UN B F**KING LEAVABLE

chem

I was in a well known German chain of shops yesterday. Got my bits and pieces and was standing at the checkout. Infront of me were a Polish couple. They were putting there items on the moving counter thing, and chatting in polish to the bloke doing the till. I noticed they left about 5 items in the trolly, as they spun it around to awaite the shopping to be scanned.

The bloke doing the till seen the items in trolly and just kept chatting away to them! OK said me say notting. But then came the real rub. As the bloke started scanning the shopping, he just moved most of the shopping over the scanner with out bleeping it:eek:

This is in full view of about 5 other customers:mad:

So I said notting until I got to the check out and the polish lad started scanning my shopping. As he scanned my stuff EVER item went BLEEP. So I said to him.........Am I not getting anything Free???

Well to say he went red was an under statement:pac: I say he felt sick and good enough for him:D

The way he done it was as if it was the norm chatting away not scanning items with his polish friends. Do Polish get a five fingure discount in every store? In this credit crunch why do we all not have 50% free food?

I told this story to afew people and they said the have noticed the same happening several times, even in different shops of the same chain. Anyone else ever notice this happening?

Oh great.

Another foreigner/polish/traveller/roma-gypsie (delete as applicable) bashing thread.

So Irish people don't do this too? Bollox. Everyone does it.

MagicMarker

Hmmm, i see.

So, before you started to bitch here (thanks for that, by the way), did you tell the manager?

c - 13

So your telling me that neither you nor any of your friends have given each other some stuff for free or on the cheap while you/they worked someplace ?

Nah it must be becasue their polish. No Irish person would ever do anything like that.

Long story short they got free items you didnt, you're angry - "bastard polish no give me free things thread" - Post

Sabre0001

Seen stuff at the self scanner where people may hold two items and scan one - one goes on scale, other goes straight in bag on arm...OR, and I like this trick , pretend to scan at the same time as another till beeps.

I've worked with tonnes of Polish people. They generally don't like helping each other out.
I think it is goes back to communism.

stovelid

People are using ingenuity to beat the recession. None of your business. Move along.

Del2005

It's not just the Poles doing it. Everyone gives their friends five finger discounts if they can.

Why else would stores invest so heavily in CCTV on every till? Most theft is done by staff or their friends.

ParkRunner

It's a dangerous thing to do though, one of the lads I used to work with tried to give his friend a playstation for free. The manager caught him and he was sacked after working there for about 4 years. No reference there anyway, but he does have another job now.

i used to do it :P

CHD

They took our jurbs

They probably needed extra stuff to eat with the swans they killed by the canal.
Did they carry all their loot home in a free pram?

I'm sorry but your a knacker if you do this kind of thing.

OP - your thread would be much more effective if you had avoided stating the nationalities involved. It is irrelevant where they came from or the origins of the shop's owner. Why not simply say that you witnessed possible theft by customers and assisted by an employee?

At the moment, it just seems like an anti-Polish thread.

Theft is awesome. Most people on this thread seems to condone it so why not.

FlutterinBantam

Until their own possessions are stolen.....

I'd sack the ass off any geezer who tried to pull a stunt like that.

Caoimhín

You should report that to the manager, theft is theft regardless of the nationality of those involved.

The next thing is the bleeding heart liberals will claim that its part of their culture and we should respect it.

Tut tut tut. And you're an accessory to the crime. *sad face*

Seen it myself a few times and yes, said it to the manager.

Just out of interest, how could you tell they were polish?
Did you overhear them speaking polish?, recognize a flag printed on the back of their coats?

Or just decide to assume they were polish because they were breaking the law and that fits in nicely with how you choose to see all polish people?

As far as the theft goes; you should have reported it to the shop manager.

Amazing fact, people who use the phrase "bleeding heart liberals" are the most liberal, bleeding hearty-ist people ever, they just try really hard to hide it.

Kinda like repressed homosexuals claiming to hate 'the gays'.

When was the last time you saw a knacker working the tills? They prefer to come back when the store has closed...

super_furry

Man, I was so set when I was a teenager. Had one mate working in Eddie Rockets, one in McDonalds and one in UCI, I paid for nothing and it was ace.

Ishmael

I used to do something similar to this the whole time when one of my friends worked in the cinema. Free tickets, free popcorn and really cheap sweets. I don't see anything that bad about it unless he is really taking the piss in which case he probably won't have a job there long.

The bashing will stop when the foreigner/polish/traveller/roma-gypsie (delete as applicable) GTFO! :pac:

Then you're happy, the people complaining are happy, and I'm just a happy camper.

seclachi

I have heard stories about those certain german stores using detectives who try and sneak stuff through the checkout and if the checkout person lets it happen they get a serious dressing down. That being said, I guess it doesnt really stop them in cases like this. Still though, I dont get it, why risk your job doing it, even if its your best buds.

Biggins

I's like to add that although such acts might slip by a few times, now that most tills are covered by cameras, they (the staff) will more than likely get too confident, slip up and become spotted at some stage.
No con lasts for ever...

A good manager (if he/she is worth their salt) will review tapes/recordings once in a while.
(I see the previous mentioned con done many times in Dunnes and I have no hesitation in reporting it.)

christ OP, not exactly the reaction you were looking for!!?
Ah well, im off to buy some crack now from my black drug dealer (or is it more politically correct to just say 'drug dealer'?)
Have fun.;)

ejmaztec

If so many people have witnessed this guy's antics, he won't be there for much longer. Someone's bound to drop him in it, especially if they don't get a free trolley of groceries out of him.

Sully

Did you get any free stuff in the end?

Quality - yet another anti-polish, anti-immigrant thread. Free food first, just wait for those free BMW's and that 3 bed semi, they'll be next you know.

Its not Polish bashing . If they were Irish would it be Irish bashing?

Maybe he did hear them speaking Polish? In the same way I can hear German, French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish I can usually deduce whether a group of people are speaking Polish or not (greet or leave each other by saying Czezsc. Saying kurva multiple times). And maybe they looked more Polish physically than Lithuanians or Slovaks, two other large groups here who have minor physical differences generally.

Some peoiple on boards seem to have a tremendous jealousy and chip in the shoulder against people who know a little bit more about the world than they do. Give it a ****ing rest and get an education.

You took the time to thank four posts as well.

Is there an equivalent of wigger to do with Poles? Y'know, wishing you were Polish or something? Jesus H Christ, jumping down the throat of anything vaguely negative relating to Poland is getting embarrasing. If there was someone on an English message board getting all bitchy because other posters suggested alot of Irish drink to excess, support the ra and alot of them are skangers I would be embarrased for them frankly.

Oh great now im a nazi:rolleyes: Just because they were polish its not PC to say they were polish. Some people LOOK for race issues when they are not there.

White kid gets hit by black kid in playground= fight.

Black kid hit by white kid= hate crime

Grow up PC hippies:p

If im so anti polish id have reported it to the manager in my SS uniform:pac:

Point is id hate to see anyone lose there job because of me. I Think me saying something to him was enough of a warning. If I seen him do it again Id report it.

I know he was polish because I work with one of his (also Polish) friends. If you want to see this post as race related Id say you have more of an issue then me!

The amount of silent laughing/piss taking Poles would do if they actually read some of the clownery posted here. Embarrasing.

Reread the post. He states several times they were speaking Polish.

It's pretty deplorable how acceptable most people find this behavior though. Theft somehow is magically not stealing if it's off a company for some reason. It's the same attitude that gives us people who happily buy stolen goods as well.

Out of curiousity if the OP had stated he saw a skanger couple having sh1t not scanned by a hoopy earring wearing howiya behind the counter would there have been an outpouring of PC backlash for stigmatising working class Dubliners?

Or would some cabbage have asked how the OP knew they were Irish skangers?


I dont expect a response on this tbh.

While I dont mean to get as emotional and bitchy as these little kids here I find the war reference upsetting. My grandfather died in a concentration camp.

He was just coming off duty when he slipped and fell off his guard tower. :eek: :pac:
