To say nothing when I get undercharged in Morrisons?

[Poulay]

I've taken to shopping in Morrisons, rather than Waitrose, as they've (recently) got a much better selection of veg.

On one recent trip, I corrected them when my girolle mushrooms (£30/kg) were put through by the clueless till staff as king oyster (£19/kg), samphire (£12/kg) went through as chili (£5/kg), and so on.

Now, I've decided I'm saying nothing, they should know what they are selling.

Went in there today, bought some kai lan, air freighted from Thailand, supposed to be £9/kg, I had just under 400g, so £3.50 worth, I thought about using the self-scan checkout, but I decided to go through the till instead.

Waited quite a long time in the queue, then bloke looks blankly at the kai lan 'do you know what this is called?' 'er, kai lan', I say. He spends about sixty seconds scrolling through the different items before passing it through as.....

'bunch of thyme' (99p)

I smirk, say nothing, and walk out having saved about £2.60

AIBU?

Well you sound lovely

It's the smirk that makes you sound like a bit of a cowbag TBH rather than the dishonesty (such as it is)

What you doing buying stuff air freighted from Thailand ?!?

Will no-one think of the environment.

Bullshit does 'your' Morrisons sell anything other than 'button' 'closed cup' or 'bog standard' mushrooms- but thanks for the chuckle!

You are 29 but your dad died in 1972?

LMAO reminds me of one of the eccentric old ladies I used to look after who gave admiral nelson his last injection (he died 500 years before she was even born) then told us her Dad was born in the tower of London- she remembered it well

100 not 500 ffs!

Our local Morrisons have suddenly taken in a selection of vegetables that I've never even seen before. I plan on taking note next time I'm in and googling them to see if it's something amazing I'm missing out on!

YABABU tho purely because you sound pretty stuck up.

Don't mind the whiners OP, you're not dishonest. You are fucking hilarious though.

YABU - you should thwack the tiller around the head with your string of garlic (swing it like a lassoo first) for his ignorance.

The bloke on the checkout last night seemed pretty pissed off. I didn't even buy that many funny foreign vegetables, just a small handful of chanterelles and some echalion shallots. He found the chanterelles once I told him what they were, but he was looking for the shallots on the onion screen but they weren't there. I think he put them through as normal shallots in the end, but I'm not really sure.

Were you the woman that I posted a thead about last year? The one who had a meltdown in Sainsbury's because "There. Was. No. Tzat. ZIKI."?
