'R55 for laptops, coffee machines': Makro glitch sees pricing errors

[Temujin]

Don't they always print errors and omissions excluded ? (E&o) At the bottom of each flyer to cover for this?

And anyway after the looting festival there will be, all the coffee makers you can loot.

Yes, but regardless, obvious errors are obvious, even under law... some karen can try go to court and get a R55 laptop, but will just be laughed at by judge.

If its too good to be true then it usually is... I always wonder who people think will take the knock when they expect/demand that a company to honor the prices in cases like these.

Not as far as I know, they are making you an invitation to treat which you then make an offer on
That's what I remember from law at varsity almost 20 years ago though

Very few people know that - +100 interwebs to you.

Trumps my zero law training except day to day contracts but in this case I'm guessing the small print has it. There is also the precedent of "snatching at a bargain" but tricky to prove.
