What about the person who had to stick all the stickers on? His sticking arm will never be the same again. Stickiest situation since "Sticky" the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun

Amazon do that a lot, even the really high price items like "Was £699.99, Now £699.98!".

It's their reduced label for when things are out of going out of date / damaged in store. The price is set by the operator at the time so some Tesco eejit done this either out of incompetence or for a joke. Good news is no ink was wasted as this is a thermal printer

Aside from the fact it was a thermal printer and no ink was used - it doesn't really matter what the cost was It's a cost of the promotion / reduction and built into the price in the first place.

Apologies for sounding like a right prat there
