    ;) Now you have to
    :cool: No you dont!
    :D Yes you do

    It is a cottage industry this business of price-collecting.

    '...Sonne says that their assets are obvious. "People with Asperger's can concentrate better. They are more precise," he says. These abilities, he adds, are an advantage in such fields as data control. "Other testers lose interest after the third attempt, and then errors start to creep in. My people are still wide awake after the 10th attempt." '

    That's your answer - the data collector employees are almost certainly not autistic and thus don't do as well a job as I could:p!:D It's a repetitive, long job and, to be fair, people of a more normal brain neurology (in other words those very likely to be in the job) are likely to find it very boring and thus they lose interest and concentration and mistakes creep in. (That's my contention anyway.)

    The failure of the instore price collectors to scan every item when they are instore in Morries.:p (to them not you.)
    Nightmare these doubtless non-autistic workers that get distracted and hold social conversations during 'work' rather than ensuring every single last item is completely and accurately scanned in an effective and completeness manner.:):rotfl:

    ......not the bank holiday mucking up price collections then? :p:D :rotfl:

    So even though it shows as £6 on msm for Ms it doesn't necessarily mean it will compare?

    Sorry - we've posted it now numerous times - price information for Morries is still collected instore.

    (Sometimes this can have its benefits - as mistakes creep in such as the Pepsi cans packs and the Quaker Oats. On other occasions, mistakes occur online only through computer linkage of various words - e.g. the Burger Buns that compared to a much smaller version, the Pork Sausage Rolls that compared to Bread Rolls, that wouldn't be likely to happen under manual in-store collection. (I have enough trouble linking up various bread rolls to instore collection items as it is.) So it can play both ways.) I'm sorry - I probably have more underlying knowledge about this and I'm assuming that others know all that I do. I.e. about the precise way the which the prices are collected for the various stores.

    I've just been looking at Pantene pro v Shampoo's £3.69 or 2 for £4.Seems to be a couple missing from multibuy both on a.com and msm.Might be worth having a look in store because some are £1.84 tosco.

    Hasn't the price already been collected if it's on msm as £6 for Morrisons? I thought the apg used prices on msm?
