Yes I have Catherine and it wasn't til I got to the car that I realised that I had a school dress hanging at the front of my trolley and I hadn't paid for it. I went straight to customer services and paid. Couldn't deal with it. lol. |

I got a free bottle of wine from Tesco the other day. Thank you tesco. And last year a jacket from next worth £40. Sorry. Am I awful. It's just that we bought loads that day the guy was too busy chatting to his lovely assistant, never notice and said 'that will be £70 something, Oh handed his card over and we both looked at each other, and exited the shop sharpish. Hey I got a free jacket. catherine xx |

I ws in Tesco's doing my weekly shopping a few years ago, during a heatwave, and their computers crashed jsut as we were queing at the tills. They jsut asked us to guess how much the shopping was worth, (I said about £30) and they took the money and let us go. They lost about £1500 in the hour they were down.... Nice wine though :-) *Alright, I forgot about the wine buried under the bread and potatoes....* |

I am honest, but with the big boys I think there mistake. Maybe I have grown cynical over the years. I would hate to think it came out of someone's wages though. I would be horrified. I found a womans handbag at the bus stop and took that to the police, she had her credit cards in it etc. Mental note to go to confession asap. Forgive me father cos I have sinned. catherine xx |

When we got tiddler a bed guard me and eldest went to town to get it and I struggled back to the car with it thinking blimey these have got a lot heavier than the last time I got one. At home opened the box and they had given me a box of 3 not just one. Heres the confession bit I kept one, Gave one to mum and dad to use at theirs and took the other back and got a refund. |

I bought a chest of drawers from Argos for my daughter, flatpack... The top was chipped right in the middle so I went back and asked them to deliver another one and pick this one up. Next day the driver delivered the new one, but refused to take the other one as he had not been instructed to do so. We had that box standing in the hallway for a year before I dared do anything with it, then I made that one up too and covered the chip with a pretty doyley... Their loss, I was honest from the start and had made three phone calls to get them to pick it up... |

My friend did something similar, she had arodered a radio cassette player for her daughter, from the club book, and she was out when they delivered. They left it for all to see on the FRONT doorstep!! She told them it must have got pinched and got another one, so both her children got one. When they did something similar with me, I couldn't tell them it hadn't arrived and just quietly paid for it. *see I DO have a conscience, my other two posts make me look terrible lol* |
