Has anyone had a surreal experience like this?:

Went shopping the other week at my local sainsburys.

Went around 6 and had a look at the reduced section. Picked up 4 lots of chicken breasts for 60p each.
Normally these are £5.99 each, but if you buy 2 they take £5 off.

With those I also picked up Steak, Chops & some fish (All Reduced) along with several other standard bits & pieces (milk etc)

Got to the till - The chicken went through first and the till read -£3.00

She called the supervisor over who said they couldn't over-ride the computer and put it through anyway.

When I'd finished packing, the cashier opened the till and handed me a receipt and £3.96.

I went home with about £50 worth of shopping and £4 better off !!

£5.99 for a chicken breast? did it lay golden eggs before it was in for the chop?

P.S. Dont complain when you get food poisening at the weekend

That is weird as ****. You not think about going straight back in to buy some more chicken

Shoul have gone back in and cleaned them out. More cash

For a long time they mispriced milkshakes in my local Sainsburys. I was about 14 at the time and used to buy 8 or so at a time for pennies.

Wasn't anymore unfortunately - If there had of been I might have made some serious cash

Hello

It is very common when you have ""2 for £x". If you meet the requirement of buying 2 you get -£x on your bill and when things are on end-of-life offer it is often less than the item.

Too complicated (well, costly) to get the till to do anything different (from someone who used to program these things).
