What normal person can remember the cost of 50+ items in their supermarket trolley?
It's not like the 'old days' where the price labels were on each item and you could check them as they were 'rung up' and placed in your bag.
These days it's all bar codes and incredible feats of memory.
I've caught my local Tesco out 4 times in the last few months in charging more than the price labelled on the shelf, but only by writing each price on my shopping list as I chose the items from the shelves.
I've been greeted by distain and hostility by the Customer Service staff when pointing out that I have been overcharged - today €6 more than the marked prices.
There's no apology, no explanation and still no price tags on the individual items that allows us to check that we are being charged the correct price.
How many of you realise you are being ripped of by the bar code scam?
