Not me, but a young colleague at work.

High street travel agent advertising Euros at 1.14 on line but when he went to the high street shop he was given nearer 1.06
Being a bit short of time he didn't check until he got back from lunch, daft I know. Has he got any come back?

High streets often offer a rate on a card as opposed to cash. Nearly got caught out with that one myself once. Now I always buy on line.

It's to pay for the overheads of having the shop available to just pop in to.

Although you can book online and collect in store? Bit like any online shop which also has a high street presence Sainsburys/tescos/argos/boots, to name a few, all of these are able to provide the same price for a product.
