    Ok, so was in Topaz this morning, got a big cup of coffee (€2.40) but told the young, hot assistant it was tea, and was charged €1.70!

    Wether I did it purposely or not is irrelevant, honest opinions?

    Am I now a low life robbing bashterd?

    What have you accidentally 'acquired'?

    I get a black coffee in college all the time and add the milk from the milk machine. I tell the cashier its a black coffee and save 20c...I don't call it stealing - I call it common sense

    Next time you go in, buy a Tea, tell them its a Coffee, and you might not go to prison for 10 years...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    When they ask me in the shop,"Tea or coffee?" I always say "Whats cheaper?" with a mischievous grin.

    Mmmmm

    Or..........


    Fill tea, tell assistant its coffee, return 5 mins later with receipt, ask to see manager, complain about rip off!

    Free coffee for life?

    Personally I think you're a disgrace to the human race and should hand yourself into the Gardaí asap :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,112 ✭✭✭flyton5


    Next time just drink the coffee in the shop. €2.30 for coffee is outrageous...and by outrageous I mean reasonably priced. Topaz do nice hazelnut coffee...just so you know...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,397 ✭✭✭✭FreudianSlippers


    I went into a shop last week and thought I gave a €20 and obviously the shopkeep did too and he gave me €16 back.

    A bit later I went to collect my dry cleaning and pulled out the €20 I thought I spent and 2 €10s. I would have gone back if I had noticed.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 519 ✭✭✭AnneElizabeth


    Yes you did steal, regardless of how small it was. :P

    I don't get why people do things like that though, Like if you're gonna steal something, make it something worthwhile :pac:

    Is it stealing if it was an accident? I have tourettes you know!
    Instead of shouting w@nk, fúck, etc, I always shout coffee!
    Sometimes I follow that up, by shouting "like the black dudes name from green mile, cept spelt differently"

    Ya think 70cent is nothing but it all adds up I'm afraid.

    If 100 billion people were honest and paid for coffee not tea, it would be enough to save our national debt.

    Well, as theres only 6 billion people on this earth (approx), I feel a lot better!
    Could be waiting a while on the other 94 billion to show with their 70c each!

    Coincidently the Earth's population probably will be 100 billion by the time we pay off our debt. :p

    I did steal today, was in a pet shop with the missus and picked up a few things, one of them was a A5 sized box with a dog harness in it, we went to the till put all the things down but i kept the box in my hand. It must have been in plain sight of the check out girl, but i didn't leave it on the counter, so she didn't take for it.
    Only realised when we got home, i dont feel bad about it, yes it was stealing, but.....meh.

    Obviously the only way to balance out this injustice is to bleed yourself of 10pints of blood.
    Only then can you be at peace.

    Actually, that is how you determine if you did steal it or not.

    This story stole my heart you lovable oul scamp! You did it accidentally so screw it plus that 70 cents is the equivelant of probably 70 people filling up their cars and not paying the cent or so extra they go over. Don't worry about it guy..

    yeah you stole. but dont worry stealing is cool!

    either that or you just paid a reasonable price for a cofee. which is lame and dull


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Adam


    the garage across the road from me has a tim hortons coffee machine that also does hot milk for hot chocolate, the sachets are there and you have to take one, put it in a cup and then add the milk...

    every time i'm there i consider just filling the cup with multiple sachets, should be able to get 15-20 in there i figure.....(insert step two).......rolling in profit! thoughts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,022 ✭✭✭johnny_knoxvile


    you should go to your local priest and tell him what you did...you will never steal again...or sit down for a week.

    A Canadian hockey player, killed in a car crash whilst driving a De Tomaso Pantera. Terrible sad.

    He had just set up the company before he was killed. Canadians are shocking protective of Tim Horton's coffee and donuts. they love the stuff, like Fraggles love minature see-through bridges.

    A chipped tooth, a bad back, lots of paint splashes, pain in my right hip joint, a scar on my left index finger. I can't think of anything else right now.

    Mmmm, 15c tea...


    sometimes our canteen undercharges but sometimes they overcharge so I reckon it all balances out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,734 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    No. You didn't steal today.

    You stole yesterday and you're going to BURN IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY!
