Co-op warning!

My wife's just returned from our local co-op and she's furious (again) so I thought I'd better mention their frequent practice of over-pricing here.
They're offering 3 fruit juices for £3 but, not for the first time, the till somehow forgot this and charged her £3.72!
My grandson caught them out on a similar offer last year (at a different co-op shop). They apologised and refunded every time but these mistakes must be highly profitable ...
So, although I've got no axe to grind with the co-op, just be sure to check your till receipts!

    The Co-op have a habit of doing that.

    My local one overcharged me four visits on the trot. I emailed their head office to complain but got no answer. So thanks East of England Cooperative Society for your non-existent customer service.

    Why is she still going? Time for your missus to vote with her feet.

    It's just not the Co-op who do this, I shop in a variety of supermarkets & think it's happened at some time or another in most of them. I now check my receipts before leaving the store to save having to go back to get my refund.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
