Londis - "special offers" rip off- check receipts!!

[Minitoots]

Watch out if you buy anything marked with a 'special offer/ dicounted price" in Londis as more often than not when it is scanned, the amount on the till is the original price and not the special offer.

This has been going on for years and we've complained to the manager, contacted the trading standards office and Londis head office and it seemed better for a while but it's happened again to me 3 times this last week!

Whenever I mention it to the various staff (who are not at fault themselves) I ask them to mention it to the manager and they always have a different reason for it happening.

This week it has been : ' their tills don't work properly" 'the offer is only on for 3 weeks" 'it is the fault of the previous manager'

So PLEASE check your receipt when buying anything in Londis!!!

By the way, it's Londis at 93-95 Lordship Lane London SE22 8HU (just in case there are others in the area)

It happens not infrequently at the Co-Op as well (Lordship Lane branch, and the one on Forest Hill Road). I don't think it is malicious, just gormlessness and lack of care.

I whitnessed this with the guy in front of me last week. con artists.

It's happened to me so often in so many stores, including the likes of M&S who were a frequent offender, that I always check my till receipts now. I've always been refunded the excess if I've been overcharged, including expired offers.
