Tesco single red peppers

Stockton_anchors

Hi whilst in tesco this morning I bought a red pepper which the price said 55 pence each but after weighing it on the scales it came up as 41 pence, when mentioning this to 3 different staff they all gave the answer peppers are not a weighable item, but on the scales it shows red peppers and weighs and prices these....... Bit of a con if you ask me.

If you are forewarned by the big label on the shelf you pick it up from says 55p for a single pepper, in what way is it a con when you are charged 55p for said single pepper?

Cool story Bro!

Its not a con. Peppers are 55p. They charged you 55p

Why you decided to weigh it, I dont know. Why do the scales show red peppers? I dont know.

You queried this confusing aspect with the staff, why am I weighing these peppers and why is it letting me weigh these peppers, and they explained.

Not a con!

Also while I’m at it, if you picked a honking great pepper and it weighed in at 78p, would you have alerted the staff?

Hold on, what came up as 41p?

Methinks it's the troll ...

It's not a bit of a con.
It's not a con at all.

I don't buy single peppers as that is an expensive way (but not a con).
I buy a value pack and menu plan to make sure I use them all up.

1. Did you want a married red pepper?
2. Same for bananas in the papers yesterday, Tesco have switched to per item pricing because they make more money, er I mean it gives the customer more opportunity, er, it's more cost effective er, no I really cannot remember the excuse now!

As everyone else says a pepper isnt a weighable item, I dont know about Tesco but Ive seen them elsewhere with a label on that you scan. I also would like to know what you searched that was 41p.

Different varieties of red pepper perhaps? A Bell pepper (the classic bucket-shaped one) might be a non-weighable item with a bar code but a Romano pepper (the long one) be sold by weight?

I've no idea what Tesco expect but if you pick up a single red pepper, weigh it, print a price label and it says 41p that is what you will get charged at the self service or other till.
