Honest shopper thread!

No, they would be quick to point out that "all change should be checked before leaving the store" if I went back in beause I had been short changed.

Usually because I forgot to do it properly, due to a hangover (part-time student job), rather than because of my charitable nature.

I think the Law Society would more than frown upon it if you didn't

(technicality wise)

Yup

Have done in the past, someone else's job could be on the line, I'd wouldn't like to think I could have done something to prevent it.

Am I really that overly nice and lame?

The SRA will ban me if I fart by the sounds of it :/

2 months. They sacked me eventually, not because of my cash-giving antics, but because (apparantly) I didn't smile enough.

fidget · 29 Mar 2011 at 00:44

Well,

Works both ways I guess

Getting sacked from a supermarket in 2 months is pretty difficult. You must have been really really crap.

Not that your likely to be bothered at being crap at a supermarket job.

Nope.

Well I was there for whatever the basic 'training' contract is for. 6 weeks at least I think. Maybe more. But I think it's fair to say I'll never be a model employee for any soulless megachain.

But yeah, the point is that aside from the occasional bit of free cash, I also undercharged for shopping etc and nobody EVER came back to me and said "actually I think you undercharged, here's the money I actually owe".

Tummy · 29 Mar 2011 at 00:53

Yeah, Unless I'm like half way home or something.

I normally count change as I leave the shop or add it up in my head while waiting (don't normally pay with cash anyway) but if it was wrong I'd say.

[FnG]magnolia · 29 Mar 2011 at 00:57

Yes, I would. 10 minutes of my time is worth less than 10 pounds of someone else's money.

thingemajib · 29 Mar 2011 at 01:06

lemme think about that for a sec

Honestly depends on the service I receive. If the person was rubbish, rude or I genuinely had a very unpleasant time, then no. Otherwise, yes I probably would. It does also depend on how far away I am from the store and other variables, mind.

"My god you have a long name"

Edit: but yeah I probably wouldn't. In fact at college the other day I bought a carton of orange juice and the cashier accidentally gave me back my money plus the change that she owed me. Of course I didn't notice this until she was long gone and this was a case of 65p or so.

This pretty much.
