We were trained to do that. I don't think anybody bothers to do it any more. |

I agree sharron, one doesnt need to shout to get what we want, but what doesnt help is when you get a very unhelpful shop assistant who is hell bent on sticking to the rules regardless whether they lose a customer.In a small place it really doesnt do to upset people as word soon gets out and people will boycott shops which up here is not what you would want. |

Hello peeps, I'm back after a short break. Just had so many garage bills to pay that subscription had to take a back seat. |

Would not like to be on the receiving end of Florence's charm offensive - I can recall vividly the hell I created, not being a local, when I called "house" on the main game of the evening at a bingo hall in Nairn full of Highland women in tweed skirts and brogues - an experience I would not like to repeat :-D :-D :-D |

If I have the correct store this happens when you reserve something at a discounted price and it is then out of stock. The new stock will come in at the usual price. This store does say that the price you pay is the price on collection not what you reserved it at (as you stated in your post) . |

Shops do not have to sell you goods at the wrongly marked price....to balance that they cannot stop you standing outside their store with a placard telling people they are misrepresenting their prices (my son did this with Currys and he got a very, very good deal on an expensive electrical item) :-D |

Sharron is correct. By law you cannot demand to buy them at the price advertised. If they are wrongly priced they can refuse your offer to buy. However, many larger stores will, in the interests of good customer relations, allow the price advertised. The price is know as 'an offer to treat'. |

With regard to the shoes, you should have been sold them at the lower price, then the store should have removed all the others and corrected their mistake. |

The price on the shelf is the price they are inviting you to offer. The offer is yours not theirs, in fact a special offer is actually a special invitation to treat or make an offer. |

I once picked up a pair of shoes in M&S - the whole shelf had said shoes on - the price on the shelf was £15. Got to checkout - £30!! |
