Can I have your opinion/advice please? Possibly overcharged!

I would appreciate any advice I could get on this, I will preface it all by saying I know I don't have a lot to go on!

This afternoon in my local convenience store I purchased a sausage roll, regular bag of Tayto and a 50cl bottle of Volvic water. I was charged €4.99. I paid up and left, I wasn't offered a receipt and didn't ask for one. When I was on the bus later I opened the sausage roll and it was marked €1.00 which means that the water and tayto cost €3.99. this seems a bit ridiculous!

I was thinking of going back to the store and checking the price of the water and tayto and if there is a difference saying something to the sales assistant. I know that without my receipt I'm not entitled to anything. Would it be worth a try though? I know it's only a couple of € but it's more the principle of the thing!

Any suggestions/advice/opinions appreciated.

Re-check the prices, but talk to a manager, not the sales person. You haven't a leg to stand on, but you never know, they might well refund you the overcharge if it was an overcharge.

Thanks jor el, I'll give it a go, nothing to lose!

They can track your receipt, if you know what you bought, what time, and what till. I did this in a Centra to get a receipt for a faulty bus ticket to show Dublin Bus. However they might think you're a giant pain to do that for the sake of €2. Tayto costs 70cent, water €1.50 max often €1.15 or so.

Sounds like a special offer lunch price. Like any roll/sandwich, crisps and water for €4.99.

The person on the till may have thought he sausage roll was a sandwich and that you were getting the offer.
