Looks like ASDA are clean out of arithmetic.



So it is not just TESCO staff that are both illiterate and innumerate.  They can't unambiguously state what I will receive; they can't add a column of figures.
I can guess what is likely to turn up - but why should I have to !
EDIT: Oh, and the receipt has just turned up - different, but still wrong.
And why £42.1 not £42.10  ???
SNAFU - yet again.

    Well it’s obviously not individual staff that are illiterate and innumerate, but a computer error, which you should take up with Tesco and Asda.
