Boots Victoria Station

Last night I purchased an item from Boots in Victoria Station.

This item normally costs £13.99 in "normal" branches and is on offer at the moment on the Boots website.

The price? £15.40!!! 10% markup :mad:

Is this the case in all train station branches? Where else? Airports?

    Pretty sure stations generally cost more. BK in Waterloo charge a fair bit extra on their food too.
  • Train stations generally cost more for pretty much everything.

    Which is the one thing that I have always liked about KFC is that their prices seem to always be the same even at service stations.
