Anyone noticed how many supermarket items are wrongly priced and go through Morrisons tills a couple quid more than they are advertised on the shelf.

I spotted this happen to me in a co op and started to pay a bit more attention. Didn't happen again at the co op but at morrisons it's every single shop. Yesterday it was pepper marked at 1.79 that went through the till at 2.20. Morrisons immediately alter it which makes me think it's a known intentional scam.

Every single shop this year there has been at least one. Some as far as £5 marked up from what's advertised. It's not a members discount or anything as I made sure of this early on. Just either incompetence or a scam.

Just went to Sainsbury's there as I'm fed up with Morrisons and had the same thing happen on a £2 kombucha that went through the till at 2.95. No club card discount just the shelf price then an invisible 95p added to it ...

Not like the massive hikes these firms have put on everything isn't enough they now put up fake prices.

incompetence

yeap

Manglement want goods on shelves, and processing the price tags is low low priority, so when they start cutting hours something has to give - you might get one person doing it for the whole store and if they don't get through today's list, then that gets added to tomorrow's, then the extras get added to the next day's soon you can be days behind

Unless people kick up a stink, or it gets noticed, nothing gets done

Think you might have just solved this mystery man. The fact they are allowed to is rotten ... like half their Salads
