The other day I went to ASDA in the town my college is in, and I bought a Cheese and Onion sandwich (1.00 pound) and a Chunky KitKat (45p) and she only charged me 90p.
She charged me for 2 KitKat's instead. I just walked out, hoping the buzzer wouldn't go off, and it didn't so yeah. :D.

Has this ever happened to you.

I remember I bought 2 hoodies from internationale in wakefield for 8 pound buy one get one free, but she tried charging me 16 pound, i corrected her.

Umm probably. The only one that still happens to me is I get charged two different prices for my bus ride home from work all the time. I still don't know which one's right and which ones wrong.

I have before but I'm very honest and stuff so I have asked to pay the genuine amount as I don't think it's right to just pay less than you're meant to.

Im really bad at noticing it, well if people short-change me. My friends always check but I never think to check so most likely its happened. I know that a direct debit was taken twice from my account once, that wasn't good lol.

I have been a few times. There was also an incident where I was in the drive-thru at McDonalds and I ordered a toffee sundae and the woman who served me gave me two by mistake. God knows how I didn't notice. I was like a mile away before I realised xD! It put me in such a good mood thought afterwards, I love the toffee sundaes :D!

A sure sign that the barman has been stealing and drinking bar stock.

Same. I feel bad if I don't own up to it, I just tell the sales assistant that they gave me a bit more change or charged me less than they ought to have done.

I don't really count my change because I'm stupid, but I remember when I was about 7 and my dad gave me a 5 pound note and I ran to the shop and I came out with change, that I would of got if I had a £20, I didn't realise until my dad was counting my change. Their fault I guess.

ooooh other week, me and my sister got on a bus. she said let me go first. she got a day pass, for two pound as she had a bus pass. i go next, ask for a day pass, give him four pound, he goes, oh, and says it doesnt matter and gives me two pound back. :).

I'm not quite sure what happen. But I was buying smokes and it said pin/key error. and then it said denied. And the chinese guy was just like. There you go.
I've never actually checked if I got charged

I was buying some gum from a corner store, which came out to like $1.19. I gave the guy a $10 but he typed it in as $100 on the register. Told him to give me like 90 something dollars back in change. He noticed before I could make my escape though. :(

He probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't start smiling like a fool... No one gets that happy when they buy gum apparently.

When you buy something for 99p, give them a pound and they take it without giving you the 1p.
pisses me off.

In school I was using the Water Machine and I the water is 60p but I put in 10p and was about to put more money in when 2 bottles came rolling out and I got 50p change back.

Yes a few times when staff don't know what special offers are on and the till doesn't work it out for them. Although this also means they also undercharged me a lot as well so I let it balance it out :D

I was in a shop in france and there was a special offer on. I bought it, looked at the receipt and thought they'd charged me full price but the discount was knocked off at the bottom of the receipt. my bad :(

30-11-2010, 12:07 PM
I just let them charge me for whatever as long as it's the price of the items or lower. Sometimes I don't give people half price for things at work when they're supposed to, people never notice it.

That's only with people who give me an attitude though :D

Inseriousity.

Just remembered a funny story.

It was raining and my dad was doing christmas shopping with my mum. He buys all these clothes and takes them to the counter. The guy on the till scans one thing and then my dad asks for an umbrella for my mum. The guy goes to check but they dont sell them. He then takes the tags off all the clothes but they only got charged for the one thing. lololol my dad decided not to correct them. we're thieves :P

The other day the paper shop near me charged me £1 for a coke and 20p for polos but I looked at the till thing and I corrected her as I'm not the type to go paying the wrong amount as its practically stealing. I've been short changed by our school bus driver, 10p i was gutted LOL

01-12-2010, 09:13 PM
Yeah i bought something before and it was £5 so I gave her a £10 note and i said can i have the change in pound coins so she gave me £10 in pound coins, so I got it for free.

It happens to me quite alot tbh ;D

Once I was buying a bottle of pepsi from a vending machine and i put like 1 pound in and pushed the button and it didn't work so i like pushed it loads of times and then pushed the change button, my 1pound came back out and so did 4 bottles of pepsi :L

Another time I was like in some shop and I bought like 3 pounds worth of sweets and paid with a fiver and she decided to give me 4 pounds back so i was a bit chuffed

oh abnd there is this shop ran by indians near me and they have a pic n mix but they dont have any scales so they expect you to count how much is in there and they are like 'how much is this worth;' so i like put £5 in and I'm like oh its 2 pounds and then they look through it and are like ok ;D first time i did it was an honest mistake because I thought that was how much I had in, but if they're going to be so stupid they have to face the consequences! ;L

Walked into a garage to buy a tube of oil which costs 95 cent, handed over a ten euro note and waled out with 19.05 euro =) Same garage a few months ago, I had just finished work and it ws about 6am, my friend was kipping at mine and we fancied some milkshakes, go into the garage, ask for petrol, 2 milkshakes and a tube of oil, hand over a ten euro note again, get change for a twnty, I just turned and walked away both times.

One time I was overcharged, a few years back I walked into Sainsburys whilst I was back in England visiting mates to buy an easter egg, gave her a twenty pound note, took my change and walked out, wasn't until we was on the bus I realised she gave me change for a tenner, *****.

Usually corner shops try to scam me, like try to add an extra 10p on the price. I usually just leave what I was going to buy on the desk and walk out.

yh when I was little they always used to rip me off at the corner shop because I was a kid :( My mum went in once and had a go at the shop keeper...
