Myself, though not much of a story
Doing my pre-work shop, I picked up a nice milkshake, noticing that the sticker said 98p. Scanning it through the self checkouts (and I probably wouldn't have noticed had I picked human interaction and got a till monkey to scan my stuff for me) I noticed the price scanned showed up at £1.02.

Yes, I'm ashamed to say that I held up a queue of people for five minutes until I got my 4p discounted after quoting the sale of goods act at the poor lass who really looked like she didn't want to be there.

Spot on.
And this makes it five consecutive QOTWs posted in too :)

And how did I guess? ;) I just know these things.

Sale of Goods Act != contract law
What you should have been quoting is legal bollocks about "invitation to treat" vs. "offer", Trading Standards legislation, and other contractual legalese. The Sale of Goods Act governs the fitness and implied merchantability of a product, not the price.

If they add 4p on to every customer, every day....
Imagine how much extra they make over all the Tecos in a year? if everybody checks and makes sure they are not overcharged, they won't make all those extra billions a year.

It all adds up my friend.

just to be picky -
I think you'll find most people who work in supermarkets, don't want to be there. That's our baseline, it's got nothing to do with individual customers.

I usually point out scanning errors if I notice them:
1/ It makes the managers do some work.
2/ It gives me a brief rest.
3/ It saves the customers some money.
