Popped into the local halfords today, needed oil & filter for a megane diesel. Not too much to expect is it, pick it up, pay for it, leave.
Picked up the filter and had a look at the oil shelf, they've got 10w40 magnatec deisel oil for £23.99, ideal.
Get to the checkout, hand over my trade card and the bits. Bill comes to £30. Huh? Recipt shows that i've paid £23.99 for the oil. I query this and she tell me that's the right price and that the oil is already on offer.
The checkout girl and myself walk back to the shelf and she points to a 4" square yellow card at the other end of the shelf from the price tag of £23.99 which states that the oil should be £27.99 and is currently on offer.
Okay, my mistake, i assumed the price on the shelf was the regular price and i'd get discount from that. I tell the girl i'd like to exchange the oil for something more "economically viable" (not my car, not my money), okay she says, just bring it down to the counter when you've got the oil you want.
I get back to the checkout before she does, she scans the new oil and tells me that this will cost more than the last stuff. wtf? Is this stuff on offer too?
And this is the point where i remembered why i don't usually buy from halfords. "oh, did you want the trade discount on this oil as well?"
Where do they find these people?
