New World pricing glitch forces two North Island stores to close

A pricing error at New World has left shoppers wondering whether their checkout total was a little too generous. The chain acknowledges that a glitch may have caused some customers to be overcharged for everyday items.

At least two North Island stores were forced to shut their doors temporarily while managers sort out the mess and ensure the shelves are displaying the right numbers.

Meanwhile, staff at other locations are busy double‑checking the accuracy of prices for every product on the floor, hoping to catch any stray digits before they cause another surprise at the till.
