Asda Kippers Rip-off

Options
Was about to cook my kipper breakfast this morning, when I noticed the label saying "Tuna" and £4.
I bought a pair of kippers and it looks like the wrong label has been applied.
I rang Asda this morning and they told me to return item together with receipt.
This is okay but only problem is it is 4 miles away.
What can I expect in return?

    You can expect your £4 back. It's hardly London to Edinburgh is it? And it'll take less than a couple of hours to walk there and back. Excellent exercise.

    Now stop moaning, stop expecting to get back more than you paid for it, and get your boots on!

    Oh dear, who got out of the wrong side of bed today?

    Would love to be able to walk (period).

  • They were bought in-store.

    The minimum you will get is your money back and a £2 gift-card for being charged wrongly. You may have to push for the gift-card as all stores are not the same!!
    Hopefully they'll give you a £10 gift-card for your inconvenience due to an error (we all make them) made.

    If they are labelled as Tuna what made you think they were kippers? I'm confused (not always difficult though ;))
    It's someone else's fault.

    In what conceivable way is this a "rip-off"?

    I think the OP has bought kippers from the fresh fish counter, but the assistant when packaging them up has wrongly printed out the label as it being tuna (and therefore presumably the price barcode is higher than it should have been)

    Because people like over-reacting and dont understand that everyone can make mistakes

    Thanks, makes sense now.
