Tesco misprice discussion area part 17

Special Purchase

No, only the end of the barcode is different (the bit that indicates price). The first 6 digits indicate the product and will be identical on all packs of the same product.

the different barcodes shouldnt really make a difference we talk english here i inderstand the end bit has a different code to do with price but when consumers go shopping they read the product in english not by looking at barcodes we r human not scanners

Unless it was clearly filled in the wrong place (not clear in your first post), then in my opinion yes, it would not be an r & r.

I know that. That is why I said technically.

I'll rephrase.

If it was filled in the wrong place, so that the more expensive item was displayed with the lower price and had an identical or virtually identical description, I would refund.

If it was not filled in the wrong place and had the correct price indication, despite there being an other product with an identical or virtually identical description at a lower price elsewhere, I would not refund.

Tricky, aint it? That's one of the reasons I said at the start that I hate these kind of promotions.

In those circumstances I would use my judgement to make a decision.
