Shopper baffled as supermarket till priced cabbage at £700

A Nottinghamshire shopper was shocked after a self service till priced a vegetable at £700. Michael Wright was at a self service checkout at Asda in West Bridgford when a till valued a red cabbage at hundreds of pounds on Tuesday, November 15.

Mr Wright, would-be owner of the world's most expensive cabbage, explained the item's barcode had been crumpled up, and as a result, would not scan properly. But when a helpful Asda worker manually typed in the barcode's numbers a price of £700.92 came up. "The Asda employee had to type in the numbers under the barcode which generated the price on the screen as £700.92," Mr Wright said. He added the episode provided a moment of levity for surrounding shoppers. In the end the only option was pick up another cabbage, at a "more reasonable" 74p price tag.Mr Wright added: "After much toing and froing and giggles from fellow shoppers I had to get another one which would scan at the much more reasonable 74p.
