Wrongly charged in Sainsburys Pontypridd!! Anyone else had the same trouble ?

You can just call me Mary. I could suggest an array of treatments to help this individual with his/her anxiety or stress problem, but it is against my code of ethics, sorry.

I like you too welshjennywren.

As for my spelling, my keyboard sticks a little, on my salary I am making do on an old old pc.

My phone is with the Post Office ( they let me put away a bit each week to help with my quarterly bill, and with a teenage son you soon notice your bill creeping up each week) and landlines are free all day everyday, I pay about 4.50 for this service but saves me a bundle.

They really have done a nice job with the new sainsburys store, shame about the overcharging but I have had it in every supermarket I have ever been in.

Grumpy old/young fart if you ask me :-)

Apart from anything else, how, exactly, do you expect someone doing the weekly shop for a family with four children to remember the indicated price for every one of their purchases?

I pretty much do....but then I am obsessed with numbers :rotfl:

I also keep a running total in my head as to how much my shopping should approx total up to by the end, in fact, me and the boys have a competition to see who can get closest and we are never more than 30p out. For us, it started out as a way to keep youngest calm and distracted whilst going around the supermarket as he found the supermarket surroundings incredibly hard to cope with but it has now become the 'fun' element of shopping.

I got overcharged today, instead of it going through as 2 items for £5, they went through for their individual cost but because I check my receipt even before I reach the customer service desk, it was easily sorted and no stress.

Edit - The incorrect pricing at the till was done in Morrisons, I haven't been in a Sainsburys for years......

Maybe you could suggest what I can personally do to stop this over-charging/mispricing throughout these supermarkets?

OK, Chrissie, I guess you have no suggestions to stop this then.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even express it, but you have done enough of this already Pollycat. And that is my opinion.

And you are entitled to air that opinion, just as I am entitled to air mine.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it Pollycat and other. Although smoking is bad for you.

Ah bless! What a quaint expression!
I know it is bad for me (obviously), that why I don't do it. :cool:

Name dropping, unlike some* I conduct myself with courtesy, I believe myself to be of good moral character, am generous, principled and considerate.
I do try not to be unkind or unpleasant.

When I telephone someone I usually ask their names politelly, they always ask mine !!! The three people I named were the three people I dealt with concerning this matter.

On first name terms with the staff !!!! What are you talking about ?

I think it's incredibly rude to put someone's name out on a public forum when they are totally unaware of it, regardless of whether you are making complimentary comments or not - and you are most certainly not being complimentary in the case of the 2 Customer Services people you spoke to on the phone.
Their names appear in at least 2 of your posts and I'm sure that they could be easily identified by anyone who shops in Sainsbury's Pontypridd.

If you can't see what is wrong with that (and despite a number of people mentioning it to you, you don't seem to be able to see what is wrong), I guess it says a lot about you, WelshJennyWren.

And it doesn't say (at least to me) that you really are courteous, generous, principled and considerate.

You may try not to be unkind or unpleasant - but (IMHO) you have been unkind and unpleasant to these 2 people (I'm not saying they treated you with the courtesy and consideration you (or any customer) deserved) on an open forum when they have no form of defence or redress.

I can't see MSE being very happy if they were contacted by the 2 people concerned to complain that their names were being bandied about by a disgruntled customer on a forum that is viewable by millions of people.

When I am wrong, I apologise and I am congruant !!!!

Congruant? Congruant?

Do you mean 'congruent'? :rotfl:

What a strange word to use (mispelled too) in the context of your sentence.

I find it a little strange how you are banding around terms like anxiety and stress when you have never even met me or from the comment above even know my gender or age!. Are you a qualified mental health nurse or a practitioner who is able to suggest treatments?

Seen as this is an open forum and viewed by millions i wonder what your hospital would think about you banding around terms like this. Hope you dont call your patients grumpy old farts! Not that i am one of course.

Thats even if you are a nurse

Chrissie1958

My last post was a joke in reply to welshjennywrens post.
I have no idea who you are, and I am not going to explain myself to you. I am an A&E nurse not a mental health nurse, which by the sounds of you, you might need.
None of my patients sound anything like you, even when they are in great pain, they are nowhere near as rude as you wrightk.

If you ask me you are getting off lightly with grumpy fart !

I will not be posting on this thread again because I do not like your attitude towards me, this is a forum for people to chat and exchange helpful tips, and people like you make it an unpleasant experience, and I have dealt with a lot of unpleasant things in my job, believe me I don't need you to add to them.

glad to hear it. and can i just remind you that im not the one that has at anypoint accused anyone of mental health problems. disagreement is par for the course on these forums but you were the one who decided to turn it into a name calling exercise. if you do not like people disagreeing with your opinion you shouldn't be on these forums. the rest of us have conducted ourselves properly
