If you had read the whole thread. The general consensus was that he is a thief. There were then a few pages of "Thief" definitions. no one really gives a toss and we can file this thread under "Trivial Daily GD Crap".

My first ever legal drink was bought with a £10 note, and I got more than £15 in change. It still makes me happy :)

At a ball we ran a few months back we gave out vouchers worth £3 each at the bar. A friend ordered a drink that came to £9something and gave the guy one voucher and went to get some cash from his wallet. The guy at the bar took the voucher and went to the till saying it was enough. So as my friend starts to walk away thinking "score", the bartender calls him back and gives him 80p change! :eek:
 
Not that I'm overly bothered by some random person stealing a small amount of money from a supermarket but tbh.. I don't see this as being much different to having gone in there and just taken a bunch of things off the shelves then walking out. Its not like you didn't notice at the time and innocently walked off with the cash, you actually noticed it, kept the cash and then attempted to get more... OP - you are a bit of a ***** in my book.

He obviously did check his damn change otherwise he wouldnt have done it again. Would have to be a pretty damn thick CCTV analyst to let that slide..

"I remembered the chewing gum just as I was leaving so went back and got some".

Hardly easy to prove otherwise :p

I'm not defending him but it's hard to feel sorry for companies that replace 3 jobs with these PoS machines that rarely work as it is.
 
I had a pound that would go all the way through the vending machine and still register as a pound. I must have put that thing through over 20 times, sooooo many packets of polos.
Before you ask no it didn't give you the money if you pressed the return button.
 
I've gotten all sorts of kickbacks from machines over the years. Just a few weeks ago I got a free bottle of whisky from a tesco self service machine and a rather tired looking security guard. I say the op did ok, his first go was fair game, after that it's a bit murky.. I'm not judging.

Edit, a poll would indeed be interesting.
 
Theft, but not really enforceable in this case, they can't prove he received the wrong change and good luck finding out who someone is through a cctv picture.

See in that scenario I'd let the bar person know about it cos they'd be the ones getting stiffed when the till doesn't balance...

I have a lot less sympathy for a large coroporation however.
 
I'm susrprised at the number of people saying they think it's ok. On the upside, that clown claiming to have done MAJOR SCAMS raised a smile so the thread hasn't been totally saddening.
 
Doubt they will do much about it. Just pretend you like me and just take your change and shove it in your pocket and don't bother to count.
 
OP. You clearly have no morels.

Once I could perhaps understand, but to keep doing it and tell others. No.

You stole. Your a thief. Nothing to be proud off & you even told your partner to do the same.


Shame on you.
