If I had overheard that, I wouldnt have left the shop til I got my R&R!

Was it a member of staff you overheard?

It was the CS person talking to another CS person.

I wanted to stay but had the baby with me who was already way past food time and was doing her best at telling me so hence she had to come first.

Went in my local Tescos today to buy some nice things for tea, there was quite a comotion going on near the customer services desk. Security had a man pinned to the ground who was showuting and swearing. the police then arived and took him into custady.

I could not ressist asking what had happened, the Tesco staff would not say anything. A lady who had been in the customer service cue said the man had tried to claim an R&R for a stereo, the staff had been suspicus so they had called a manager, after about 20 minutes the lady said that the man who was arrested had been seen (on a video tape ?) putting an out of date label on the shelf edge, he had then tried to use this price label to claim he had been ovvercharged and calaim an R&R !

If this is the sort of thing you R&Rers get upto, no wonder Tesco are getting shi@@y with ordinery customers just trying to get a refund of the diferrence when they have been overcharged.

Why don't I believe a word of this post ?

I love the spelling !

If thats what happened then he got what was coming to him.

But dont say "If this is the sort of thing you R&Rers get upto" thinking we would all try something like that. I know I certainly wouldnt and I'm sure the vast majority of people on here wouldnt either.

What we are doing as "R&Rers" is perfectly legal and its Tescos problem if they cant get their prices right.

What this guy did (if he did) was definately fraud and illegal, if he tried something like that he must have known the risks he was taking and I for one am glad he got caught.

It does worry me though that it will make staff a lot more suspicious over R&Rs when something like that has happened.

Nothing to say in response, except very appropriate username.

How strange that you should be the one to see this. And how strange that the woman you spoke to in the queue (not a member of Tesco staff, of course, since they would be too honourable to discuss another customer with you) waited around long enough to see the entire affair, easily over half an hour. She was also lucky enough to have overheard all the details. How pleasantly fortuitous for you both.

Do I believe this tale? Probably not.
