1st

They really outshone themselves the other day! (Unless it was me who lost it?)

There was no price on the BBQ baked beans, so inquired of a chap what the price was - he returned to me after asking someone on the checkout what the price was, and informed me that they were two for a pound!

When I got to the cash-point, I was charged £1 for each tin - and I queried this with the lady... who looked a bit puzzled, then said they were three for a pound! She fetched me another tin. As I limped outside, I though, well I've still been charged £3?

I didn't have the energy or will power to go back!

2nd

Not that use Sainsbury’s very often, but I had a dizzy spell on my way to Asda, and called in to JS to minimise the walking. I have never seen such talking between cashiers when they were supposed to be concentrating on serving - one thing that used to be superior at JS!

3rd 

On my last visit, guess what? I was overcharged! You have to admire their consistency!

The bacon on sale was out of date, the fresh sliced bread at 1040am had still not been put on the shelves, and last weeks 24p baked beans were now 30p.

4th

The speed with which the young man put my few things through the till, was so quick, he forgot to overcharge me! (Ha ha ha!) 

5th

A marvellous store, not like those that rush you at all, their quite happy to let you join the queue of the only checkout open, and complete you Telegraph crossword, and use up your mobile allowance for the month. but the girls there are very good lookers!

1st

I was conned yet again by the youth on the check-out - no receipt given, added up the things when I got home, found I had been charged twice for packet of bacon I think... at least the difference with my total and what he charged was the cost of the bacon. I will not attend this shop on Huntingdon Street again!

2nd

On my last two visits to this shop on Mansfield Road, other customers were overcharged for items that should have been reduced - and I was very dubious about whether this was deliberate or not, as on both occasions, the till operator instantly agreed and muttered a 'Sorry about that, I'll get the manager to make it right.' And when he appeared, it all seemed to casual and accepted for my liking!

3rd

 

Well, they didn't fiddle, abuse or insult me such, but I did not appreciate getting 18 x 2d pieces along with some pennies in my change!

4th

Calling in on the city Centre Greggs, brought about a first-time insult for me, from the pretty lady serving. I was struggling with my shopping bags as I approached the counter, and the label on the £1 economy cheese and pickle baguette was not clearly in view to her... and I feel so guilty about it as she said "Well which is it, show me the label... oh a cheapo, should have guessed!"

That was nice of her!

Special Mention in Despatches for....

I called into this concentration camp... I mean shop today, to try and buy some potatoes, tinned Herrings and tinned Kippers - also with the intent of trying to avoid being overcharged, insulted, or put-down - but then I was always a dreamer!

The potatoes were grotty to say the least, the tinned 89p Herrings the 99p Kippers were selected, and I took then to the rather bored looking lady on the check-out - where I realised afterwards, I'd been charged 99p for the 89p Herrings.

On my two previous visits, the person in the queue in front of me were overcharged!

My turn today.

You have to admire their consistency!

Tremendous improvement this last few week - I've only been overcharged twice!

Once By

And Once By
I think it was a genuine mistake here... but....

Things are looking up!

Lidl top of the league again!

15 November 2013

After many months of hassle, health and legal problems, I'm back to report on the worst retail service providers I've come across in Nottingham.

Lidl staff have now overcharged me twelve times this year. Although on this occasion, the young man omitted to scowl at me. (Take note Lidl)

I bought five items, and found an added charge fora Sharon fruit at 50p.

To save bother, I returned to the shop with the reciept, and took a Sharon fruit from the display to settle it, after talking with a member of staff.

I'm still waiting for the fruit to tipen so I can get a knife or my teeth into it!
