just been reading doog's lucky sack barrow find ;)
Got me thinking, went to halfords after work to buy some tyre cleaner @ £6.49 when i got to the till they had a special on Zipwax shampoo £1.99/L instead of £3.99 if purchased with anything else. i asked if I could buy 2 and the young lad rang it through the till..
and I paid £6.48 for the lot! ::)
Turns out there was a 3for2 offer on all cleaning crap so the 2nd zipwax was free (-£3.99) and then he applied the -£2 code twice to the rest = result.
Was it stealing? :-/
frankly I don't give a shit because halfrauds charge too much in the first place but please discuss :)
-
I suspect that's the price they choose to pay for not putting well-trained people on the tills.
You could argue that they did you a special deal. I doubt if it's stealing.
From the sound of it you would only have got more off if you'd pointed it out!!!
-
I placed 2 item on the counter infront of the girl at the till, she charged me for just one! :-? ..... and it was the cheaper of the 2 :-/
I did my bit, the girl undercharged me, it's not up to me to add up for her.
-
It's not your fault you were charged wrongly. Unfortunately the minimum wage till boy will get royally shafted by his gaffer for a drop in profits.
-
I'd say break em!Most of the staff in these stores are total Dunderheads and if you had pointed out the bleedin obvious you would have had some puss eject from their pubescent faces all over you as they guffaw at their mistake and then still get it wrong. Either that or put a call out and then you get two guffawing morons like Beavis and Butthead making you look like a right tit as neither can get it right now.I bet you could ride a bike out of there and no one would question you-now THATS theft :o :o
-
No that isnt stealing....unlike Doug you have at least attempted to pay and it isnt your fault either the system or the person using it ballsed up......

Sorry, i didnt post that to offend you Doug, just a comparison thats all
:)

im not offended
I try not to get upset at computers

Same as the b&q tricks i used to get upto.You buy some bags of sand or whatever,and if i had to get anything smaller,that would be under the bags hidden.Its not your fault they hadent checked the trolley when you get to tills,after all its only stealing when you stick things in your bag or pocket. ::)
-
Not sure if stealing but dishonest, :-/:-/:(
Bet if they charged you for an item twice you would complain.
A major supermarket double scanned a item I bought got a refund no problem three weeks later. If they had missed an item I would tell them
but that's me.

Not sure why you would want to post this on open forum ????

Not paid belong to store.

every buggers done it but on an open forum they wont say and when its someone else its easy to say (ooh you should of taken that sack cart into the store or you should have told mr acneson mcspotty behind the till youve discounted me twice)but in the real world you smile and exit the building while clutching the few pound youve saved.
oh asda delivered today and when we unpacked there was a multiseed loaf in there we didnt order..should i jump in my car and take it store..i dont think so ive jjust had a slice thick with butter lovely ;)

That's the same as putting them "in your bag or pocket". The concealing of goods with the intent of not paying for them. It's not "tricks", it's theft !!
At the checkout the customer offers up or declares the goods they wish to purchase. It's not some kind of 'find the item' game the cashier has to play before the customer has to pay.
If someone noticed you doing that before approaching the tills and then observed you not advising the cashier when paying, you'd be stopped as you exited the store and given a free ride in a real police car. (They may even switch on the flashing lights and the woowoo machine, if you asked nicely.)

hi doog,
It wasnt you who found the £2 million pound worth of gold Neckbands in a field near Blair Drummond Safari Park in Scotland was it.?
Or was it some other "accidental" opportunist "accidentally" wandering about with a metal detector, who was hoping not to "accidentally" find anything worthwhile whilst wandering through a recently ploughed field.
Funny how it is frowned upon to "accidentally " find something of little value, but totally acceptable to deliberately go out with a metal detector to deliberately find and appropriate items that are potentially worth millions of pounds, and which have definately never belonged to you !!
Doog,
Under Scottish common law
Under the common law of Scotland, the law of treasure trove was and still is a specialised application of the general rule governing bona vacantia ("vacant goods") – that is, objects that are lost, forgotten or abandoned. The rule is quod nullius est fit domini regis: "that which belongs to nobody becomes our Lord the King's [or Queen's]".
The Crown in Scotland has a prerogative right to treasure trove for it is one of the regalia minora ("minor things of the King"), that is, property rights which the Crown may exercise as it pleases and which it may alienate (transfer to another party). As the Scottish law of treasure trove on the matter has not changed, it is discussed in the "Present-day legal definitions" section below, under the subheading "Scotland". as link below.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_trove
In short. you should really parcel up the £15 trolley, and let the Queen see it, just in case she decides to keep it.
If she doesn,t... then she will send it back to you if she can be bothered .
IMHO i would suggest that you take it back to B+Q car park, and leave it where you found it ... as that would be less bother, and cheaper than "sending it to the Queen"
Hope this clears things up for all of you ??

We had a Tesco delivery last year that had 2 x 8 packs of posh yogurts that we had not ordered. I rang Tesco and they told me to keep them :y I rang because I was worried about the driver getting into trouble..... :)
