Charged full price for special offers

gainsborough lad? owt at the Plat and lobbys worth havein?,...

me...I can say that..I do check everything that is rung up on the till...and 5 times out of ten, they do ring in the full price...I check my receipt when they give it to me..and I wait there if it;s wrong..they love me...and boy do they not want to be wrong. Sometimes I have looked at the wrong price...but not often. And..if im wrong..I say I dont want it then... I once bought 20 flannels for one pence....tuff!...and why do I need twenty flannels??? iI'm not telling you!

Slightly off topic but was queuing up at the till today with a basket of around seven items but a couple came along with a huge trolley, with a mountain of food inside. Fair enough but they queued behind me and kept bashing me with the front of their trolley. After 10 minutes or so, a new till was opened and the operator shouted for people to move over.

The couple with the trolley raced over and I went as well but got there too late. I thought they may realise I was in front of them and let me go first. Or perhaps spot that I only had a few things. But no, they loaded all their stuff up and ignored me, after glancing my way.

Selfish people.

In the end, I went to another queue. I think the supermarkets should change the policy on this. Why not go to people half way down the queue and lead people over in the order they were queuing. Seems fairer!

French connection, re 6th Jan, thanks for paying in a cheque for £50-00 on the 10th Jan, but it has bounced,

And I thought all along that you were a genuine person.

Ah moite I like 2 for 1 deals in Supermarket I buy plenty of them then sell at ridiculously inflated prices in my Corner Shop.

Fuddy duddy, when you are given your next till receipt, and it says at the bottom of the receipt "multibuy discounts, today you have saved £4-62, £1-96 or £6-30" using your reckoning, I suggest that you give this saving in cash to the till operator.

That way you will have a clear conscience.

If everyone was like some of these penny-pinching maniacs there would be civil war over who should get what and looting.

This is what created the class divide.

It is a good job that some of us aren't as greedy so we soften the impact these have on society.

MikeP nothing in this account yet, but you never know your luck in a raffle.

Not very smart to publish your bank details on the internet. A certain Mr. Clarkson did so and ended up with problems as a result of it - and he didn't bank at Lloyds TSB in Derby.

French connection, you obviously have more money than you need,

Please pay any surplus into my bank account, 77-08-05 43781256,

Thank you.

Just look at the sales after Christmas - some people are obsessed with getting something at the lowest possible price and are prepared to create a stampede as well as fight for it.

If something was normally £500 and on sale for £400 in a peaceful easy-come, easy-go sale I would prefer this to having to push my way about trying to get it in a sale for £300.

I would be grateful I had saved £100 off £500 and not lost £100 when I could have got it that much cheaper.

People who penny pinch on luxuries already with plenty must be unhappy to value money so much and not value the other things in life.

Valuing money is a substitute to compensate for those who are not satisfied with their performance so penny pinching makes them look as if they have earned more than they have.

This seems to be where obsession and penny pinching goes on and those living beyond their means, not shopping around for essentials although if I saw someone buying the stock of 2 for 1 I would wonder why they went to such extremes.

Stand up for your rights - phone the shop or even better their head office, tell them what happened. Tell them you won't be shopping there again and you want a full refund sent in the post to you. If they argue with you (doubtful they will) then say you'll report them to trading standards.
