Very Expensive Lettuce at Lidl

queen_vi

I keep a small purse in my handbag and if I get over charged put the money in you would be surprised how much it was in one weeks the highest I got charged extra was £14.00 .I always check now.

Thanks for pointing this out.  I bought a chrsitmas jumper there the other week, ticket said £7.29 and when I later looked on the receipt it was £8.99.  I didn't bother going back as I was in a rush, but it does make you wonder how many mistakes are made

As far as I recall £7.29 was the Lidl Plus price. You have to scan their app to get the reduction.

Wow £95  (even the Dutchy Organic lettuce is only £2-ish).

i once paid £40 for a portion of  "chips in gravy" -----> family get together and the elders paid for everyone else's takeaway.

Good on you for checking and speaking up 👍

Not sure if serious. 

1 = See image attached (currently Dutchy Organic Lettuce prices as Waitrose)

2 = i was with my brother and sister and we agreed to pay for the whole families takeaway and we agreed the "adults" would share the cost  (i only ate "chips in gravy") 

3 = My comments back to the OP "Good on you for checking and speaking up" 👍    ARE genuine 

4 = The OP thanked me for my comment

5 = OP did not question what i wrote 

6 = i was making a light hearted comparison about the price of lettuce, the other was a personal anecdote and i'm  genuinely backing the OP for checking the bill. 

7 = i shouldn't have to explain anything

8 - What was it specifically that you thought was not serious (please justify yourself and explain your comment)

I am not paid by Tesco to be checkout staff.  I not only get to have a conversation with the checkout staff but also with customer services.  Otherwise I may have no interaction with any one for days.

If you'd rather the interaction then go for it, but I never get the 'I'm not paid to work check out' argument. Once upon a time, staff would pick the items off the shelves for you, bag them and hand them over rather than customers picking from around the store themselves. You're also not paid to be a shelf picker or a bagger, but no one seems to have an issue with those. This is just another advancement in how stores are run more lean.

But you paying £40 for chips in gravy, as you keep saying, wasn't a pricing error was it?

@BethRobinson

No. 
But what's wrong with saying to the OP  "Good on you for checking and speaking up"

If you want to get yourself involved, why are you focusing on just a small part of the overall post?

Thanks for the detailed reply, especially #7. 

I could comment on a few bits but £40 for chips and gravy was priceless. A close 2nd was praising the OP for checking and speaking up after being charged £95 for a lettuce.

+1 to this.

I only do a small shop, fits into my shopping trolley, but I use self service tills as I can check prices as the item goes through and can pack at my leisure.

There you go again. Hand picking bits out and trying to put your own narrative on them, rather than taking the post as a whole.
I already explained one was a light hearted comparison about the price of lettuce, the other was a personal anecdote but you chose to ignore that. 
How dare you suggest anything other than my comments to the OP were genuine (especially after they have already thanked me).
No one else misunderstood what i said nor felt the need to challenge it. 

Again you have not answered my question, let me repeat:
What was it specifically that you thought was not serious? 
You can't because you don't know me, you posted something that was not necessary and now your looking stupid.
When you wrote "Not sure if serious" What did you base this on?

Your comment was totally unnecessary and all you had to do was say sorry it was a misunderstanding. But no, that would be too difficult for you! 

Do you accept your comment was unnecessary? 
Do you accept it was misplaced?

I thought of this thread when we paid for our coffee and lunchtime snack.  Correct price £20.20.
Somehow a mistake at the till meant they rung the price up as £6.7k.

Fortunately that, along with the £95 lettuce was sufficiently "out" as to be instantly noticeable and, therefore, simply corrected.
