Told to pay £2.29 at the till for £2 garlic bread

[Gusto Brunt]

So in Iceland there are garlic bread for 5 for £2. So I had the change ready, £2.

Got to the till and the guy said 'you're 29p short.'

I said, HOW????

He said, 'they're £2.29.'

I said nothing in Iceland is £2.29, it's all rounded up: £1, £2, £3, or rarely 50p...like £1.50. But mostly it's rounded up to the nearest pound.

So he said I had to pay the extra 29p. I reluctantly had to break into a ten pound note.:fist:

So it was afternoon a skeleton staff was on, couldn't find an assistant, then found the assistant manager creeping about. I said, 'HEY! I've just been charged 29p extra for a £2 product.' :fist:

We went round to the freezer and saw indeed they were £2 for 5.

He said, 'fair cop', and gave me an immediate refund. Some people would have just forgotten about it, as it was only 29p. But not me. :smug::hee::joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

cant you get Garlic Bread in England?

[Shaun]

wow that showed him huh

[Gusto Brunt]

cant you get Garlic Bread in England?

I am in England. Doh, Iceland. :p

[Jordan.]

It was £2.29 the ticket was wrong

[Gusto Brunt]

wow that showed him huh

It didn't actually.

The dope who who charged me £2.29 never saw I got a refund, so he probably still thinks he is right. :fist:

[Gusto Brunt]

It was £2.29 the ticket was wrong

In law if something is advertised say as £2, it must sell for £2.

[Jordan.]

In law if something is advertised say as £2, it must sell for £2.

And that's why you got it for £2, but you're making out the cashier was wrong when he wasn't.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I take it if a vampire was on the tills there would be a sign saying "no garlic bread sold at this till"?

:fist:

Bloody Iceland

[Tom4784]

It didn't actually.

The dope who who charged me £2.29 never saw I got a refund, so he probably still thinks he is right. :fist:

Judging from my own experiences in retail, both him and his manager are probably laughing at the guy who kicked up a fuss over 29p.

Well it's not funny is it, if you are a penny short, they don't just say, that's fine off you go do they?

[LukeB]

Yeah it's really annoying when it says this price but when you get to the till it's different.

[thesheriff443]

I take it if a vampire was on the tills there would be a sign saying "no garlic bread sold at this till"?

No but they see you coming and close the till.

[Tom4784]

Well it's not funny is it, if you are a penny short, they don't just say, that's fine off you go do they?

If your budget is that tight that a penny can make or break a purchase then you probably shouldn't be wasting money on Garlic Bread.

[Cherie]

Well it's not funny is it, if you are a penny short, they don't just say, that's fine off you go do they?

that is so true, penny short, you have to put it back

[Niamh.]

**** that ****, 29p is better in my pocket than a big Supermarket chain. Can you imagine how much all them 29p's added up are?

[Cherie]

If your budget is that tight that a penny can make or break a purchase then you probably shouldn't be wasting money on Garlic Bread.

what kind of logic is that? sometime you pick something up and think you have enough then find you are 2p out or something you might get away with it in a corner shop you will have to put it back in a chain

[Cherie]

**** that ****, 29p is better in my pocket than a big Supermarket chain. Can you imagine how much all them 29p's added up are?

Ever heard of debit cards?

[Ashley.]

Well it's not funny is it, if you are a penny short, they don't just say, that's fine off you go do they?

They sometimes do. They let me off when I accidentally go over at the petrol station and I've only got cash on me. :hee:

[Littlegreen]

Even if it's an extra 5p I feel gutted to have overspent. So I get you.

[Cherie]

Ever heard of debit cards?

sometimes people forget their wallets/purses ever heard of that?

[Cherie]

Ever heard of debit cards?

You wouldn't get it from Dezzy he would send you home for your debit card to pay the 2p

[caprimint]

5 for £2 sounds like a pretty damn good deal

(I wouldn't forget about the 29p either :hehe:)

[Smithy]

In law if something is advertised say as £2, it must sell for £2.

They don't actually, if something is on offer, then there is no obligation

[Withano]

He charges everyone 29p extra so he can buy a mansion at the end of the year.

[Smithy]

Woo!
Do we have to sell products for the price shown if we have made a mistake?
Normally, no. When, for example, a shop displays products and their prices, the shop is not directly offering them for sale but issuing an 'invitation to treat': when the customer offers to buy the product, the shop can decide whether to accept or reject the customer's offer.

You would, of course, need to correct the price once your error had been pointed out. Otherwise you could be accused of displaying a deliberately misleading price and could face legal action.

Yes but that's because he thought all he was spending was £2, if you leave to go to the shop, unless you know for certain what you're buying you'll take more then £2, you can still set a budget and not exceed it :shrug:

[Niamh.]

I can't believe anyone would suggest we should just accept being overcharged however much it is - that would give the dishonest licence to get away with it. It's the principle, not the amount. 29p here and 29p there soon mounts up.

If it's marked up at a certain price that is what they have to charge you. My local co-op's computers never seem to be able to keep up with their 'offers' and regularly advertising one amount and charging another higher amount at the till. I always question it.

One of the chippys over here doesn't take card so I never go there, so it clearly has a detrimental effect on their business

If your budget is that tight that a penny can make or break a purchase then you probably shouldn't be wasting money on Garlic Bread.

It's garlic bread not champagne, just to dezzy with your debit card answer, have you ever seen someone get to the till and their card won't work, because I have loads of times, plus I know two cafes and a kebab shop that only take cash.

Right to point it out imo. They were obviously displaying an old price or expired offer and if no one points that out then they'll just continue to display the wrong price. Probably means there's other products which are priced incorrectly as well

Well I was annoyed that I had to break into a tenner, and when I had the right money.

Yeah it's really annoying when it says this price but when you get to the till it's different.

Another 'bargain' store does that too where I live. Wrong prices, different at the till. They must be making a small fortune from the elderly who think they're getting bargains.

If something's displaying the wrong price, I think it's perfectly reasonable to point it out to the staff and I don't see why that's something to look down on, especially as it's something that needs to be pointed out to prevent the same issue cropping up again later (as long as you're also reasonable in how you broach it and don't automatically go into "have a go at the staff" mode as plenty of customers do. Mistakes happen).

My issue is when customers argue about the price when they've looked at the wrong price ticket despite the right one being in the right place (and each ticket clearly saying what product the price is for).

Been on the phone to the manager and he confirmed the £2.29 'was probably right'.

He said the till prices are set by Iceland Control Centre and my local store had been getting weird product price increases like 9p, and 7p, and 13p. Often - HE SAYS - the shop staff don't know the increase figures themselves. That's why the freezer still said 5 for £2.

A case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.

He said the till prices are set by Iceland Control Centre and my local store had been getting weird product price increases like 9p, and 7p, and 13p. Often - HE SAYS - the shop staff don't know the increase figures themselves. That's why the freezer still said 5 for £2.

A case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing.

you rang up a day later for an extra 29p BYE :skull:

I think you're failing to see the issue here. It's not about the 29p. It's about a store saying something costs one amount but in fact it's another amount.

Like Old Granny Johnson going down there, seeing her favourite cakes are 3 for £1.50 and ending up paying £3 for them at the till. She hands over money and doesn't look at the receipt. Do you get it now???

It's standing up for what's right. :smug:

I'm howling at you going back for your 29p but I probably would've done the same tbh :joker:

I think people fail to see that if a lot of customers are charged 29p more than they should be charged, that could add up to a significant amount that the shop, or even an employee, would pocket. It's basically theft.

[smudgie]

Nothing wrong in mentioning you think you have been overcharged, as long as it is done politely.
I rang Tesco yesterday to tell them my fresh cream Victoria sponge cake and fresh cream strawberry trifle had gone awol, accepted their apology and refund and then went on to tell her how much I enjoyed the strawberries that arrived, best ever.

I used to love scamming Tesco Online in legitimate ways :flutter:

Like when it first started, you could order an extra small leg of lamb for like £6,but the local store NEVER had them, so they would send a massive £15 one but only charge the £6. We did that every week for like a year :joker:. But they got wise to it in the end :(.

Yeah, we have had some fantastic bargains like that.
Best one yet was not only getting 3 massive Easter eggs free but they gave us the saving of a fiver refund as well, price matched plus an offer.
