Hi can anyone list where the 'new' home plus stores are located?
I have heard that they are normally rich pickings and want to try my luck?
I cannot seem to be able to find them on the net!

Thanks for help

C'mon. how do YOU a poor Tesco shopper KNOW that a SEL is incorrect!?

In fact it doesn't matter worth a toss if its incorrect. All that matters is that when you approach CS that your receipt shows a higher amount than can be traced back to te SEL at that point in time. I have argued this with a Tesco manager who informed me that "he didn't know how that SEL got there".

I had quite a battle at one store on this issue re the Coca Cola. The (white) SEL showed the price as £6.95. However, under that in smaller letters was the line "PM # £6.95" or something very similar. The store stated that this label actually means that the price of £6.95 ONLY APPLIES to packs actually marked at £6.95 which the old stock was. Therefore, they say, the packs marked at £7.25 are correctly priced. (the old packs were scanning correctly at the lower price)

I argued that as a customer I cannot be expected to know what the small print on the labels means and R&R was eventually successful.

The C.S. lady (very pleasant) was left to front-up to me while scurrying away between times to speak to a manager who wouldn't come & talk to me himself.


On a slightly different subject I read some time back that it's always best to accompany the c.s. person back to get the label. My wife found a definate r&r on some meat and actually saw (from a distance) the c.s. girl remove the offending yellow SEL and disappear 'out the back' to return without it and deny it was ever there.

That, in my book, is total dishonesty by a staff member. If you're in a town in the south east beginning with A which has 2 stores, (not the Crooksfoot one) beware of a young lady named N-k-. However, she is not as clever as she thinks as my wife demanded a refund which she got, but the c.s. didn't notice that a £5 voucher had been used - net gain £5. Maybe the manager of that store is on the forum ???

I think it should be made public that Tesco are regularly overcharging it's customers, Do you think they will run a new advert, it could go along the lines of,,

"We know we are going to overcharge you on lots of things, but we lose so much money to the people who actually notice that we have decided to just give you double the difference"

Imagine if the papers got hold of this!!!!

Personally speaking, I will now be doing the majority of my shopping at Asda (OK, it's almost as bad at Tescos at carrying out clearly defined company policy, but it is demonstrably cheaper). I will now only 'hit' Tesco when there is a decent chance of getting back more than I paid for the item with the double the difference', like some of the DVD misprices etc. And I won't be buying any other shopping to 'disguise' the overcharge, either. In effect, they will probably lose even more money on me in a year.

Not really misprice related but my wife has just noticed that some margerine/butter i bought instore last week had a best best before date of the 16th of jan?

I am going back tonight to see if its still on the shelves and if so i will create merry hell especially as we use this on toast fingers for our baby...

Just wondered if anyone knows of any crime they have commited/laws they have broken?

Repeat post - other one lost??

A friend of mine works for a sign writing/printing company and he mentioned to me they had a big job on for 1300 signs for tesco. I asked him more and he had a look next day and told me it was a Customer Services notice with a big long list of stuff on it about quality, returns etc. This made me sit up and listen, and after explaining the R&R thing to him he went in and checked them out to find that the 'Fi things don't add up' bit had been changed to say 'we will give you twice the difference back' (I think this is what ASDA do?).

Some of us have already gone, but i dont think this will be permitted to continue either.

Ps..it isnt fraud..........Coupons accepted by Tescos are then legal tender, we offer them, they are accepted.

correct my tescos policy is one coupon per item(BUT ALL TESCOS HAVE DIFFERENT COUPON POLICIES), so if i buy 50 items and hand over 50 coupons and pay pence for my shopping(which i do) i have no qualms about it. All tesco do is offset that coupon to someone has actually bought the product and they get paid a handling fee. I will continue to shop at tescos purly and simply because of their coupon policy. I dont want to pay for my shopping anymore with bank notes, im happy to (and tescos is happy) for me to "pay" in paper coupons.
I also take advantage of the health and beauty coupons, quit packs and health ones.
The R and R i chose to take advantage of twice, to me its a lot of hard work looking for misprices, when i get my shopping for next to nothing anyway

The Tescos I go to had "Cant believe its not butter", 500g sized tubs are around 86p (or thereabouts), but a hah-uuuge 1kg tub was £1, even tho they'd restocked the shelf with the offer the "sorry out of stock" notice was covering the deal completely.... until i prodded it aside

Noticed that the shelf with the half sized tubs several had been taken, compared to only a couple of the offer ones, no doubt because ppl didnt see the price.
