I am an embarrassment
« on: 17 September 2015, 11:23:42 »

Just been to asda to pick up a few bits, as I do most days. A young lady approached me and asked if she could have a word. Only too keen, l followed her to a private corner........where she told me I had walked out on Monday without paying for my shopping  :o

She was sure it was an accident as I go there most days. She showed me the receipt and it was indeed my shop. I apologised profusely and paid up.  :-[

I'm sure she knew I hadn't done it on purpose but, the more I spoke, the more my accent made her suspicious, so I beat a hasty retreat  ;D

I'll feel like I'm being watched now.  :(

You are indeed a dodgy bugger!  ::)  But if you walked out without paying, where and how did she get a receipt?  :-\

Every till is self serve, they can do all sorts with them. There is a bank of screens behind the counter, showing what each till is doing and each one is on camera.
Did you think they still use 'open all hours' tills, Tigger?  ;D

Don't tell Opti about this thread, he'll have no sympathy for me and may even call me a thieving barsteward.  :(

Don't worry. I usually pay and then walk out without my shopping.  ;D

Check out regional accents on the internet and you'll find that Liverpool/scouse is the least trusted.\

Apparently Edinburgh or 'educated scots'  is the most trusted which is why it is often used to sell financial products.

I didn't realise you'd scanned everything as you didn't mention anything about the checkout.  ::)  I just assumed that you filled up your 'Bag For Life' and walked out!  :P

I just can't imagine Steve leaving the shop without paying. It just doesn't sound like something a scouser would do. ::) ::) :)
