  • check ur receipts b4 leaving the chk out

    I was sent this by a trusted source so I have no need to doubt that it may not be true.

    >
    > I bought a bunch of stuff, over £150, & I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of £40. I told her I didn't request a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take the £40 because she couldn't delete it. I told Her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it.. I said NO! Taking the £40 would be a cash advance against my Credit card & I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything! The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of £20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came out right. The cashier agreed that the Electronic Pad must be defective.
    >
    > Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because she NEVER offered me the £40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?
    >
    > Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford , Sainsburys last week. She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for £20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!
    >
    > My co-worker called Sainsburys who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this. This is a new scam going on. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in the queue.

        Not sure about your item Frisp, what I do know there are a lot of pricing mistakes made and it was on the news this morning.
        Many of the bargains and cuts they advertise are not being put into their systems as it is done centrally and therefore some supermarkets are making mistakes.
        They I believe do have to stand by what they are advertising so beware and stick to your righs if it happens to you.

          even if the above is not correct i believe it is still a good warning to us all to be on our gaurd at this festive period whether that be at an atm or instore
          If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.
