How much have you saved by checking receipts?

What are you on about? Haven't you got anything better to do?

Thanks for posting! If you have been overcharged, you can claim double the difference back through customer service desk if at Tesco. It would be appreciated if you post the misprice on the grabbit board so that others can also benefit from the DTD policy too!

I realised that but thought it would be 'common sense' to put it elsewhere as well on the offchance other people don't scan the whole forum. Just trying to help - won't bother in future.

I see you're having difficulty in understanding another poster.

Let's see - who is the common denominator here?
Oh yes - that'll be YOU then, ljandk.

For reference - from another thread:

Good, don't bother in future.

Goodness me!

My post was very polite and positive. I have even thanked both of your posts.

Checking out all of your post history reveals that every one is an instance of your taking offence where none was meant.

I appreciate your opening this thread as others no doubt do but please don't be so quick to feel slighted. It really is quite unnecessary.

I thought that Tesco had stopped doing double-the-difference but, after numerous over-charging incidents at my new local Tesco, I've started asking for DTD - and they are giving it to me.

I don't leave the store until I've checked every single item.

I don't know if it's just my local Tesco or all stores but I seem to spend lots of time at Customer Services with my receipt.

Errors range from different amounts on receipt/shelf label, not being given offers e.g. spring onions 84p per pack/£1.00 for 2 and offers ending but still being displayed.

I absolutely agree that one should check the receipt before leaving the store and sort out any anomolies there and then. If you have, as I do, a 25 mile round trip to the supermarket then that is the only way to deal with it. I have also been overcharged three times in one week at my local store for items which show different shelf prices and till price. Hardly anyone seems to check their receipt or the change given which just shows what a low regard people seem to have for their own money!

Our local tescos still have the big blue board up behind the desk. 2 thirds of the way down is the double the difference promise. I can't see them taking the board down so as long as it is displayed, they are duty bound to honour it !

The woman on CS last time was a real piece-of-work.

I'd bought a fair bit of stuff (enough to fill my old-lady-style trolley as our shop is within walking distance) including some salad items and notriced that although aubergines had a big sticker on '2 for £1' I'd been charged the full price 80p each.

I'd also bought 2 packs of vine tomatoes £1.40 or 2 for £2 & 2 packs of spring onions 84p each or 2 for £1 which had gone through correctly and were shown as multi buys on the bottom of my receipt.

When I showed her what I'd been overcharged for she asked to see the tomatoes.
Why? I'm hardly likely to have scanned them and paid for them and not put them in my bag.

She then asked to see the spring onions.

By this time I was getting a tad fed up with her as I'd carefully packed my trolley so things wouldn't get squashed.

She finally got to the aubergines and said 'What do you say these should be?'.
I replied 'I think that big sticker that says they should be 2 for £1 says it all really, don't you?'

She huffed and puffed and at that stage I asked if they'd stopped doing DTD and she said 'in this case I can let you have DTD'.

I'm going to ask every time from now on.
