Incorrect pricesI'm unfortunately cursed with a hyperactive conscience which prevents me taking advantage of individuals or corporations in the pursuit of financial gain. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've stunned the chattiest till operator into silence by pointing out when they've undercharged me, or given too much change.
Occasionally this works in my favour - Tesco's policy on incorrect prices used to be that if they'd charged you something other than the stated price, you got the item free. That resulted in a free book (something about plants) when I tried to point out they'd undercharged me by a pound.
Sadly they changed this policy a little while back, so they'll now only charge you the lower of the two prices, less the difference. However, this also worked very well recently, when I bought a load of blueberries which had been marked down from about £2 a box to 30p. The difference there, you'll quickly appreciate, is £1.70 a box - hence they paid me £1.40 a box to take them away. I didn't stop grinning all day - and the freezer is still half full of blueberries.

Me too, unfortunatelyOnly yesterday I shocked the guy behind the till of the local corner shop by pointing out that he'd given me change for a tenner when I'd only given him a fiver to start with. I guess since 95% of the people who use that shop are scally chavs, he's used to them taking the money and running quick before anyone notices.

Something similar in Sainsbury's...If you're lucky enough to find items that are reduced marked with things like "Buy 2 save £2" that have been reduced to 50p each, £1 will be charged for the two items, and then the £2 discounted.
It's happened a few times now and has worked every time - although each time I've had other shopping... don't know how they'd handle a negative shopping total!

You people should be ashamed of yourselves!Those poor dead-end job till jockeys were probably trying to get fired and YOU ruined that for them! For shame.
