Tesco misprice discussion area part 16

Nenen

Not sure about this one as I hadn't quite got the time (or more importantly the courage) to try it but hope this might help someone or that someone could advise me if this might be a R&R to try for a nervous first timer!:o

Saw bottles of a nice sparkling white wine (Codorniu Brut Reserva Cava) should be £8.99 yellow SEL says half price £4.49. Now I know the white one does go through at the lower price (I bought one to test) but there is a pink Codorniu Brut Reserva Cava of the same label next to to the white on the shelf with a white SEL saying £8.99. I don't know if the pink one goes through at full price or not but if not it could be argued that the yellow SEL applies to both pink and white as it doesn't specify which. Presumably that might make it an R&R.
Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks Leadhead!

Just as a side note - what's the deal with all the bickering in here?

I tried to look in the thread before posting my query but just gor bored with all the playground trash talk!!!

Must admit..."Guilty as charged"

Unfortunately peoples different personalities and opinions are sometimes hard to control.

Some people are Trolls....just post to cause agro.

Others cant resist feding these trolls(including me at times)

Sometimes it gets very heated.

A lot of the time, its a brilliant thread with input from both sensible and experienced RandRers and similar natured Tesco managers and employees.

There is another thread for posting misprices only(no discussion)....here

Please forgive me - I am new to this board, I only became aware of the 'R&R' policy at Tesco today!! (never knew it existed!!!).....

Some quick questions:-
1) When you purchase your mispriced product and pay at the till - is it best to then go to customer services (instore) or can you ring them up (CS) and explain the misprice??

2) when at the cs desk - is it best to mention their r&r policy to them or act 'innocent'?, what if they still refuse to give the r&r?

3) How do you know that a product will scan at a higher price? is it best to get products with stickers on them that show a lower price but clearly state on the SEL a high price? When it shows a high 'SEL' and sticker label is showing a lower price - will this always scan as a misprice???

- nb what is OOD?

I hope that makes sense (sorry for sounding thick!!) would be grateful for any replies to clear things up. THANK YOU!!!

1) I always used to try to go to the car and then return, nowadays I cant be bothered and just walk along the back of checkouts checking my receipt. Never go home as the price will be gone by the time you ring up!!

2) Act inocent, but keep lookin at teh blue board, and let them see you reading it!!!

3) there is no guarantee, sometimes, it will scan correct in one store but not another. If it scans right either par and take it back later or forget your wallet

So what do the white and yellow labels signify??

Is this yellow SEL a larger 'promotional' type SEL rather than the normal sized price label?

White are normal price labels, Yellow is when an item is on special offer

Ah well, nothing like some friendly banter! hee hee. I sometimes like playing devils advocate myself so if you see Scoobacow posting you'll know to blame Aquapanther!

Do the Tesco employees post mistakes they've noticed too?

probably sound silly - but can you still use your clubcards ?? do they not take details if you r+r??
Is it best to pay goods by cash or card?? does it matter......am I thick??(YES!!) sorry - just need to know every little details before I join the 'R&R club'!!

The one I saw was just a normal size (approx 10 x 4 cm) attached to the shelf. It was directly in front of the bottles of white wine but could have applied to the pink ones next to it... bit dodgy but an expert might be able to do it!

Do not, I repeat do not use your Clubcard. HO can trace everything you do with your CC. I always ty to pay cash. Some stores take your address others dont.
