I once stopped in Sainsburys for a coffee after shopping, grabbed my trolley and headed out to the car park. As I put it in the car, I realised I had the wrong trolley. This one was filled with real gourmet food, must have been worth ten times the price of mine. Yes, I did take it back, luckily the person was still having her lunch and never noticed. |

Yes I have... A few years ago I went shopping, went into one shop, picked up a packet of small screws, browsed round for a while and then went to Woollies. Got some things and went to pay for them,... the girl said that I could not pay for a certain item at their shop cos it wasn't from there... I was mortified... had walked out of the other shop with the packet of screws in my hand... I went straight back and paid for them ...luckily they saw the funny side.. Anne :))) |

I was undercharged in a shop some time back,so I went back to the counter to tell the girl,but as soon as I said ''I think you made a mistake'' the girl snapped ''You should have said before leaving the counter,mistakes can't be rectified afterwards'' So I smiled sweetly and said '' Fine,I was just going to tell you that you didn't charge enough''. With that I turned and walked out. |
