traded in' - they will sometimes put up big signs outside - pay attention - outside the store. Check these out the day after said promotion finishes - sometimes the outside signs are still in place - grab yourself a pallet of beer, argue with CS and check into AA in a couple of day’s time………..

Have fun Dudes - and remember to report your findings on the mis-price thread!

Hey_Dude

...Everything You Wanted to Know About Scanning But Were Afraid To Ask........

What Is the Scanner? It's a handy price checking device - you scan the barcode of a product and it shows you the price the product will scan at.

Where Is the Scanner? This link will give a list of scanner locations for many stores.

Still Can't Find the Scanner Dude? Most Tesco stores have at least one scanner - Extra stores often have two - popular locations include clothing, pharmacy and pet food aisles.

Remember that the scanners require power (duh!) so check the walls and pillars as this is the easiest way for an engineer to run a power cable to the beastie.

If you can't find it quick! - Ask a member of staff - to avoid asking any CS staff on walkabout try one of the staff doing a tesco.com shop or a shelf stacker.

What Can I Scan? Everything Dude! A can of baked beans - an xbox - even a Dyson - just find the barcode on the item and lug it over to the scanner!

Won't I look suspicious? Probably not - it's easy to feel paranoid when you are price checking - but to be honest staff are busy doing their jobs! The only problem could be if you scan something under the nose of a CS member of staff - just 'check your six' before you scan and don't look too guilty. Don't worry about CCTV - these are looking for shoplifters not R&Rers!

Scanner is Broken? The collective wisdom of this forum is that there is no Tesco conspiracy to break scanners - they will eventually get repaired - it's just not a top priority for Tesco stores - feel free to report a broken scanner to CS staff or Head Office.

Scanner Says No? I think you mean Scanner Says 'Contact a member of staff' - this is not unusual - scan the item a number of times in quick succession and you will usually get a price.

Just remember to post your finds on the Misprice Thread!

Yet another offensive sweeping statement insulting over 100,000 people in one foul swoop.

Taxiphil, yes you have your little axe to grind, yes you have a grudge....give the insults a rest, it does not make you look good, not all staff at store level are sewer rats - the vitriol is getting boring now.

Fair point, and that was a bad call on my part. I was using the term "sewer rats" to describe some of the characters I've dealt with at Tesco, but I totally accept there are some saints working for the company who don't deserve to be tarred with the same brush. Sorry.
