This reminds me of an experience I had a boots self service last xmas. Went to buy a bottle of perfume for my gf, went to self service and inserted my boots card, removed card and scanned item, hit finish and pay and inserted my debit card, inserted pin then it asked me insert my boots card again, removed debit card and inserted my mums boots card instead. The system crashed and woman came over, she it asked if I had been given my receipt I said no but didn't want one so she said I could go. Checked my bank statement when I got home and woohoo £42 perfume for free!

I also take advantage of the scan and go system at my local sainsburys, walk round the shop with a scanner scanning everything, accidentally on purpose forget to scan a few choice items take scanner to self service and pay. The system is subject to random rescans but since they've changed it to self service they only scan 10 items at random, the self-service guy can never be bothered so scans only the items at the top of the trolley. Been doing this for nearly 3 years now. Sometimes I take my gf's kids with me so I can blame them if I get caught.

A new low. Something I didn't think I'd say about GD*

* well, this week anyway.

It did, a while back. As I recall, they arrested a bunch of people who abused it.

At least it's not full of thieves.

Current evidence suggests otherwise...

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

I have has this a few times at my local Asda (Wolstanton for those in & around stoke

) - if they can't be arsed to keep on top of such a crucial detail, thats their luck out as far as I'm concerned.

I see it as a customer loyalty reward.

Reminds of when a vending machine swallowed my money and I kicked it.
Some money fell out.
I kicked it again and more money fell out.
I kept doing this and it chucked out £15 in change.

You should have to repent and spend your years in jail

theft, you wouldn't like it if someone took money from your wallet!

Police would need cctv to place you at the scene and asda checkouts would have an accurate record of what had been given in change, you would get convicted
