    Imagine you do a Tesco shop that came to £20.25. You pay with a £20 note and a £1 coin. The SA mistakenly hands you back the same £20 note and 75p in change.

    Would you tell them they had made a mistake ?

    Would you throw the £20 note in the bin on the way out, as some suggest ?

    Or would you quickly put the £20 note in your pocket, graciously thank the stupid SA and leave with a big grin on your face ?

    Just a little thought for all those that are so against reprinting vouchers.

    I would tell the SA as his/her till would be down. Even if it was the trout I experienced last night (the cow).

    :mad: graciously thank the stupid SA and leave with a big grin on your face ? ..... Knowing that he will be in trouble when his till is £20 short and he may lose his job?
    :) If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours, :)

    :) It wont cost you anything! :)

    Ridiculous analogy
    I wouldn't go home and print some fake £20 notes then go in the next day to the same dozy SA this time with 20 of the FAKE notes hoping
    the SA would do it again

    Yes yes yes, I would tell them they had made a mistake.

    Their till would be out at the end of their shift. The best scenario is that they have made an error...or they could be thought of as a thief. Either way, they stand to lose their job.

    If I found a £20 note on the street I would probably keep it, unless I had seen the person who dropped it....as there's not much else I could do with it. I may give some or all to a charity though, but either way, I then wouldn't go back & photocopy it.

    I really don't understand how people can even think about justifying re-printing vouchers. It states clearly on the voucher it is to be used once only. Anything else is just theft.
