The eggs cost John £1.50, the jam £1, one loaf of bread went through at 69p, but the other was priced at £450.

“It ended up being the most expensive grocery shop I have ever done in my entire life,” he added.

A spokeswoman for ASDA said the store would be offering John a full refund.

“A system glitch meant that the bread was scanned at the wrong price,” she said.

“It goes without saying that we’re sorry for any inconvenience caused to Mr Brown. We have offered him a gesture of goodwill to treat himself on his next visit.”

I have to wonder why the silly cunt paid for it, rather than questioning the price there and then...

He usually goes to Waitrose
where the bread is more expensive.

He's an attention seeking twat,
who (correctly) assumed that he'd get some sort of freebie if he went to the papers?

Yeah, I suppose stupidity is a class thing.
Never mind him paying for it, why didn't the till monkey raise it as suspicious?

Self service tills aren't likely to take any customer-friendly initiative.
Also, paying for £10 of stuff with a debit card is extremely similar to paying for £400 of stuff with a debit card.

I'm not saying he wasn't a foolish for not even glancing at the total before paying for it, but with all the modern "conveniences" attempting to streamline hundreds of very busy people through the checkouts this kind of shit is bound to start happening.

Also, till monkeys aren't exactly known for their nouse, which is usually why they're till monkeys.... unless it's Waitrose (where the the girls on the till are pretty middle class daughters earning a bit of cash before heading off to some cushy humanities course at a middling university with a "good reputation").
