Co-Op Pricing of Multiples

[bruncher]

Often there is a discount for purchase of multiple items, but in the Co-Op (in Devon at any rate), you get charged more per unit if you buy three bottles of certain beers e.g. £1.80 each or 3 for £6. It's been going on for months. When we asked about it, staff said 'Oh yeah, head office know about it'.
