Yes and that about sums you up. You've managed to edit the word doubt out of that post where the poster doesn't definately know. You've also edited out the fact they suspect another item triggered a prompt. Marleyboy cashiers are expected to work quickly. When have you ever had someone serve you pick up every single item and read the title before putting it back down again?

:rotfl::rotfl:

I haven't edited any words out of anything I've quoted, the word doubt was referring to fact the the till asked for ID, not the fact that Cook In Sauces have never had a prompt. And there is no mention of any other item being involved, in that particular post.

Please read what I have actually quoted before accusing me of editing posts.

Pretty much EVERYTIME I have gone shopping, just when I think I have heard it all, you come up with an even more hilarious reason.

I have even had an item I purchased with an incorrect weight label on the price, very quickly did the cashier notice the discrepancy, even though it was for the very same item "a leg of lamb", That wasn't genius of her, it is known as awareness, something they train ALL people on cash registers to pay attention to.

When I was in my student years, I worked part time on the cashiers till, constantly scanning each of the items for sale, I have to say had I mis-priced or misread ANY, especially something as big as confusing a bottle of Whisky for a jar of cooking sauce, even I would expect to be dismissed for it. However fast I worked, I always knew what I had in my hand, without having to read the label first (again it boils down to common sense).

However if a tiller is working SO FAST, they cannot determine what is going through the checkout, a till pinging "ID CHECK" should be just a tiny little bit of enough for a tiller to pause and double check (as they do when asking for ID), in effect "stopping them in their tracks".

However, if they are whizzing items through so fast they cannot distinguish such a huge difference between a bottle of Whiskey and a jar of cooking sauce, not only would I be worried about the condition of my shopping once its been so rapidly "thrown" from one end to the other, I would also be questioning just how easy it is to get alcohol WITHOUT any need for ID, by simply sticking a "peanut butter" price tag on the bottle.

I have to say, this is one of the daftest notions you have come up with yet, I sincerely hope you don't work as a cashier, as if I tried laying that excuse to the manager when I was doing the tills, he\she would have me out faster than I could scan any item. and rightly so.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Are you joking this sounds like you!

I know you make every effort to disagree with me but you're really are scraping the barrel this time! How long does it take you to get served when you have an entire trolly whilst they read every single products title? 30 minutes, an hour????? Do you sit down on a chair whilst they do it? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yes I know they'll have an awareness of the product eg it's some sort of ready meal, yes I know it's easy to pick up when somethings priced wrong etc but they're not going to stop and read every title!

:rotfl::rotfl:(your a real glutton for punishment aren't you, at least TRY)

Aside from the queuing, which is dependent on how busy it is, what day it is AND how many tills are on at the time, roughly 5-10 minutes dependent on how much i have in my trolley.

Nope I am not joking and I hardly need to make an effort in disagreeing with you, I happen to think your seriously misguided, I would seriously dread to go shopping where you go (unless buying alcohol), they sound like a right bunch of charlatans,

Completely inept at ensuring each product is safely scanned and placed ready for packing, absolutely no idea on what items have been purchased, no concept of shapes and sizes of items, to the degree they cannot tell the difference between a bottle and a jar, or a box and a packet, not even sure if the items scanned are representing the item being sold, completely unaware of whether they are overcharging or undercharging each customer and not even enough time to smile or say "have a nice day".

The only temptation would be to buy my alcohol there, being sure to blatantly swap the labels from coffee jars or cat food, ensuring the till wont ping for "ID", as it seems so easy to do there, especially if they never check the items they scan.

Im not disagreeing with you for the sake of it, I am disagreeing with you because quite obviously I think "YOU'RE WRONG".

I dont know where you get this 30 minutes at checkout from (unless your including the queue, lack of tillers and dawdling customers which may add up to 30 minutes in total) as for scraping the barrel with it, (in what way?),

I have merely skimmed the surface here, I don't need to make any desperate attempts to justify such an obvious mistake with some thinly veiled "they scan so fast they dont know what they sell" or "maybe because they thought it was not boiled" excuses.

Especially when you take into account the obvious fact that in this case, the till did ping "ID CHECK", causing the tiller to have to pause in this "blurry product scan" epic you describe so desperately.

To me, this is more "scraping beneath the barrel", and STILL looking even more daft and desperate to justify it. But do keep it up, its highly entertaining.

So UK2010 have you come up with an explanation for the lies you told earlier?
Where you accused me of making up crap you had spouted?

Yeah, can you quote my alleged lie for me, I've no idea what it is!

Just to give you a clue opinions aren't lies! I can see a you and a few other trying to quote things you disagree with saying it's a lie because you don't like that point of view. I hope it's not going to be the "alcohol" rather "than "alcohol you consume" "lie". I'll be very dissapointed if you try to pass that off as a lie!

It seems he is coming up with ANYTHING to come up with an explanation, however bizarre.

Who does he remind me of................

Oh, while you're here UK, you haven't responded to my post above where you falesly accused me of editing a post, an apology wouldn't go amiss.
