Bought three things in poundland, tendered £3, but receipt was for 2 items, £3 tendered, £1 change (which went in till operator's pocket). How long till they catch him?

Depends on how often they check the cameras and if people like you complain.

Hes probably working there full time for his JSA!

LAst week someone gave me free chocolate from there - I think so I didnt complain about what was a fairly minor issue but it was the SA fault.. However, If I had complained, this person could have been sanctioned I presume so wanted to keep me sweet

roxiegriff

ive never had this happen to me before but i will check in the future


had you reported this?

lynzpower, to suggest that someone would be a thief solely because they are on JSA is terrible. You should be ashamed.

Well I would have thought something like that would show up on a report - nobody would hand over £3 for a £2 transaction would they? My wife paid for it, so I didn't entirely understand what was going on until afterwards, I had a go at her but she tends not to complain about corruption etc.

Got a PM from 'pland', so obviously someone cares

Unless they are watching every move the cashiers make (unlikely unless given good reason to) how would they find out? I doubt their security team as as high-tec as those in a £million/£billion supermarket chain.

Poundland is a £billion chain these days, IT investment goes along with growth

Did you see it go in his pocket? If not maybe he just made a mistake and pressed the wrong button

also you had a 'go' at your wife... sorry were you incapable of going back to the store if you so believed that he had cheated you and stolen!! you were there AND had the reciept and items and supposedly 'seen' him putting the money in his pocket!!!

so in theory you could have done something about it but choose not too!!!!
