This needs to get off my chest

Supermarkets really can't be trusted, and I should know as I used to work for one.
My latest gripe - the latest way in which they are using skullduggery and trickery to catch people out - is a "3 for a tenner" offer that my local hyperstore is fooling people with. It says that you can get any meat or fish products that have a certain sticker on at the bargain price of £10 for any three items. What they don't tell you is that the offer applies to meat or fish, not a combination of both. So, if you pick up two packs of chicken wings and a Sunday joint - fine. If you pick up two packs of salmon and some smoked haddock -fine. But if you pick up some sausages, some pork chops and then a pack of cod fillets, then the deal doesn't apply and you pay full price. The sticker is exactly the same across the products, the signage clearly says "meat and fish" and the information is deliberately misleading and designed to catch people out.  And you're only going to notice if, like me, you have a deep distrust of large companies and an insider knowledge of some of the underhanded tricks they use. Because let's not kid ourselves - this is done deliberately.
The whole thing is set up to catch people out, and if they only get one customer an hour who doesn't realise when they're at the till that no discount has been applied, then they're increasing their already massive profits.
Bastards.
