Say you were in a supermarket and the person on the checkout forgot to scan in an item say a DVD would you tell them, or hope they didn't notice and do a legger

monkeyfudge · 03-07-2006 08:57PM

I'd tell them of course... although I rarely pay attention to what they are doing... I'm too busy trying to get the plastic bags open.

Mr. Presentable · 03-07-2006 08:58PM

I'd tell them. I'm not a thief!

Ruu_Old · 03-07-2006 08:58PM

Most shops that stock the likes of DVDs have the detectors by the door so you would be caught anyway.

I would tell them anyway, at least you would avoid the damn detectors going off.

Amazotheamazing · 03-07-2006 08:59PM

I'd tell em.

ThrownAway · 03-07-2006 08:59PM

This one time I bought an apple and a bottle of water. I had the apple in my hand and then I realized that the shopkeeper didn't see it she just charged me for the water. There was a big queue behind me so I just walked away...

:eek: :eek:

Leg it, nothing like free stuff.

Agent Smith · 03-07-2006 09:07PM

if you know, and you dont say anything, its shoplifting....

( works at a till)

Cutie18Ireland · 03-07-2006 09:10PM

i was buying clothes one day and the cashier detagged them and forgot to scan one and i didnt say anything... didnt really notice at the time think it was a fiver... different if its a small cornershop or something...

Rhyme · 03-07-2006 09:11PM

Im rarely fully aware in queues... like a good section of my brain clicks off. Im rarely conscious of whats going into my bag, never mind if its free or not...

That said, if i did snap back into reality and noticed an item that hadnt been scanned, id mention it without question.

ThrownAway · 03-07-2006 09:14PM

I know this might sound silly but I think the feeling you get when you point out their mistake is far better than actually taking what ever it may be.

RobertFoster · 03-07-2006 09:15PM

I probably wouldn't notice. I don't check my change either.

Not silly at all...I much prefer the pride in my honesty when alerting the staff member to their error than the nervous glances I would be making over my shoulder waiting any minute for alarms to go off or a security guard to grab me if I didn't say anything....

Pighead · 03-07-2006 09:19PM

Obviously I'd tell them. Pigheads no thief.
However, If I were on an aeroplane and a girl was walking down the aisle back from the toilet, and the back of her dress was tucked into the top of her knickers I'm afraid to say I wouldn't tell her. Absolutely not.

It all depends on what the thing is. One day i was buying some stuff in argos and an item i hadn't purchased was put with my stuff. Yer one signed everything off the receipt and just left me to take away the goods. Best feeling ever, like an unspoken thank you for being such a loyal customer, Mind you, i didn't go in there again for a quite a while, you know, til all the sheeat blew over

emeraldstar · 03-07-2006 09:56PM

it happened me with nail varnish last week. Rimmel 60 Seconds Silver Bullet. It's nice

the Shades · 03-07-2006 10:16PM

I'd probably tell them before I even thought about it tbh

eamoss · 03-07-2006 10:19PM

Sorry I wud have 2 say I wud leg it. A few years ago I got a top walked out the shop then I got home and I realised that the tag was still on but for some od reason the alarm didnt go off when I went back into the shop with the tip the alarm went off but I had already explained to the person behind the till what had happened & went and got the top.

jazoo · 03-07-2006 11:24PM

I was in blanchardstown a couple of years ago looking at c.ds in virgin , I left the shop went to another shop looked in me bag and there was a Madonna c.d in the bag , I panicked because the alarm never went off in virgin , but I thought they might have seen me, so I went back with it .SO EMBARRISING Madonna I ****ing hate Madonna , if it had of been somebody else I would have done a legger.

Tar.Aldarion · 03-07-2006 11:29PM

I tell people when they forget to scan something.

Madge · 03-07-2006 11:33PM

No I wouldn't tell them, If they didn't notice the item and didn't scan it in than they're not doing their job properly, its not my problem

bluto63 · 04-07-2006 12:53AM

Don't most places keep the actual DVD behind the counter and have to put it in the box as you purchase it?

But if that is not the case i suppose i'd tell em. :cool:

slipss · 04-07-2006 01:19AM

Nah theres no way I'd tell them. Its a victimless crime. The only victim is the shop.

fuzzywiggle · 04-07-2006 08:39AM

Leg it.

petes · 04-07-2006 08:59AM

If I noticed I'd tell them. Its a rare occassion that I notice though.

04-07-2006 09:58AM

Tell them! Not a thief. I do pay very close attention to the scanner, because sometimes you fail to get a sale, and have to remind them.

r3nu4l · 04-07-2006 11:13AM

Tell them of course. It's called honesty.

...and we all know that honesty is the best policy...

Had to be said:D

Miss Fluff · 04-07-2006 11:15AM

Leg it every time

Naked Lepper · 04-07-2006 11:30AM

id pretend i didnt notice it and do a legger, probably.

Ballerina · 04-07-2006 12:52PM

haha the other day i was in a coffee shop with my friend and it was one of those places where you get the reciept and have to go up to the pay desk thingy and pay for your meal confused but as we were on our way up to it we saw some friends and went over to talk to them.then we just walked out!-we had completely forgotten to pay!!but the thing is we didnt realise until later that evening.we were still in the area so could have gone back but why would we??we werent hurting anyone by not paying!anyway,tbh its the shops fault for having that stupid way of paying!i would say loads of people dont pay in that place!!!
