    yes the John Frieda glitch was brilliant and hilarious because tesco staff were using every trick in the "Tescoism" book to prevent anyone buying it..still got a loft full :T

    can i just ask in case for future glitches (seem to be every other week lately:D) do tesco staff have to sell you the product if they realise there is a glitch on or can they refuse at their own discretion???

    its just that my neice was refused with the recent milk glitch and was told our family were trying to "rip off" tesco (a few different members of our family had already been in bu not her) she never bothered complaining although i did suggest she did

    They don't have to sell you anything. Your power comes in once they have sold it you. If you've paid for it, and they accepted the payment, then there's no backing out.
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

    Instore DTD is still valid and running (If you are overcharged the price on the shelf in Tesco, you get double the difference back Inc promo/multibuys etc), The Asda DTD has now stopped and has been replaced by RTD (Refund/Return the difference)

    And me. Does anyone remember the gammon joints a couple of Xmas's ago. They were on offer at £22.00 each ( they were finest ones qweighing about 3 kilos) but there was also a buy two with extra discount thing that actually made them free. Myself and my family all had one and I told quite a few people in store too. And I remember the days of H & B too. Dont you just love how useless Tesco are?

    another question,
    anyone know if these glitches are human error or originate from the computer prices

    there seem to be so many they can't all surely be due to human incompetence, if it is a true computer glitch hopefully there will be many more to look forward to!

    (non alcoholic and vegan items pls tesco if you're reading!! and not in the middle of the night while my OH is away!!)
