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

Just a heads up for folks to keep their eyes on the cashier whilst packing up your Christmas big shop into bags.

Husband was brilliant in loading the conveyor with big shop and dutifully stood uncomplaining with wallet in hand to pay.

I took on the packing duty, (seasoned experience applies) and we had us all done in due course. Cashier certainly did not rush, chatting to her colleague about their breakfast....

Anyway, when we were told the total by the cashier I asked her to double check as I was sure I'd seen her double scan a bottle of champagne. Prefuse apologies received, machine checked and double scan hastily removed. Husband then happily paid.

Before leaving the till area a quick scan of the receipt showing more double scanning, in excess of £23!

Had to go to customer service for refund to husband's debit card. Assistant there didn't bat an eyelid, didn't want to check anything and refunded amount in record time. We thought she must be used to providing double scan refunds at this time of year. If we hadn't checked, we'd be nearly £50 out of pocket!!!

Just another shopper trying keep the cost of living to the cost of living, and not unnecessarily adding to the profits of the supermarket!

Keep 'em peeled...👀

What is so brilliant about a man loading the conveyor belt, and taking out his wallet to pay for the shopping? Confused

Does your husband 'help you with housework' too @Rudicoolcat Is he 'good' like this?

Their online shopping (through Amazon) will often put 2 of an item in your basket when you were sure you only pressed for 1. I always check this now.

It’s a simple mistake when people are busy , it hardly benefits the cashier or do you think that they get the extra as a Christmas bonus .

Ummm... in what world does this merit praise? Presumably you wouldn't expect to be described as 'brilliant' for putting things on a supermarket conveyor belt and handing over a credit card without complaining? Why would he complain? I assume the food is for him too? Confused

Suddenly the self checkouts look more attractive.

I usually use the self checkouts to be honest

It sounds like they are rushing to keep up leading to doubling scanning errors. It's not ideal to always have to check receipts but human errors will happen.
