Corner shop man just massively overcharged me

Just popped to my local shop for a bottle of wine (£7) and some chocolates(£2). Paid by card and stupidly didn't check the amount on screen.

I then asked for a receipt and he didn't seem to want to give me one, but eventually folded it in half and put it in the bag.

I left the queue and checked the receipt and I had been charged £8 for the wine and £23 for the chocolate.* Twenty three pounds for a twix and a dairy milk!

I presumed a mistake had been made and went back up to be told "sorry can't give refunds." I tried to explain that I use the shop all the time as I'm just a few doors down and he pretended not to know what I was talking about. This was a new member of staff, the chap I normally get is "on holiday" apparently.

What the hell? Who can I contact about this? I feel like going back round there but I don't know what to say!!

I’d keep the receipt and go and take the £22 worth of goods. The police won’t be interested in such minor disputes. They don’t come out when your house gets burgled so I wouldn’t think twice about taking goods I’ve actually paid for. No way would I let a CF mug me off like that.

Has the OP been back?

I’d call the police - it’s a definite scam and they’ll want to know. Also call your bank and let them know what happened

Op come back! What happened?

I would threaten to report him to trading standards as that is theft. I hope you kept the receipt as proof.
