Why do you think there are so many glitches in Ts and not the others
I would have thought with Ts being so mahoosive they would have more up to date systems
Or is there just more of us hunting down finds at Ts ?
Do many of us go round scouring shelves at A's like we do at T's?:cool:


Ps one of my local trouts came to see me at a surgery I was doing an extra shift at last week :eek:not sure if she recognised me , neither of us said anything kept if totally professional

Tesco is 2 times the size of sainsburys and I think people are used to tesco slipping up tbh. I bet there's the odd glitch at sainsburys that no one hears off. Whereas if it's tesco it's on here or HUKD in seconds:D

is cos tesco gives us DTD , asda give you £2, sainsbury dont give you anything.

Agreed.

MMW is right - DTD can be a huge incentive for hunting down the glitches/misprices.

But I also think there are far more glitches at T because they have a pricing strategy which is deliberately manipulative - within the space of only a couple of weeks prices or offers on single product lines can change several times. Designed to lull the customer into thinking they are getting a bargain but certainly also makes it much harder for the IT and shopfloor staff to always keep up and get the tills and sels right. Hence the reason that they have the DTD policy in the first place. And as has been pointed out time and time again, T is no slouch in terms of data gathering and interpretation, so taking into account glitchy prices and DTD payouts, Ts will on average come in way ahead.

S and A have much more stable pricing structures and their offers tend to be for longer periods, so easier to maintain pricing integrity.

I agree with this!

Plus on a side point I believe our pricing team instore doing the tickets get enough hours given to them to make sure 99% of the ticket are changed over. We would never have people walking round doing increases on price changes during the day! unheard of. 99% it's decreases as it isn't against the law to charge a lower price than the ticket said.

Did you trout him!!:cool:

:rotfl: No I didn't but that's because he was a gentlemen and apologized straight away before I even had the chance to say Good morning to him :T:T:T

So must have just been a bad day in the office or moaning managers or something.

I will pop in next week and say, sorry but the maths doesn't add up here;) I think I should have been charged X and got charged Y. Though and I would like to put some points. Me and my bad memory:rotfl::rotfl:

Mmw I get solar urticaria and prickly heat
I can't stop itching and come out in a horrible rash in the sun
Plus I'm not known for sitting in one place for too long

My 14yr old has just been diagnosed with cold urticaria, I have been so worried, each time it rains, is windy, she gets wet or goes swimming she breaks out in a rash, feels sick and dizzy then passes out. Went to see specialist last week and thats what he diagnosed , I know its not nice but so glad someone finally told me what it was.
