Our shopping came to £115 yesterday. (my DP sneaked 3 bottles of value vodka through). Checkout lady was so busy asking a greying 37 year old for ID? that she tapped in 3 x vodka, then scanned 2 as well. plus sausages were buy 2 for 2.50. We were charged the normal price. It's not often i check the receipt. But hey result. CS gave us refund and items for freeeeeee. we ended up having 30 odd pound back.

I tend to count it up (nearest 50p) as I load it onto the belt. If it's vastly different I will check it. I do check that offers have been added correctly though.

I have noticed an over charge before, but not until I arrived home, it was a while ago now, i phoned tesco after i put the shop away, they said no prob when you are next in, we'll sort your refund out. Again, it was refund and the item for free. DP was a little concerned yesterday, as the refund went over a certain amount, therefore the duty manager had to be informed and the checkout opperator would be spoken too. I said tuff, should be concentrating. Sorry can be buvvered to check this, enjoying my free vodka, with DC ofcourse

yep = I check every week after I've put everything away. My local sainsburys are very good and always refund me even smal 50p-£l amounts if something hasn't been charged right. Feel like a right tittletattle asking but I feel it's better in my purse than theres.
