Stavo raccogliendo cose per un evento con gli amici e ho pensato che sarebbe stato bello andare in piedi con alcune patatine e coca cola. Che vantaggio per me, una bella 3 per € 5. Ho raccolto la mia merce senza problemi e scansionali nel giogo di sé.
Vado per la mia strada e guardo la mia ricevuta e vedo che sto pagando il prezzo intero. Torno indietro e chiedo qual è la storia e giuro che avrei due teste.
Una delle ragazze mi fa finire e inizia a spiegare come posso ottenere 3 patatine o 3 coke o 3 cioccolatini.
Ora non sono troppo agitato per gli € 1,50 o qualunque cosa io abbia perso, ma poi ha portato il manager e ha iniziato a dire la stessa cosa e che non era affatto confuso per le persone e molto chiaro. Ho provato a dire che quello che stavano facendo è fuorviante e supplicare il mio caso, ma mi stavano facendo sentire un troglodyte nel modo in cui mi guardavano e mi scuotevano la testa.
Ho chiesto al manager se aveva qualche minuto, e quando lo ha fatto, mi sono offerto di stare alla porta con lui e di esaminare la gente in arrivo. Ovviamente ha detto che era davvero molto impegnato e che doveva andarsene.
Ovviamente non è il problema più grande per la nostra repubblica, ma cosa ne pensi? Sono un numpty o ho ragione nel pensare che questo sia chiaramente etichettato in modo errato?

Do you not need your Real Rewards card to trigger the multibuy deal?
I would have thought it was any of the 3 for €5 myself.
Nah they’re taking the piss
I would have assumed the same as you. What’s annoying is they now require you to have a rewards card to get discounts.
Uniquely supervalu issue. Tesco would be like have at it 3 of what you want for €5
They are Irish but supervalu don’t make it easy to support Irish
I agree OP. Beside, what difference would it make to Supervalu if you are still paying a fiver anyway?
The use of the word “any” makes your initial interpretation the better one.
Says ‘Any 3 for 5’ and the website confirms its mix and match (and I tested it).
To me, “Any 3 for €5 range” strongly suggests that I can have *any 3 from the range for €5*…
Given that the sale stickers make don’t seem to differentiate between categories of snack, I would have thought this was mix & match.
SuperValu is not super and not value. They have some nice stuff but are a complete misnomer.
Raging. They want you to spend €15 and get 3 of each type
I’d agree with you op, I think it’s misleading.
“Any 3 for €5 range” suggests that it’s any three items on that shelf. There’s definitely some piss taking here.
I was all set to tell you that you were being a numpty but you’re in the right here with the way they’ve worded it.
Is clearly says “any 3 for €5” – Tesco have a very similar offer in their stores and it works the way it should.
Tesco have something like this but it is actually any 3 for €5. It’s definitely misleading and they should probably have them separated more if it’s only 3 of each kind for €5.
The piss has been taken long long ago.
It’s supervalue they’re never not taking the piss
They’re taking the piss.
Why does it say “Any” if it is only the same one 3 times. Either the girl in the shop doesn’t know how it works or the guy writing the sign doesn’t know. Either way, no you are 100% correct. “Any X for Y” means mix and match
Brand name stuff is gouging like fuck, I work in a supermarket I’ve borne witness
Literal psychopathic capitalism displayed like a whore in a window
Tell us which SuperValu it is, just so we can go there and make the same complaint
You found it misleading, so obviously it is misleading to some people. If the manager would use their brain, they would make an exception for you and fix the shelves so it is more clear.
Other SuperValus run this same offer and it is mix & match so I think the issue is with this store
These kinds of offers have always been mix and match in the past.
SuperValu is a franchised supermarket, so it was probably that shop specifically that was going against the grain of what Musgraves intended.
Their leaflet says 3 for €5 Mix and Match on the app for this range. Therefore, this store is incorrect, and you need to contact their Head Office with your receipt to complain.
It is mix and match according to the SuperValu leaflet – https://supervalu.ie/offers/leaflet/510#page17
Back about 20 years ago I had the job of putting out those signs and labels.
I also would’ve assumed the yellow sign as being correct, so one of any three items 🫠
It’s probably all changed since but the system that gave out the specials would’ve created the SEL (the red/white tag) and they would’ve been product specific, and then it was the yellow signs that explained the offer in detail.
Back then the shop I was in would’ve given you the offer as the sign is ambiguous.
I’m with you on this one OP.
I complained because one morning they had no one on the checkouts in the sundrive one, the self scanner wouldn’t accept my €10 off €50 voucher and they said I had no choice but to leave the stuff or pay the full amount. They sent my complaint to the store manager. He gave me a €20 voucher and shortly after they replaced the shit old self scanners.
Send a complaint through the website.
