Sly extra spending at Morrisons (insert other supermarket as preferred)

I’m sorry! I know - I’m like Scrooge!

I forgot ‘tis the season to randomly bring your husband’s penis into a conversation about supermarket checkouts!

All that ham is really bad for him. It’s not so much cold meat, it’s processed meat and it massively increases chance of cancer.

Perhaps the OP spent years teaching him not to fiddle with it at the till and load the shopping instead?

Why are you discussing you husbands penis sorry? I'm lost.

Why are you being so mean-spirited. Bugger off if you don't like the thread.

ITS CHRIiiiiiSTMAS!

Posters must have a complete sense of humour bypass on your lovely thread, you're being very patient.

Gold medals 🎖️ 🏅 for you and DH, and well done for spotting the double-scans. I'm going to check our bill because we did our "big shop" today but we didn't buy any champers.

I don’t get why you would put all that extra information about your infertility and your husband’s heart attack to try (unsuccessfully) to make people feel guilty about their comments and then ruin it all with that gross comment about his penis.

Your “jokes” are nowhere near as funny as you think they are, even when you insert so many of your own laughing emojis.

The cashier sounds careless (chatting to colleagues), not sly.

As for 'he is mine, and so is his penis.' Jesus, rein it in OP.

I always use a credit card as there is often cashback or points for vouchers, paid off in full each month and used for everything, I'm sure OP will be doing the same.

I think it's meant as a joke, but would have no need to refer to my husband like that, either.

I used to work in a supermarket as a teenager. If it was quiet, I would sometimes double scan things. Then, after the customer had paid and left, I would void one of the duplicate items and pocket the cash from the till. So to anyone looking through the transactions, it looked like I had accidentally double scanned, the customer had paid, then one of us had noticed my "error", which I had dutifully rectified. I'd be £10 or 15 richer by the end of the shift, and my till would never be short.
That was 20 years ago, mind, so I'm sure the technology on the tills has changed and I guess most people pay by card these days anyway. But it's not beyond the realms of possibility that supermarket workers have figured out a way tto play the system and to personally benefit from ripping off customers.
And yes, I realise this was an abhorrent thing to do. I must have stolen from people from every walk of life - people who were wealthy, and people who were struggling. I can't justify or excuse it. I'm just saying it's possible that similar is still going on.

He pays it off at the end of the month I expect, just like me. Everything goes on my credit card.

I always double check my receipt since Sainsburys charged me for 22 loaves of bread instead of 2 about a decade ago.

I probably spot errors 50% of the time. Usually with yellow stickered stuff not discounting properly or other offers.

Morrisons today somehow managed not to charge me for Brussels (10p), but charged me for Sicilian lemonade which I hadn't bought instead (£2.30). The person refunding didn't question it either and just refunded it so maybe it was linked to the system issues mentioned by a pp.

If could afford to retire at 56, why does he need to use credit to pay for food at Christmas?

The interest rates will probably cost him more than Morrisons double scanning.

I always glance over the receipts as it does happen more often than it should

What's in it for the cashier to "slyly" over-charge you on a credit-card?

More profits for the huge conglomerate they work for? 🤑😑🙄

It's not like they're getting to slip what they've overcharged you in their pocket, is it?

I work in a supermarket and I'm sure iv double scanned multiple things over the years but I'm sure iv also not scanned multiple things over the years so it balances out. I would always say to anyone check your receipt but also be mindful of how much about you have spent £50 over is significant and can be double checked easier and sorted at the till before you pay.

Not double scanning but I've noticed they have removed the cold meat offer on ham just in time for Christmas my dad buys meat weekly as he lives on sandwiches so his shop is way more expensive

A bit nasty. OP was just setting the scene.
I enjoyed her light humour.

Remember she also said ‘I took on the packing duty, (seasoned experience applies) and we had us all done in due course.’

She’s being ironic and not taking herself too seriously. Maybe you should take a leaf from her book and chill out.

Was this meant tongue in cheek? Thats the easy bit! Why wasn’t he helping to pack?

I’m not sure what you’re suggest was happening? That the cashier was doing it deliberately - so as to make more money for the shop (unlikely) or to take matching items for herself (difficult to pull off without taking notes)? Or that they are slap dash at this time of year?

?
My DH is 68 and goes to the supermarket (and pays!) every week....
What's your point?

I agree. This part sounds like a badly written self publicised novel. Vom!
