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.

AFAIK if they have it labelled at a price they have to / will sell it at that price....if you notice at the tills.

I'm pretty sure you're correct. I can't remember which show, but I i'm sure I saw one years ago that demonstrated this with a high-end TV with the decimal in the wrong place.

Also, tesco put their clubcard prices out the night before they change. I only found out 10 minutes before closing when I went to buy a multi pack of crisps with a discount to 1.75. When the self checkout tried to charge me full price, I pointed it out, and the attendant explained that they put the next days offers on the shelves at the end of the night. Then, they manylalu added the discount and even took it down to 1.50 for me.

Nope, wrong, no shop needs to sell any item at the labelled price.

The guy in Tesco just done that for "good customer service".
