Mispriced goods Selfridges foodhall

I was in Selfridges yesterday, they had King scallops in shell, label said £4/kg. I said 'is that £4/kg?'. They said 'No, it's £4 each, they made a mistake', and then took the label away.

Is that wrong?

    Wrong in what sense? Wrong that they didn't sell you the goods at £4/kg? No.

    It sounds like it, or they wouldn't have taken the label away :P

    Seriously though, No, no it isnt.

    Quite the opposite, they are acting responsibly by rectifying the mistake as soon as it was brought to their attention.

    I got the impression they were already aware of it.

    sounds less 'wrong' and more 'mistake'
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
