Tesco do this all the time. My husband sometimes buys the lunch meal deal and takes the fanta that is included in the £3 meal deal only the store cleverly places the fanta zero right beside the normal fanta and he has grabbed the zero in error being in a hurry and wondered why the meal deal came to more than £3 at the checkout. The fanta zero is not in the meal deal and I wonder how many people have thought 'sod it, not going all the way back there for the other one' and paid the extra money? not my husband of course, he will leave the lot at the checkout and walk out, but its a ploy tesco use and it works.

Dvd box sets.
You crack one open in eager anticipation of an all night binge watch.
You go to play episode one on disc one only to find that disc one is buried under disc two.
This means you have to remove disc two to get at disc one and then put disc two in the place where disc one was.
I'd prefer it if disc one was on top, it would save some unnecessary footering about.

That's a whole 5 seconds of your life you won't get back

BIB1. Yes, I've heard that can happen.

BIB2. You've been put in a very awkward situation there. as you know both the people concerned. So, do you keep quiet or tell her husband what is going on. If it were me, I think I'd keep quiet and let them sort it out, because otherwise you'll be liable to lose two people as friends, much that you may disapprove of her actions. Alternatively, you could give hints to her to drop the 'other lover' and promise not to tell her husband.

It's all very complicated and I often wonder why people in serious relationships or are married have affairs. Just end it, separate and/or get a divorce, then hopefully nobody will feel betrayed.

I always thank the driver.. it just feels wrong to walk past without saying anything! (and just good manners anyway).

Wrong actually cos disc 3 is stuck under disc 4 and so on and then you have to take into account that there are 6 or 7 series in a box set.

Ahh thank you! I must admit, I was beginning to think I'd imagined reading about and experiencing it in Tesco myself.


Well, your post wasn't specific to my particular point - you seemed to imply that supermarkets never get it wrong deliberately, when they patently do. In fact, my last post in response to you originally started with "Blimey, do you work for a supermarket, or something?" I changed it, but the point is you do seem rather defensive of supermarkets.

Anyway, no, you're right, I can't find a specific 'news' story about shelving pricing in amongst all the other mis-pricing articles, so it must have all been anecdotal. During my various searches since last night, I found many, many results where people were complaining that the price at the till didn't match what was on the shelf sticker. Quite a few of those results also went on to say, for example, "I got my money back after complaining, but three days later it's still the same." One of these 'complainers' was told "Oh, the shelf stacker ran out of room, so he just put them there for the time being, sorry about that," and they were still there several days later.

If all of the examples are simple inefficiency, then supermarkets aren't being run very well. And we can't vote with our feet, and supermarkets know it, because they all do mis-pricing in one way or another, whether deliberately or not. It's up to us customers to be more vigilant and prepared to take the time to get the right result, but I do think there are customers out there who either don't have the capacity/ability to do so, or the time. The vulnerable get the crappy end of it, again.


That's annoying as hell, yes.

I worked out that it was Kaspersky causing the error and I had to disable encrypted connections scan to stop it

But once you've watched the discs do you put disc 1 on top of 2 for easy access next time? In which case that doesn't save time either: Watched 1, put in case, watch 2. Watched 2, remove 1 in order to put place 2 under 1 so that next time it is on top

You could buy some CD/DVD sleeves/wallets, so one disk is in the wallet and one on the spindle.

Just one example. They are not particularly good quality, but at 1.67p each they'll do the job.

I once had an entire transaction with a woman behind a counter in a corner shop who was on her phone the whole time. She didn't even speak to me or come off the phone. I was only buying a loaf of bread, but it was the most bizarre shopping experience I can recall.

I also saw a woman behind a counter in a post office serving staff whilst eating fish and chips.

You'd think it would be so darn easy fir them to make it clear what is and what isnt part of their £3 meal offer, right ?! But I guess we must just be missing something.

When you've got an essay type thing to write, feel you've worked out in your mind what the main chunk of it is going to be, but can't for the life of ya come up with that oh so important first sentence, darn it. Feels like trying to get into one of those child proof pill bottles and the top refusing to budge.

I must admit that I had never thought of using them in that way. Yes, it would block out unwanted social interference pretty well, I suppose! Glad you sorted the woman with the kids!

..... and people who hold their knife like a pen .....

I was in my local Sainsbury's on Saturday (so it was pretty busy) and three times had to ask various people to move, not because they were actually in my way, but immediately in front of me in the aisle was a display unit which took up the width of my trolly, so I had to go around it, asking people to 'excuse me' as I did so. Those extra displays are a bl**dy pain.

^I should try that rather than my current "not wanting to be a bother" method and coming home without any bread for the coming week.

I heard a woman on the radio this morning who really annoyed me.

She kept wittering on about 'people wanting somefink for nuffink' then said 'they had another thing coming'

Don't these people ever learn which words end with which?

The fact that the Panini Euro 2016 sticker album is already available in Continential Europe, but we can't get it in the United Kingdom - which provides three of the teams - until Thursday.

(And there's no point in bothering to import it from there - it'll probably arrive *after* its British release.)

It isn't just Tesco. Whenever Morrisons is running any kind of special offer, you will always find that it applies to only one particular size of pack (defined in tiny writing) and that purely by coincidence, there is a whole stack of similar, but not quite the same sized packs placed alongside.

Reminds me of Kendra the vampire slayer in Buffy. Her accent was Jamaican but she was from somewhere in Europe apparently

I suppose as bad as that is, On some occasions they may not have time to pop off and make a phone call. They could be on hold for something important and need to do it there and then

Just because they are a business doesn't mean they don't get placed on hold etc

Today for the squillionth time, the queue I was in was
moving far too slowly at the single checkout that was
working.
Reason? Some mindless bimbo was chatting to her friend
on her (pink) mobile phone,and ignoring the cashiers
requests for money etc!
