I found a £20 note in one at Tesco once. Handed it in. Sigh. Anyhoo, I went back later that evening and the person came back, after checking CCTV they gave it to her. True story.

To make you less of a criminal, you should give me half of your winnings

I did this yesterday in work, though not to you obviously. Went to get some peanut M&Ms from the vending machine, noticed that there was 50p credit showing so got a free packet of M&Ms! Shared half with bloke i was playing pool with, made me feel half as guilty

They can backtrace you now

Good, they deserve it for buying such **** self-service machines.

The only good ones I've found were in the Tesco Extra in Sheffield. The ones we have in Morrisons here are horrendous, I hope they start spitting out £20 notes.

Worst Self Service Checkouts I have used have been in Wilkinsons in Bury Greater Manchester, they are worse than Morrisons trust me LOL
In them you put your money in the bottom and your change comes out the top almost at head height so if your short or a little old lady you can't reach it... & the screen as only about 7" too so quote small to read.

You realize that when Asda notice the discrepancy they are going to go straight to the CCTV, don't you?

for certain and while once may be seen as a mistake the act of doing it again will clearly be seen as theft

Ewaf · 21 Jun 2011 at 11:37

Lol nice, I probably wouldn't have the balls to keep doing it and just walk away with double change, but fairplay it's not your fault and I seriously doubt they are going to become bankrupt over this.

P.S., which store and self service checkout number

darubio · 21 Jun 2011 at 11:41

You can argue that you didn't count your change... come on who actually stands and counts change from these machines.

ASDA might ban from store but they would not pursue this case neither would the police.

I had this in Blackpool pleasure beach on the puggies (fruit machines) I had this pound coin that gave 5 goes and came out the bottom. I emptied the machine two nights in a row. Imagine my disgust on the third night when I found said machine out of order. I'd a good mind to write a letter of complaint

CircleFaust · 21 Jun 2011 at 11:46

i probably would have taken the first double money and left and not tried my luck!! does it make you feel better you stole even more

Ewaf · 21 Jun 2011 at 11:47

You should have picked up a massive 40inch tv from the shelf, scanned it, paid, receive double change, ching ching

misterPK · 21 Jun 2011 at 11:48

I found a pound in one of those once, and stuck it in a charity box. It made me feel smug and self-righteous for the rest of the day.

Once was a mistake/Ok but the rest is just Theft but as it's a supermarket chain I don't care as I hate supermarkets with a Passion.

Do they zoom in and count your change?

Rids · 21 Jun 2011 at 11:51

You think the police are going to bother with a case like this? Please.

A couple of months back there was a cash point paying out double cash just around the corner from my office. A massive queue formed, with people waiting in excess of 30 minutes to take out as much cash as they possibly could, using every card in their purse, etc. I didnt get involved in this, as to be honest I was in the pub having a beer at the time and I couldnt be bothered, but not a single person from my office has been chased over what are some rather large sums of money, and there is much more of an audit trail with something like this than there would be with what the OP has done.

I'm not saying its right, I'm just saying all the 'You are going to get in trouble with the police' crowd are having a bubble.

the tills get counted each morning and have a printout of the nights transactions,the till will be quite short and will have the time printed out on the printout as to when the till was short.

then go back onto cctv to said time and it will show the person on the till.

then go onto the camera on the front door and it will show the person coming back in and out.

i done 5 years as security at tesco and have done this several times for the police.
