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

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.)0 -

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?: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.0 -

Such lovely things to look forward to :eek:

Your comment reminded me of this episode of Eerie, Indiana where a family were locked up in big Tupperware containers to sleep!:eek:

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.0

Hasn't the price already been collected if it's on msm as £6 for Morrisons? I thought the apg used prices on msm?0
