    There is two possibilities here.

    1) allstar is full of sh*t with regards to this "list" which was produced. Why the hell would tesco staff show it to people.

    2) Tesco are so stupid, that even though they know the xbox is mispriced, they still wouldn't change it.

    I really don't know which one is most plausible.
    i agree with you because surely if they had a list and x box was at the top then it wouldnt be mispriced COMMON SENSE SURELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    maybe beacuse the member of staff doing it had become was ill and had to go home, maybe a family member had died and they had to go home, maybe they had been run over on the way to work
    Then Tesco should employ more than one poor soul to update every price in the store. They have my sympathies, if this situation had/has ever arisen, but I fail to see how this person's plight has any effect on Sir Terry's profits.

    If they asked you if you knew the price was wrong before giving you a refund, would you say yes? Or, would you lie to somebody to benefit yourself and claim you did not know about this.
    Tescos produced a TV ad a while ago. It was the mad old woman they have, going into a Tescos store actively looking for misprices.

    Let me ask you a question: How often DO you troll? Get back to the ethics board. :angry:

    They offered me the difference but I tried my luck and mentioned the sign behind the desk.

    While I stood and waited for managers to help me I could tell something was not right and it now makes sense to me, they thought I had previous knowledge about this scam and had gone there with the intention of getting it for free.

    and I suppose you've never read this thread up until now? :rotfl:

    You sure found us quick enough.

    Really don’t know what else to say, I am stunned that you feel this is right.

    Guys- obviously a troll or plainly someone looking for attention

    I AGREE WITH YOU SURELY IF THEY HAD A LIST WITH XBOX AT THE TOP IT DEFINATELY WOULDNT BE MISPRICED AS IT WOULD BE TOP ALERT COMMON SENSE SURELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sorry but if I had a piece of paper on my desk which said check the price of Xboxes as we are overcharging on them I would be straight out there to check the price.(or to buy one myself LOL)

    As someone who was a price controller for Sainsbury's I feel it is disgusting that a staff member didn't do their job properly, and openly allowed Tesco's PLC to overcharge a member of the public.

    If HO need to use this site to identify misprices then so be it, but at least provide staff the opportunity to check those prices. That way we would not even be having this discussion.

    I bet constantine didn't get hit for any xboxes today?
    We took on Mr T and we won:D

    Shame it had to end, will have to get free stuff from comps now :beer:
