Would you complain if cashier forgot to take security tag off item, resulting in bleeper going off & security running after you demanding to see your receipt.

I know mistakes happen, but surely to god cashiers in shops are used to seeing security tags on items!

Nope I wouldn't complain, shit happens!

No but I would expect all the employees to treat me politely at all times and to apologise profusely when it became clear it was a cashier’s mistake.

To be fair the handful of times it has happened it has always been like that.

Nope cos I'm not a twat

It’s not my job to check the cashier is doing her job!
I was busy packing my bags and didn’t notice, probably because I expected the tag to be removed.

I complained.

Well then, YWBU. And mean.

No it's just a mistake.

You complained? You know that poor cashier will be in trouble for something that got fixed before you even got off the premises and was. Simple mistake. You’re an arsehole!

Get over yourself.

I dunno about this because it can be very embarrassing for the customer when this opens. If they were apologetic I'd be ok but not if they were dismissive, I'd complain then.

*happens

I complained

Did it make you feel good

I had left the shop and was walking to my car! People saw it happening, maybe someone I know? I was made to produce my receipt ( which I couldn’t find for a few minutes ) and then had to go back to the shop to have the tag removed.
It was extremely embarrassing.

I would not look forward to a world under your rule Surferjet.

I think you're being ridiculous. It's a mistake. Have you never made a mistake?

I've twice got home and found a tag not removed. Also once went into a shop and set their alarm off as the tag hadn't been taken off in previous shop. Had my bag searched etc. It's pretty standard.

Christ there’s some dickheads about.

In that situation you've just described in the update, I'd be really embarrassed and I think I'd have complained too.
In my student days something similar happened and a plain clothes store detective clapped me on the shoulder and frog-marched me to the till.
I felt like a thief but was too shocked/timid to say anything. No way I'd put up with that now.

Get a grip.

Yes, inconvenient, but really....

And if I saw this happen I would assume ‘oh, forgotten tag removal ‘ not ‘OP is a thief ‘.

What do you want a complaint to achieve? The shop know now that they made a mistake.Why spend the time?

I wouldn't keep walking if I set the bleep off
If security didn't come to me I'd go back to the cashier

Well, you are a bit high maintenance aren't you ?

😂😂😂 it was embarrassing! Christ

You must have a very easy life @surferjet if this has caused you such embarrassment and cause to complain.

what a nasty mean thing to do. Feel proud of yourself?

May I ask - was that today? Also, what was the tagged item?
