If I have overpaid then give me the money now not blackmail me to coming back to your store with my own money.
If they can give me that much back then how much have I been overpaying for stuff over the years. What a disgrace these supermarkets are. What i should do is over the course on 1 years add up how much I have overpaid and then advertise that back to them and see how they like those apples.
Pay over £100 too much a year by shopping at Tesco. every little helps my arse and that's before we even get to Club points which is an other form of blackmail by overcharging and then giving you your money back.

Better still a reduced price wine to calm my rage at their devious marketing techniques.
So they made a mistake ... you spotted it ... and you accepted a voucher?
Why didn't you ask for it in cash?
No it's not a mistake it's part of their marketing to get you to come back. Happens to everyone if say its cheaper else where.
These kinds of things annoy me well as the expiration date is always the following week or something similar, so it tends to expire before I need it.
Either that or they offer you an £10 or so of an amount of money you never normally spend, so I need to spend more to get the saving. Bit of a false economy.
They should credit the saving to a loyalty account if it really is meant to be a genuine saving.
Yes because they are saying I over charged but unless I come back then I get zero!
What a scam.
So it wasn't a mistake?
If you choose to shop at Tesco again you get money off ... and you're complaining?
Simple solutions ...
1. Don't use the voucher.
2. Choose to shop elsewhere.
I don't drive, but anyone who does is spending far more than £4.76 in petrol, surely, having to traipse between them all, and then back if the first one (or second) is cheaper?
If the items you bought aren't essentials, then I understand the frustration - you'd rather have the cash back and buy the items at your leisure, but from my own perspective it's very useful.
How are they overcharging you? They set out their goods with the prices on them as an invitation to treat, and you accept by loading up your trolley and happily paying for them. If they are able to offer discounts for repeat custom then great, but that doesn't mean you have been overcharged at the original visit does it?
That is not always convenient and they are all at it anyways.
They seem fair to me.
Plenty of money off vouchers, bonus clubcard points and also, with online deliveries, a comparison with other supermarkets and money back if the goods work out cheaper elsewhere. Which is not offset against weeks when it's cheaper at Tesco.
I have no complaints against them at all.
Of course I have been overcharged as they would not give me money back otherwise. They are only interested in making a profit so would not do this unless that had overcharged to start with.
So the shopping would have been cheaper if you'd gone elsewhere, but it's more convenient for you to shop at Tesco, and you're still complaining!
Foxtrot foxtrot sierra!

You haven't, because you accept the price when you buy. What you are trying to assert is that the prices are, in your opinion, too high if they can afford to let them go at a reduced rate, but a discount on the next purchase is just part of their retail strategy, and they might be prepared to take a small hit on certain items and loss leaders etc, to entice you back in the hope that you'll fill up your trolley again. You haven't been overcharged, you haven't been blackmailed.
They didn't over-charge you. They charged you the correct amount for the goods. They have accepted that you could have got your shopping elsewhere for cheaper and have offered you the chance to make that saving the next time you shop. They are under no legal obligation to offer you this voucher.
They don't have to give me anything off my next shop. I chose to shop there and chose to pay their prices. If they want to give me a few quid off my next shop then that's a bonus
If as you say they're all at it, what's to complain about?
They are saying they have overcharged me. That is exactly what they are saying and give me a print out to proof it. Okay good, now give me the money back you overcharge me then don't blackmail me with it.
This is like me saying excuse me sir you just dropped your wallet but I have taken some money out. Come back here tomorrow and buy something off me I have to sell and I will give you the money I took back.
That's blackmail!
Black as night, black as pitch, fouler than the darkest witch.
