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?

An old acquaintance of mine told me her husband puts more than one bouquet in the flower plastic bags and scans just one, she was really proud of him, I was like erm 😐 okkkkkkk

BertaHoon · 15/01/2023 22:37

Have you benefitted from his krime though? Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. Scoffing stolen goods may get rid of the evidence, but where does it stop?
Jacking up on posh jam?
Sniffing onion powder to avoid the chopping?

Slippery slope OP.

I did find it odd last year when he came home with a Tesla but the bank statement read Ford Fiesta.

However, we've been together 18 years so I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt TBH...

I have nothing constructive to add but well done on the paronomasia (if that's what it is)!

It's kind of like when people without children park in the parent and child spots. It doesn't cost anyone anything financially but it's just a really shitty thing to do. Sure, you can 'get away with it' but if you're a decent person, you don't do it.

A bit like you can 'get away with' scanning a fancy doughnut as a cheaper ring doughnut. But if you're a decent person you just don't do it.

We all make our choices

Totally. Oh well karma will get them in the end 😏

Dreamstate · 16/01/2023 10:02

Doing this over some bloody doughnuts, this is really pathetic. If my partner told me they did that I'd lose so much respect for them.

Sparklingbrook · 16/01/2023 10:06

The OP is saying they've been together 18 years -that's an awful lot of doughnuts, and whatever else they are putting through at the wrong price.

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.

I wouldn’t say that’s the same thing at all. A dropped tenner is fair game if it is on public property and there is genuinely no clue as to who it belonged to. However, there are limits eg a larger sum of bank notes in an envelope should be reported as it is probably someone’s rent money/pension/wages which they could be desperately looking for.

This otoh is exactly the same as peeling off sale labels from a cheap item of clothing and sticking them onto a more expensive full price item (“they’re both dresses so it’s fine”). Theft with no grey area.

IRL people certainly do care. We don't like thieves.
Yes, he's amoral. You want the goods? You pay the advertised price, even if it takes the teeny bit more effort of going to a different screen.

Pretty sure Krispy Kreme are in boxes with scannable barcodes so there isn’t even that excuse!

I have bought them in Tesco, was using the self scan thing so scanned the bar code on the shelf. I wasn’t sure how it worked at a self scan checkout but thinking about it the bags and boxes have barcodes.
Unless he’s scanning it as a Tesco ring doughnut making the price difference even more. 🤔

Creamcrackersandricecakes · 16/01/2023 11:19

Not quite the same thing, but while I was looking at the bunches of flowers just outside the entrance at our local Tesco once, a bloke pulled up in the 'drop off' zone, got out and strolled over to where I was standing. He unhurriedly then selected a large bouquet and shook the water off the stems before returning to his car with it, (didn't run or anything), and driving off. V. expensive car too.
I was torn between being shocked and slightly awed by the cheeky bollocks on him. I mentioned it to a staff member who couldn't have been less interested and said it 'happens all the time'.

Sparklingbrook · 16/01/2023 11:40

Bit like the people who casually stroll into a shop, take something from the rack, then take it straight to the till for a refund claiming they don't have the receipt.

Bowbellsx · 16/01/2023 11:48

It’s a bloody donut not the Crown Jewels

Bowbellsx · 16/01/2023 11:49

I eat from the pic n mix too I’m a criminal

Frabbits · 16/01/2023 11:51

It's just a donut and a few pennies but this kind of thing just indicates someone with a shitty sense of morals, doesn't it?

Sparklingbrook · 16/01/2023 11:52

I never go near the Pic ‘n’ Mix for that reason and because people put their fingers in it. 🤢

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 16/01/2023 11:53

YANBU. Stinginess is so unattractive!

Also original glazed are the best. He’s kissing out

hotdiggetydog · 16/01/2023 12:00

Your husband is a c-nt whose theft is making things more expensive for everyone else.

Hope this helps.

SleeplessInEngland · 16/01/2023 12:04

I recall a policeman lost his job for doing something similar. Just a thought.

Somebody linked the article earlier in the thread, it was all a bit weird. £9.95 for the doughnuts and yet the shopping total was £4. Grin

At one point Tesco sold more carrots than they bought wholesale, because so many people were scanning nicer, more expensive items (cherries etc.) as carrots.

It must play havoc with their stock counts.

My M & S now has self serve tills in the clothing department and they’ve shrunk the ones staffed by humans considerably.
