Thank you to the woman who stole my Waitrose shopping

[Carolyntobin]

This is a message to the lovely East Dulwich female resident who when the Waitrose driver went back to her house to collect some of my items he had accidentally left with her my shopping refused to hand them back. I very much hope you enjoy the dog food, wine and other items and that my croissants are not too dry in your throat.

[spider69]

Why not give the address and name and shame?

[Carolyntobin]

Sadly don't know it, just that she was the drop before mine

[spider69]

Just shows some Waitrose shoppers are all furs coats and no knickers

[Carolyntobin]

Indeed, taking things that don't belong to you is just not the done thing!

[voltore]

haha love the croissant line though

[miga]

Person sounds like a sociopath.

[Sue]

Waitrose should charge her for them.

What have they had to say about it?

[ruffers]

Not sure how they could Sue, it's their error.

[JohnL]

It's Waitrose issue - they can sue and ban the lady I'd think (and would do so).

I wouldn't even want to know the story - Waitrose - Where is my food ?

Did they give a coupon as well as the refund ??

Edit: To be honest I wouldn't like it if they gave me someone else's stuff either

but I'd obviously return it - I would want to check everything with the receipt then

however.

[Otta]

Do you know if she actually refused to return items, or denied having them?

[Otta]

Either way, Waitrose won't have charged you for them, and should redeliver.

[Louisa]

If I see the word 'Waitrose' on this forum one more time.....

But is it Waitrose or Ocado?

[red devil]

Waitrose and Ocado have separate delivery services...

Yeah I'm sure the OP will get a refund... but not really the point.

[peckham_ryu]

Theft. Legally and morally.

There's not a judge in the land that wouldn't sentence her to two weeks of dog food, wine and stale croissant as her only permitted diet.

[Ladysaw]

I guess the dog food found it's owner :O)

That's not the point. She has kept stuff that isn't hers and that she hasn't paid for.

If you gave me a thousand pounds by mistake and I kept it, that would be OK then because it was your error?

No difference in principle.

But of course Waitrose should well compensate the OP who has been left without part of her shopping.

[Louisa]

There really are some scum in this world. Keeping something that isn't there's. For all she knew this could have belonged to a disabled or elderly person with limited access to the outside world, reliant on home delivery.

Yep, it's a bit like when a bank accidentally credits someone's account, unfortunately you can't keep it... :)

I recently had a driver try and deliver a load of groceries to me which were for another house completely.

He wouldn't have realised if I hadn't told him I hadn't ordered any groceries!
