    Spot the vacuous loud mouth with nothing to say!

    The OP and more recently others, are expressing displeasure, for one reason or another, with Cooperative Stores. I'm adding my bit about the Co-Op and its milk supply.

    If you can't cope with thread drift, sweetheart, you should sod off and start your own forum!

    The Co-Op's current TV advertising campaign? I am sick of the sight of Katie Price!

    In March, the CoOp raised two fingers to milk producer, Dairy Crest which previously supplied 25% of the chain's own-branded milk.

    Every single litre of CoOp-branded milk is now sourced from Wiseman Dairies.

    This is dreadful news for Dairy Crest, which has just announced huge job cuts.

    And it also terrible news for the consumer. The loss of competition in milk production will soon be felt through higher prices.

    CoOp milk is already some of the most expensive on the High Street. Expect the price to go even higher.

    The Co-Operative is definitely not "good for everyone".

    At the end of the day it is a business and must do the best for the business.

    So Iamtheking, are you saying that if I hand a suspected fake note to a shop assistant he/she can keep it and then ask for real money as payment? I totally accept that that is the way it should work, and as you say, you cannot give the fake back to the customer.

    However, if the shop assistant hands out a fake note in change to a customer, you appear to be saying that if the fake is spotted the shop will exchange it for another.
    Perhaps what should happen here is that the customer keeps the fake, to take to the police of course, and asks the shop for a real note.
    Is that what you meant to say?


    I love this idea, and think you are fully within your right to do so!!! Good thinking

    True. To be honest unless the note was bright purple i wouldn't really look. Funny that when we hand notes over they always check, but as a customer i never check the notes i recieve. Funny really.

    How do you think fake money gets in to circulation ? in the change given by people who work on tills.
