Out Of Interest ....

[Bazile]

...what would you do if an item in your grocery was missed by the cashier and was not charged for ?

In our case we went back to supermarket and informed them
Price of item - £ 3.60

[ummmm]

I probably wouldn't even notice.

[gness]

Hi, Baz...it's happened and I've gone back to pay...x

[mccfluff]

o got a banana for free the other day as the till was playing up. depending on cost i might not notice, not sure if i'd take it back or night, might depend on where in the month i was....

[Spicerack]

Wouldn't know.

[Islay]

Probably wouldn't notice if I was in store - if it was home delivery I always check everything off and would probably not bother to report it!

You're AB's saint of the day, Bazile.

Well done, there's some stiff opposition.

[sunny-dave]

It depends how honest I think their tills are on a routine basis.

Aldi seem very straight - I've never spotted a mistake in their favour - so I'd tell them when I noticed.

The Co-op are a shambles - the number of twofer/meal/bogof deals that just don't seem to get implemented is scandalous - so I'd keep the occasional error in my favour to compensate for the many ones which favour them.

Tesco are somewhere between the two - so it would depend on my mood (and the value of the item) i guess.

I turned back to the cashier and paid for it (clove of garlic I'd missed taking out of the basket).

I've reported it to Waitrose on a Home Delivery and was thanked for letting them know but told to keep it. It was about the same price as yours Bazile.

[sunny-dave]

Yes - please add Waitrose and Ocado to my 'straight' list - I'd always tell them.

On two occasions after checking my home delivery I have found an item I did not order. Both times I notified the supermarket and both times I was told to keep the item.

[-Talbot-]

I doubt if I would notice but if I did notice ... Back of the net!

Before barcodes fiddling was rife in supermarkets. The assistant would have a small tin of beans (I'm going back to the days when they cost 6d) and ring the price in with every customer. Very few noticed, but if someone did the excuse was, "Oh, is that not yours? Someone must have left it behind". The non-technical term for the money thus raised was 'the bunce'.

[Bazile]

I wasn't charged after telling them - probably because i pointed out that i had to use petrol in returning to the store

[-Talbot-]

You seem to take your shopping far too seriously, sonny.

[woofgang]

On several occasions I have had items in my home delivery that I had not ordered or paid for and I have always told the supermarket. If its perishable I have always been told to keep the item. On the only occasion when it wasn't perishable, it was a whole bag of very expensive cat food. The driver was called and came rushing back for it as it was a large part of someone else's order.

[sunny-dave]

A man has to have a hobby, talbot - and I'm too old for toyboys.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm quite sure I have arrived home after a big shop with the occasional free item and not noticed.

I too have had items I didn't order in my home deliver, usually report and told to keep.

[Spicerack]

Probably docked it from the poor cashier's wages. Lol.
