Does anybody check Supermarket Receipts

I certainly would not go back if I was undercharged. They make it up other ways so it all balances out in the end.

Was in Lidl at lunch time today. They have large granny smith apples on sale ... big sign saying reduced from 49c to 29c ... I bought 8. I checked receipt before I left the shop and saw that I had been charged 49c each. Spoke to the assistant who went into office, checked the price list and said "the price is going up today". She wanted me to return them for refund. "I told her no you have to give them to me at the price they were advertised. It's the law". She then issued refund for €1.60.
Check, check, check your receipts!

Actually I read on this site that they dont have to charge the advertised price. Its called invitation to treat. I always thought they did too

Well would you have gone back if you were overcharged?? The same rules should apply I would think (but thats my own opinion!)

Well in this case, upon reflection I'd feel I would have to charge them for my time in travelling back so I think it evens out.

Well I'm back in supermarket buying my rolls again. As the checkout girl is about to scan the rolls I said "they are the small rolls @ 34c". She tries a lot of items on her computer and tells me they have no small rolls. So I said "what do you normally charge for these" and she says 46c. So that's how supermarkets make money. Now she says I'll let you have them at 39c. Needless to say I ask why would I agree to pay 39c for the 34c rolls. They are not on the computer so we are at stalemate, so I asked what is their policy for items that don't scan. Avery sharp reply came back "if you think you are getting these free you can think again.

All I wanted to do was to pay the correct price for the goods I had purchased but it wasn't possible.

Maybe it's called customer service!!!!!!!!
