I remember one time I was trying to scan a set of nice dinnerware for a lady. Since this was a supermarket, she had other shopping too. No barcode? Hmm. There weren’t any security tags either which it should have had. She wouldn’t have been able to remove it so looks like it was missed. Fairs, accidents happen and what not.
I asked her if she remembered what the price was. Quick as a wink she said £5. It most definitely was not but you know what? Fuck it.
I couldn’t be arsed to call anyone over and I had a whole herd of impatient customers waiting to be served behind her. So I just let her have it.
Out of curiosity, I went to have a look at the price during my lunch break. It was £52.80 exactly lol
Ive never once checked if people were telling the truth when they tell me somethings the wrong price. As long as the difference is under 10 dollars ill change it without question
Yea generally this was the stance I took as well. But we often had quite incredible sales on seasonal items so sometimes you could get an absolute steal on xyz. But whilst I had my suspicions, it wasn’t worth it to double check in that moment in time. Especially not since I was on minimum wage and it was a busy afternoon.
Don’t get me wrong though, I had my fair share of chancers and I happily called their bluff. But this lady was fairly pleasant and if you were even half decent to me, I was happy to go above and beyond. In this case, I did the opposite so as to ensure it worked out in her favour
