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

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:

cant you get Garlic Bread in England?

wow that showed him huh

I am in England. Doh, Iceland. :p

It was £2.29 the ticket was wrong

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:

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.

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

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?

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

No but they see you coming and close the till.

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.

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

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

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

Penny wise :hee:

Ever heard of debit cards?

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:

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

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

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

5 for £2 sounds like a pretty damn good deal

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

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