Is it stealing part 2
« on: 01 April 2010, 22:20:29 »
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

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.
