Something doesn’t scan.
Wotsit all about?

Why do these snacks (purchased at M & S, Dundrum Town Centre) regularly scan at €1.40 when shelf edge says €0.75? Staff over-ride but problem recurs.
I wonder what else in store customers are consistently overcharged for, and could you make a donation to SVP or similar once fixed?
Anyone?

Just refuse to shop at M&S …their ‘food’ comes from outer space
even the clotted cream
not sue I can let go
Tesco were known for this some years ago, and eventually started a well-publicised campaign to give it to you free if it scanned high. I don’t think they do it any more, the free bit, that is.
Have noticed that in Super Valu too. Odd that it’s never, ever in customer’s favour.
Yes it is, but it’s not often reported so that it can be abused by the few in the know.
God I love a cheese taster. Disgustingly delicious little orange chunks of heaven.
They are fupping delicious.
Serves him right for not buying the six pack or the big bag.
Delicious as they are they do smell a bit like sweaty feet.
In defence of whoever it was who messed up and didn’t update the system…
I did that job meself for a while. It isn’t easy.
The checkout operators never tell you about anything because they think you’re a weirdo. The store manager is afraid of you and the sucurity guard is suspicious of why your bottle of ‘water’ is never empty.
It isn’t easy.
I should know.
Imagining Bohemian Rhapsody multiplied by The Fall, but even better, madder, slightly shorter and much funnier?
Imagine no longer…
It’s called ‘Couples vs Jobless Mid 30s’.
It goes a bit

Sorry.
It’s hard to make any sort of effort when you’re in moderation.
Marks are a ripoff anyway. They still work on the £2=€3 when it’s closer to €2.20. They fleece their Irish customer base and don’t give a damn. Same with Debenhams, Next etc. It’s cheaper to buy from argos.co.uk, take advantage of their free delivery and then get stuff delivered by parcel motel.
£10 meal deal is €14. I make a point of asking about it every time I buy it.
It’s a business, you agree to pay the price, as you said it was clearly displayed on the till before you handed over your money and accepted the terms of sale. Even if customers wanted to get the money back they have the option of doing so afterwards by returning the item.
Why are you screeching about donations?
Shelf edge pricing is governed by law… http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/consumer_affairs/consumer_protection/pricing/price_display_of_goods_and_services.html
Perhaps Stephen should contact the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (not broadsheet) then..
Those are the finest cheesy poofs money can buy, so full of flavour
Keep eating that poo.You will eventually turn orange, so becoming qualified to bang a big drum, or serve porter to yanks in Doonbeg
Marks & Sparks grub has gone well downhill in recent times
their sambos and dessert bits (rice pudding nom nom) tho dear used to be really reliable, very poor shadow of their former self I find
one item where they still standout is fruit.
I’d love to know why their fruit is a country mile above everyone else’s (presumably it’s routed in the same way as likes of Supervalu etc.)
M&S in Heuston is noticeably dearer than the one in Jervis – i once asked a guy working there about the higher prices and he mumbled something about them being a franchise.
Have to say I didn’t realize operating a franchise gave them the right to make up the prices.
Or maybe its simply down to them fleecing people rushing for trains…
I once or twice had a friend called Grace.
She had a Christmas Tree in her kitchen in July in Kimmage.
She got a job in SpecSavers. I haven’t seen her since.
She was great craic.
Is it you?
It falls under invitation to treat. They’re not obliged to sell it at the lower price and you’re not obliged to buy it at the higher price. It can be annoying, but mistakes happen, especially when staff are under appreciated and don’t really care. (Note: I don’t work at M&S but have heard stories from people who do) As for a franchise charging more, who said you can’t charge what you like? It’s up to the buyer to decide whether to shop there or not.
Ooh look at me I shop in Marks and sparks
An impeccable Homer Simpson impression.
Bravo.
Different sized bags folks.
