Just been speaking to my sister who has just returned from a shopping spree at Tesco's.
When she checked her receipt against the shopping it disclosed a number of discrepancies.
First off there were a number of items advertised at a special price on the shelves, but when she examined the till receipt she had been charged a much higher figure.
Then when she had bought loose items of fruit she had been charged for more than the quantity she had purchased. eg 4 grapefruits in the bag.... SEVEN on the receipt.
Why did she check the bill?
Because she has been diddled by this shop before.
The problem though is that we don't have any idea how much the price on the shelf is unless we can specifically remember each item. My sister could only recall THREE incorrectly charged items, but fruit wise there were three different fruits that were overcharged including the grapefruits.
Strange how it is always over-charging and not the other way!
Tesco's have offered to refund the excess charge but I wonder how many customers do not realise they have been ripped off!
Regards
John
