I know, and it's quite right that they do that.


I bought my last printer there.


But they don't wait till you've got outside and then accost you in a street crowded with Christmas shoppers, and continue even after being shown the receipt.


It really shakes you up in any case being accused of something you haven't done, let alone in a place where some of the passers by are likely to know you.


I made the point to M&S that it was quite likely that people we didn't know would know who we were, because of our involvement in local music and community events.

I went in B and M on old kent road a couple of years sago

bought some coffee on offer and a bag of sugar,

didnt want to pay for bag, so held goods in my hands.

Decided to look in PC world Currys at their ovens

had a good look round, left store to be chased out accusing me for nicking coffee

they sent a poor junior, probably because i looked /Fearsome

I said to them but you dont sell coffee,

they told me they do, they sell pods not jars

lucky had receipt in pocket for B&M s

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
