how about deliberately overcharging?
gordon ramsey books still out there for over 3 weeks
psp games wrongly priced stickers out there for over a month
xbox 360 consoles wrongly priced distribution stands out there for a week(apparently being told not to take them down)
game/cds of the week posters out there for weeks on end)
the list can go on further

I can agree 100%
Got 2 dvds on monday last week... Went back in there saturday and the same dvds were on the shelf and the label had not even been removed. So I got a couple more r&r'd

If stores are so incompetant not to remove the incorrect label / products after they have been notified / had r&r's on, they deserve to be hit.

Setting out to be deliberately overcharged, so that you can exploit a policy is obtaining property by deception. Difficult to prove - and would bring adverse publicity - but illegal none-the-less.

I'm sure Martin had had legal advice regarding this thread. It's still here. I think you are being over-dramatic with your language.

zultan: In case you didn't realise, the banner of the left repeatedly says "CONSUMER REVENGE" in big red capital letters. If you don't like it, don't do it, come here or talk about it. Nobody is forcing you to.

So either go, or put up and shut up.

Hey_Dude

Farewell and adieu to you, fair CS ladies,
Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Dundee,
For we've received orders for to sail back to Asda,
And so nevermore shall we see you again.

Except when you make such big !!!!-ups that double the difference means you actually pay up to take it away. There will still be rich pickings, of that I am sure.

R+r Is Nearly Gone Post Ur Last R+r Misprices Here.
Also Will U Countinu To Shop At Tesco Now

Errrrr. No. Only when Tesco makes it worth my while with high value double the difference.

The newpaper report yesterday in the TellyGraph (sic) said it was ending on the 26th. Another week of free meat Me thinks.

There's plenty of steak out there. Had lots of Organic Rump from Hertfordshire store on Friday - £8.xx on shelf and £11.98 on packet.

Got 3 Lemon & Garlic chooks from Cambs store Friday too. Cambs store was the first I'd seen that had removed the stickers from the Gordon Ramsey books and actually had the right SEL on the shelf.

Coupons all the way for me now, how long before the fun police stop that too though?

Cheapskate, I'd like to challenge you here.

I've been banging out the old chestnut below for months (and so have others).

So far not a single one of the Tesco apologists has put up a counter-argument to it. Fancy a crack at it? Go on, I dare you....



e.g. look at the misprices on Coke and pre-packed meat in all of Tesco's 1000+ stores since the start of this year. It's a biggie! Tens of thousands of people buy Coke and meat from Tesco. Only a tiny fraction of those people got the R+R on it. But the p1sspoor pricing integrity just went on, and on, and on, and more and more customers unknowingly got fleeced.

Summary: Tesco are sitting on millions of pounds which they know has been taken unlawfully and does not belong to them. In the majority of instances they even know who the money belongs to! (assuming it's a minority who always pay by cash and don't have a Clubcard). But they've chosen to keep that money. Even if they were to claim it was a massive logistical task to trace the owners of the money (which I don't think it is, as they successfully target 30+ millon people with personalised Clubcard junk mail), they could give the lump sum to charity, by way of acknowledgement that it's not theirs to keep.

Defend...

Doubt you'll get a reply, can't defend the indefensible...
