Woman's Weekly Healthy Living

I picked up this magazine today in Sainsbury's and at the Self Check out I notice it scanned for 9.95 instead of l.95    The check out supervisor couldn't help but how many people over the country are buying this magazine and not noticing the price they re paying with an 8 pound profit on each magazine, becuase the bar code is wrong.

If the price was marked clearly at £1.95, that is the price they should charge, regardless of the bar code and the supervisor should have refunded the £8.   When I worked for Asda on the checkout, I had a piece of meat which had been marked down to about £5 and it scanned at over £600

I often find problems with the prices in Sainsburys, particularly when there are reductions for multibuys.  I check my bill very carefully.   I use the self service tills it is easier to keep track of what I am paying.  If you overpay for something they do refund it at customer services.

I called the supervisor over when i noticed the price and she couldn't change it so that i could buy it at the proper price.   My point is how many people buying this magazine with lots of other shopping and do not notice the 9.95 price.   

I did not buy the magazine.
