    But you were overcharged by £1.85 so you should have had 2 x £1.85 (£3.70) back, effectively making the bacon FREE!!! :confused:

    Unfortunately, CS have taken you for a ride:naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty: !!!
    well he was lucky to get it on BOGOF
    the fierce CS at my store wasnt having any of it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have found its no point in complaining to hO cos they dont answer u back

    Hi forgetful,
    I agree with you, but its still wrong!!
    I have often wondered if it is a general scam where if tesco CS only give you the difference, do they actually til in DTD and pocket the extra themselves??:confused:
    Perhaps HO should look into these refunds a bit more............
    If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.:whistle:

    My way is Atkins;)

    I mentioned thisb4 , the cs do tend to NOT give u DTD ,and only do so when u ask.
    and the strange thing is they do it straight away after u ask...well in some cases// therefore like u say I think they do pocket the difference themselves when customers dont know or dont ask!!!!!

    Heya everyone,

    I saw the bacon post last night, and went to Tesco today, after getting some petrol! So I walked around the store, then found the DANEPACK bacon, then as I looked at the Shelf Price is said £1.88, then abouce it said 2 for £3.00, then I saw the buy one get one free sticker on it. All looked well UNTIL!!!

    They put up like a mini disclaimer! It said "The 2 for £3 offer overrides the BOGOF sticker on the packaging' - I stood there for a little while, and was wondering what to do, but I swear, that the disclaimer isn't enough, its like a bottle of Lemonade having a 99p sticker on it, but you still get charged £1.09!

    Do you see what I mean? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    Please let us all know the outcome.

    Are Tesco employees on some kind of bonus if they don't pay out correctly ? I had to ask for double the difference.

    This effectively comes down to reasonableness.

    If the disclaimer is large enough to get noticed by the casual shopper, then the store is "probably" OK. HOWEVER, I feel that each packet should have the label removed.

    I have just been thinking (difficult), that this is a Tesco Mis-price thread. Why is there not a Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Somerfield, Waitrose, Marks and Spencer, Co-op etc., Mis-price thread? Is it only The English Supermarket COmpany that makes mistakes????

    Your conscience has kicked in LOL ,generally AFAIK most other supermarkets refund you the difference only.
    I think ASDA offer a £2 gift voucher per item and the difference back(please anyone to help as I've never been o/c in ASDA.)
    I think it's safe to say that Tescos are the biggest offenders as they're the biggest supermarket.

    p.s. It's nice to get a reward for doing their job for them :D :rotfl: :D

    You are correct with your ASDA statement. If they charge you too much they will refund you the difference AND give you a £2 gift card. Great if you buy something for under a pound and they overcharge you by 1p.
