Tesco glitch Stella cans

This is my first time so be kind.

My brother in law came across a find in Tesco today. 30 cans of Stella for £8 rather than £20. How? They had three cases bound together in shrink wrap. Had its own barcode on it for 3x 10x 440ml but came out as £8 at the till.

  • Thats how they come from the warehouse, they hadn't been unwrapped yet, the outer barcode is the same as the one per pack inside.
    He unwittingly stole 2 cases.

    Aye they thought they were getting a bargain, guess they didn't realise. But how many of you would go back and say that they had made a mistake and offer to pay for the other 2 cases. I wouldn't.


    cazza now you have a mazza too :)

    It is not stealing if you pick up a packet of something you want take it to the till and pay the price they tell you, it is the sa's mistake not the customers. Although to intentionally go and this is not right. Some people on this forum are just plain rude!

    'it is stealing' do you think you would get done for stealing if you got caught making this mistake? No! Because it is not stealing.

    Appears to be an honest mistake. Why be so nasty?

    It's a good job you don't have vertigo - sitting far above on your high horse
