Anyways noticed had filled up on the toothpaste that was 2p so decided to get 12 the alert SA noticed them scanning at 2p rang for Superviser had asked me how much said thought 3 for £1 (they actually said 3 for £3) superviser told him put through as 3 for £1 ended up paying £4.12 in end.

    Trouted over the toothpaste:(
    Take the tin opener back hun and then re buy for correct amount. Or go to customer services and tell them it should have been £1, you just might get a gift card if you were right.:)

    Morning all. just a quicky one to reply to AH post.

    AH, I too like J20 ( maybe next meeting, you can smuggle in when we are @ weatherspoon again:D)


    Now re-toothpaste & tin opener.

    You can either return them back & said you have been overcharged or you either claim the overcharged + £2 giftcard. As its their mistake & not yours therefore, you have the right to return the goods.

    Me personally will return both & start again & should the tin opener SEL states £1 let it go thru' as £2 on the way out make a "U" turn to customer service & go collect your £1 + £2 giftcard.

    If the customer service did not volunteer to give you £2 giftcard make sure you said - err where me £2 giftcard for the overcharged?


    OOPS CW beat me to it :P
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    Big mistake adding the toothpaste to shop to compare to S's so not only trouted but messed up APG also think due to way SA entered didn't help shows N/A in all other stores except S's. The 4 he used the barcode these seem to have compared the others he entered as colgate and Qty
