Popped into Gamestation earlier to trade in some games that I couldn't sell and have a nose about. Wasn't really planning on buying anything although I've got a rather nice £50 I won on the Premium Bonds.
Anyway had a look about and saw a Wireless Headset for £24.99, excellent price I thought considering it'd only cost me £10 after trade ins

Went to the counter and the bloke said despite it being marked as £24.99 in two different places, it came up on the till as £34.99 so because it was such a large difference, he would have to charge the full price instead. Cue both me and my Mum pointing out trading standards acts etc. Guy phones up the manager, has a long conversation that sounds like the manager wasn't willing to do it.
Then some random guy in the queue next to us (big scary tattooed guy

) started backing us up......

Cue one wireless headset for £24.99 or £10 for me after trade ins, and a nice satisfaction that I didn't back down
