Default 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.

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.'

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.
