Burton - Putting up price of cardigan
pimento
Posts: 6,243 Forumite
I went into Burton on Friday and saw a cardigan I thought Mr.P would like. It was £46.00.
I went back today to buy it and the price labels had all been altered to read £48.00. They'd torn off the corregated price from the bottom of the label and put a new price sticker on.
Now, I know they're within their rights to do it, but even their web site still says £46.00 (the don't have the size I want though). It's a bit sneaky though.
Whe I paid at the till I bent the ear of the cashier who then sold me a store card so I saved £4.80 anyway, but Gah!
Be warned peoples. :mad:
Here is is if you're interested;

The cardigan had a label on that said €67 £46 on Friday. In the shop.
Some of the old £46 signs had been scrubbed out with magic markers."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0
