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...👀

Also have to be an idiot to lose your job for £23.It would have purely been a mistake nothing more.

Definitely not on the same scale, but in Aldi yesterday we had two items double scanned when I checked the receipt (£3.99 big multipack of crisps and a £0.98p pack of salami) 😂

Still annoyed me despite not being a huge amount, food is expensive without being charged for items you don’t have!

The man is slowly dying let him eat his sandwiches

I wonder what's special about being 66 that means he can't help.

Df would be packing very carefully, and will be cooking their dinner, and he's 78.
Dh did the shopping with dd1 and unpacked it all when he came home and he's 50.

Obviously there must be an incompetent lull in between those ages where they're incapable of doing anything.

More recently than this, an undergraduate has told me the same and also about the double merchandise trick of a PP ( the extra champagne). Possibly that is why it is done.

Thanks, OP. I am sorry you’ve come in for snark for an informative post.

The technology to catch stealing from tills will obviously be far superior than 20 years ago and tills are CCTV monitored.

Come on. If a cashier is double scanning £50 worth of items they shouldn't be in the job.
One is an error. More in one order is utter incompetence or intentional

Pretty sure this is tongue in cheek
