Possible checkout fraud at Sainsburies DKH

[HAL9000]

We're only speculating - I'm sure no supermarket chain would knowingly run an illegal checkout scam.

They?re already making huge profits from downsizing products and repackaging them in bigger containers, offering deceptive ?specials? or bogus discounts and many other sleights of hand ? why would they bother with fraud?

A rogue checkout programmer might chance it, though.

I must try that pea scam.

Is it not better to use something that comes in a brown cardboard box, though, so that the stuck-on bit is better camoflaged against the TV box?

No wonder you ended up in Wormwood scrubs.

And Tesco is the place you really have to check your receipt. Multibuy offers show up at the till about 50% of the time, they do really dodgy things like not having the item on the shelf match the price tag underneath and you think you are grabbing a bargain, but you have bought something impreceptibly different to but twice the price of what you wanted.

What a Silly Ibilly accusing a lowly paid worker scamming over a miserly 65p.

No doubt, Damian H will claim all supermarket fraud are conducted by checkout operators.

I did day 'possible' in the title - water in bacon and meat to add to their crimes against humanity.

So... you went back to SainsBURY'S and mentioned this oddity yes? What happened then?

I got talking to a bloke while I was sitting on a seat on the Rye, he said he got arrested as he left ASDA for stealing. He asked the Security Guard what made him suspicious, he said the label was showing, but what really made him arrest him was he was wearing the white shirt over his Hooddie.

I told him of the person who was put in my room to share while I took that Holiday, as they were getting over booked.

He told me he was a Taxi Driver, who had been arrested for Antisocial Behaviour, I asked him if he minded if I used the lower bunk as I cant climb to the top bunk. He was quite agreeable, but I soon became very uncomfortable with his personal belongings that he insisted in storing under my bunk sticking through the thin mattress into my back, it was getting like a Fakir's bed of nails, I was not sorry when my Free Holiday came to an end.

Free coffee from pret last week, after buying a coffee there every day for a month.

Think they were allowed to make that judgement though :)
