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

[Rudicoolcat]

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...👀

I always use a credit card as there is often cashback or points for vouchers, paid off in full each month and used for everything, I'm sure OP will be doing the same.

The cashier sounds careless (chatting to colleagues), not sly.

As for 'he is mine, and so is his penis.' Jesus, rein it in OP.

I don’t get why you would put all that extra information about your infertility and your husband’s heart attack to try (unsuccessfully) to make people feel guilty about their comments and then ruin it all with that gross comment about his penis.

Your “jokes” are nowhere near as funny as you think they are, even when you insert so many of your own laughing emojis.

Posters must have a complete sense of humour bypass on your lovely thread, you're being very patient.

Gold medals 🎖️ 🏅 for you and DH, and well done for spotting the double-scans. I'm going to check our bill because we did our "big shop" today but we didn't buy any champers.

Why are you being so mean-spirited. Bugger off if you don't like the thread.

ITS CHRIiiiiiSTMAS!

Why are you discussing you husbands penis sorry? I'm lost.

Perhaps the OP spent years teaching him not to fiddle with it at the till and load the shopping instead?

All that ham is really bad for him. It’s not so much cold meat, it’s processed meat and it massively increases chance of cancer.

I’m sorry! I know - I’m like Scrooge!

I forgot ‘tis the season to randomly bring your husband’s penis into a conversation about supermarket checkouts!

Its not like that now we can't even open the till unless someone is paying cash also we have cameras above the tills that can be zoomed right into your hands. There is literally no way I would be able to benefit from this unless I just nicked money from the till which wouldn't take them long to realise

She only brought that up after posters started taking the piss. Why is it ok for posters to take the piss but not OP?

Are you alright?

Same happened to me in marks and Spencer. I bought 7 tins of biscuits- got charged for 14.

I had bought a lot of other items so when the bill came to £171 I did gulp a bit but thought maybe I’d underestimated what I’d spent.
Id left the store and was stood waiting for DH to come around with the car.

I glanced at the receipt and saw the mistake so went back into store. Refund of £49. I could easily have let that go under my radar!

I have been overcharged in stores much more than undercharged.

I think supermarkets are really strict with their staff. She surely wasn’t scanning double on purpose so she could take a bottle of champagne and whatever else she’d double scanned home. She’d have to keep a running list of what she had and get it out of the shop without being challenged for a receipt. It’s quite risky.

Plus be able to get the tags off not be caught on camera and supermarkets do bag, pocket, car and locker searches on their staff

Ah the bar is below ground then. Apparently I'm more optimistic about the state of men than I thought I was.
Thank god he had all those years of training to take things out of the trolley and manly pay in a manly way though. Time well spent.

It's certainly not young. And I say that as someone who is hurtling towards my 60s!

Nasty?! That's the funniest post on the thread! 😂 (And there have been some cracking contenders!) 😆

😂

Not sure what’s so funny about one person loading the conveyor belt and one person packing the bags.

You do you though.

If you’re 66, Al Pacino could just about be your dad! Some people in their 60s love to pretend they’re older than they are.

Supermarket as a whole? None.
That particular cashier who, if the customer doesn't twig the double scanned champagne, can take one off the shelves and nick it, as the stock of that item will tally.

The 'born in the 50s' husband is only 5 years older than Brad Pitt, who I don't think we'd write off as a little old man doing well to get things out of a trolley.

Ah yes - that's the way to do it these days with electronic tills and cameras trained on the cashiers. I knew there would be a way!
