Today I found out that DP, when buying Krispy Kremes always self scans them as ring donuts even if he's buying the more expensive ones with a filling. AIBU to be outraged?

Loving the title

If supermarkets are expecting customers to do the job of actual paid staff for free via self-checkouts then they shouldn't be surprised when customers cream a little off the top by mis-pricing items. A little bit of payback for all the jobs they got rid of by bringing in so much self-scan.

Yeah damn right.

And if they also expect customers to go and collect the items off the shelf too, then surely theft related to that is fine too!!!

I also can't get worked up about someone stealing what essentially amounts to 40p on a doughnut. Hardly the heist of the century.

I don't know if that's the actual price difference but it doesn't sound like a one off. If he does it daily then it's not just 40p.

SnackyOnassis · 15/01/2023 19:40

This title has made me so happy!

Also I know it's wrong and a krime, but when we were kids my dad used to put nine oranges in a bag when it was 8 for £1 or whatever, and when we asked him about it with all the self-righteousness of catholic school children, he said the extra one was to make up for the one orange in the bag that would inevitably go bad.

This seemed perfectly logical to us, so I feel with my family history of grifting satsumas I couldn't possibly pass judgement on your husband.

Just here for the thread title, brilliant! Not sure of the price difference tbh, I also find it odd that people literally walk out with alcohol and meat in plain view and no one does anything, yet there's resources to go through cctv tapes to match people to scanning doughnuts incorrectly? 🤣

Greyhave · 15/01/2023 19:42

YANBU he’s a thief.

Pterrydactyl · 15/01/2023 19:42

Krispy Krime 🤣 Don’t know if that’s a typo or not, but great title 🤣

Seriously though, it’s theft.
Not a big theft, admittedly, but enough to cause him problems if the supermarket security catch on to what he’s doing and he gets prosecuted for shoplifting.
And if he keeps doing this, he’ll get caught sooner or later.

Still a thief

MolkosTeenageAngst · 15/01/2023 19:53

I do this quite often because the plain donuts/ pastries/ bread rolls etc usually come up on the main page as common items whereas the fancier ones involve a search and often when I’m in a rush I can’t be bothered with the extra steps involved, especially as self scan checkouts glitch so often you have to factor in standing there for an age waiting for the assistants to stop talking about what they saw on telly last night to come and fix the machine’s issues. I usually just put things from the bakery through as something cheap I think it will be a similar weight to on the first search page, life’s too short to be faffing about trying to find the exact item.

RiceRiceBaby16 · 15/01/2023 19:54

I find this so funny 😂 as if the billionaires who own Tesco/ Morrisons / Sainsbury's will be affected by someone paying 30p less on an insanely overpriced donut. And I know you might say it adds up. But clearly not as they wouldn't still be racking up their riches.

Notellinganyone · 15/01/2023 19:55

I’d be more worried he’s got such terrible food taste!

From what I can gather it’s scanning anything incorrectly not just stuff like doughnuts. Because the same people are most likely scanning all sorts of stuff incorrectly.
And using their loyalty cards 🙄

Muffincupcakeheeler · 15/01/2023 19:55

It's a genius idea but I'd be to scared that security would stop me on the way out and would rather not get banned for scanning other donuts 😂

Flapjackquack · 15/01/2023 19:56

Krispy Krime is brilliant, YANBU for that alone.

But you are also NBU for thinking your partner is a thief. Would give me the ick as they say.

Ilovelurchers · 15/01/2023 19:56

Better start baking a cake with a file in it OP. The net is probably tightening around him as we speak....

No they won’t be affected, because they raise the prices for us muggins to absorb the cost. So people who think this is ok are long term screwing over themselves and friends / family.

10/10 on the title though

Sparklingbrook · 15/01/2023 19:58

The weirdest thing is why he told @NotSonicTheHedgehog he was doing it.

I kind of agree with this. The supermarkets must factor this in and have decided it’s still worth it for them.

I use the scan as you shop gun things in my local Tesco and used to get random spot checked maybe 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 visits.

Since they got rid of even more manned checkouts and now they are all pretty much self service I haven’t been spot checked at all in months.

D'uh. It's not them though 🙄 Those costs get past on time the consumer. You and Me.

VladmirsPoutine · 15/01/2023 19:33

I don't think you'll get many people on Mumsnet who'll think it ok. I'm not saying it's the same but this is the same forum people will randomly find a £10 note on the street and other posters will encourage them to contact the police to launch an investigation into who the tenner belongs to before the OP can be given clearance to spend it.

😂

AlbertaAnnie · 15/01/2023 19:59

Krispy Krime - 😂 I thought I was going to read a thread about a doughnut loving detective!

MrNook · 15/01/2023 20:00

Genius! I'd do the same 😆

NutellaEllaElla · 15/01/2023 20:01

Yeah of course it doesn't mean much to supermarket owners, but it's dishonesty when it would be so easy to just be honest and would barely cost a thing. Makes him untrustworthy IMO. Twisted morality. I just want to be with someone honest with good moral fibre. So it's offputting for me.

MrsTerryPratchett · 15/01/2023 20:02

Tea leafing sugary crap. He's quite the catch.

Iguanainanigloo · 15/01/2023 20:03

When I worked at a supermarket we realised one day, a regular customer was putting all their food on the weighing scales and saying it was bananas & carrots as they're so cheap per kilo! It wouldn't upset the bagging area, as they were technically paying for the correct weight... but for bloody bananas instead of sirloin steak and other expensive goods 😂😱 they got banned, but no doubt just started doing it at the other local supermarket! Never shocked me what people try and get away with.
