****ing game.

some anime-esque fighting game, stickered up in multiple branches £27.49. Scans at £54.99. I could understand one branch making a pricing mistake, but all of them? ffs.

I have been playing Viridi lately. It is a 'soothing potted cactus simulator'. My cacti are flowering prettily. It's nice.

I'm not googling that. I'm still collecting catnip from the last time I googled a random game in this thread.

And I was responsible for that one too! What can I say, I like deceptively simple and weirdly addictive games.

that isn't down to the branch. every store gets the same sheet of price changes from head office, so yeah if it is wrong in one store it will be wrong in all of them.

Yeah you were Morgrim

Yeah I know, I just expected it to have been corrected after four days.

[Kirsten]

maybe nobody bought it before then

[Psychosplodge]

No I mean i went in one branch last week and they declined to sell it me at the marked price then removed it from their shelves, then four days later another branch did the same thing. you'd have thought someone would phoned price control and got it sorted in that time. When I worked in retail that sort of stuff was usually sorted in 24 hours, but then again the retailer I worked at also stood to the error and sold it at the marked price so had more incentive to do so.

[Kirsten]

it is all forum/email based, so it might not have been picked up before the next price sheet was issued. we had problems at times with certain special offers on launch day, and you can see a load of stores on the forum all raising the same issue with no answer from Admins

That's a pretty poor way to run things.
