Yuh but my boss is telling me we are taking advantage of other people mistakes.

Somebody gonna get sack because of this glitch, and I shouldn't stoop so low as to that.
It is immoral , and I really do not want to be immoral and be a bad example to my child!

Can somebody give some strong point , I am kinda sway now

It is certainly not immoral. If Tesco do not have the correct procedures in place to make sure this thing does not happen, how are we to know that they do not want to sell these items for this price? I have certainly paid even sillier prices for items from Tesco in the past when they have had a sale.

They are a supermarket reknown for doing offers and deals - Buy one get Two free - as an example.

Yes someone could have got fired for this - but it shouldn't be the person who did the updates, it should be the person who designed the procedures for doing the updates that allowed these mistakes to happen - an I am sure they get paid enough not to worry about them.

If we all thought of ethics and morals, then no one would work for Tescos or shop their. THe damage they have done to this country through hammering prices paid to farmers down to levels where they can't make any money from farming, through to decimating thousands of small, local businesses, when they open a large supermarket in a town where people don;t actually want it.

So tell you "moral" boss to hand in his notice, as he obviously wouldn't want to work for an Immoral company, and when he has done you will return all the cheap items for a refund to clear your conscience.

You've done nothing wrong.

Just added up what full price of all my stuff would have been - £775.00!
Also paid with some DTD vouchers and Gift Cards ( dtd ones) so actually money spent only about £50.00. I have never had a proper set of pans or knives in my life. Thanks again Mr T

same here, my lot should have been £440 and only paid £18 hard cash (£60 dtd gift cards:D)

What about all the times they misprice items which customers don't pick up on and they make a profit. I once checked my receipt and was charged 7.77 for butter. When I pointed it out the cashier was surprised and said she had sold lots that morning and no one had noticed. Are tesco stealing then? And do they find all those people and give them their money back? Moreover, do they sack the person who made the error?

Why does he feel the need to emotionally bully you? As a responsible adult you make the choices and judgements in your familly and what is good for your children. It is harmful to bring them up to a life of excess with no responsibility for finances, and it is harmful to live to excess and put yourself in debt. Finding a way to be money savvy and live within your finances is what the whole country needs right now.

Yes there will be errors, humans are after all human, and taking ridiculous advantage by buying in bulk and selling on ebay could be considered by some to be stealing, but buying a set of pans or a block of knives at the price stated is not.

Slightly off topic but I'm hoping there are a few on here that could help push this forward. There's a piece of software that MSE could implement on these forums called Tapatalk. Tapatalk is a lovely way to view forums on your smartphone e.g. Android or iPhone. Instead of trying to view these forums on a browser, you can get a better display as it's been designed for phones. I use this application on my Android phone for a parenting forum and it allows me to quickly access threads and see if there are any updates and if there are, read them quickly.

When these grabbits happen it's so hard to try and keep up when you're trying to read it on a phone so last night I resorted to phoning my mum to try and match what I was seeing in store with what the thread updates were saying.

If anyone on here is interested, please bump this thread and maybe MSE will push forward with either Tapatalk or another mobile option.

And another thing, how many different staff at how many different stores put the white SEL's on the shelves in the first place?

Did not one of them think

"blimey, this saucepan was over £20 and now it's less than a fiver, but it's not on an yellow offer SEL, maybe somethings wrong?"

As they put out the lower SEL's for 50+ products on one aisle?

and make a call to Head Office and report it?

I know when I did this job as a student in Morrisons I would have done. Would have got a massive pat on the back and saved the company a load. My boss would have been well pleased!

If all these TEsco staff thought it was correct, then why would it be wrong as a customer or a member of staff on another dept to think so?
