How do you get away with this, at my store if the kids so to the self serve tills, a) there is always a massive queue and b) probably because of a) they get told they aren't allowed to scan things and use the tills? Everytime I take things to the proper tills and ask how much is that all the time on the offchance that something might be drastically cheap and then the check out staff say they cant sell it. I once had one who said "they are marked up at £??" as if she's thinking "why ask!?!?"

I did wonder if there was a way of scanning in the store before the tills, like some cheaper stores have the scanners on the aisles dont they?

They go to the self scanner - they thought it was great fun! :rotfl:

well i am chuffed to bits, thanks to everyone that posts. when everyone was getting baby bargains i raced out but everything scanned at full price so i didn't know if i should bother again but i went tonight and got a great haul. DS is always invited to lots of parties so guess what everyone will be getting moon dough lol left some on the shelves but i got

moon dough £2.00 only had the ocean one Sel £9.97
baby carrier £12.47 sel £24
winnie the pooh lightshow £10 sel £20
glow monitor £12 sel £49
and best bargain ever Lindam bed rail 60p yes you read that right 60p:eek: should be £25
the SA thought she hadn't scanned it and kept saying 60?

Then i got quite a few nice bits of children's clothing too

I saw the Toy Story toy soldiers at Sl0ugh yesterday but didn't need them so didn't even bother scanning them. They had quite a few on the top shelf with the other Toy Story stuff. HTH

They were scanning full price last week, maybe they have different barcodes? I shall try tomorrow hehe.

No it isn't theft. Shops aren't allowed to oversticker with a higher price. In every shop I've ever worked in that uses labels whenever there's been a price rise I've had to scrupulously remove all evidence of the lower price including any offending barcodes before sticking the new price on.

My local stickers over the barcodes with higher pricing! I just went in there today and they have a few items which scan cheaper at other stores, thought my luck was in when I saw the crayola sets (scanned at £2 previously in other stores) - but they had them in a reduced section with yellow stickers on. They were reduced from full price but still £8.50. :eek:
