THE ambiguous labelling on Boots meal deal shelving has caused yet another customer to overpay for his lunch, it has emerged.
Shopper Tom Logan was lured in by the retailer’s promise of discounted sandwiches, snacks and drinks, only to realise he had been tricked out of £7.14 when scanning his items through the self-checkout.
He said: “It’s telling me the Innocent Super Smoothie isn’t part of the deal, even though it’s got a similar label to all the things that are. What the f**k?
“Why would Boots hurt shoppers when they’re at their most vulnerable and hungry by bamboozling them like this? It’s almost as if they’re deliberately trying to swindle people out of cash.
“It doesn’t help that everything’s been mixed up by all the other hapless prey to stumble blindly through the automatic doors. There’s no telling if the Organix flapjacks are part of the deal or not, unless I use my eyes and actually read the signage.”
A Boots spokesperson said: “You’re always welcome to void the transaction and go back to pick out something else, but you never will. We’ve got you by the balls.”
