Tesco - Misleading or not?

But your original point was that its unclear and that the fact staff dont know the prices proves your point.

No.

It was not that the staff did not know the prices, it was that the staff did not know which items could be grouped without checking.

but if all they need to do is read the label, that is there for the purpose of the customers, then it cant be that unclear

It's not particularly unclear if you know you need to read the label.

Needing to read small print to determine if what you see means what it says means it is not, prima facie, 'clear'.

By your logic, if you had a shelf of goods all marked with stickers saying in 36pt: "£1", and underneath in 4pt: "if you buy 3 items, otherwise £2", that would be 'clear'.

If the supermarket were not in the habit of frequently having products a lot more dissimilar than two types of yoghurt all grouped in the same 3 for 2 offer, your argument might have some legs. The fact this this offer is operating completely differently from the salad, meat, and dips, offers means it doesn't.

Anyway, aside from that little dispute, those yoghurts are currently 2 for £2 at Sainsburys, so you'd save by going there.

That has to be one of the weirdest pieces of logic I have ever seen.

If you need to check something that implies that the first place you check is 'clear'?

I can see absolutely no logical reason why one thing follows from the other.

Not really. They're probably not going to know the exact products off the top of their heads and the ins & outs of every promotion (there's probably thousands of promotions, they aren't going to remember every tiny detail of each promotion). But seeing the labels often list included products they can check that way.

I can understand how this would be confusing. The items included in the promotion are detailed underneath the "Any 2"

Typical Tescos scamming and treating their suppliers, staff and customers like dirt.

so many people who cannot be bothered to read point-of-sale material, it's quite sad really. Or is it that their comprehension skills are so low that they have to have reinforcement from a member of staff to understand what they read in the first place? Anyway OP, now hopefully you understand how shelf labelling works and it won't be a mystery any longer.

That's the polite way of saying learn to read!
