They won't tell you, it's none of your business what has happened to him.

That's Asda for you. I would say that's at least attempted theft by the check out person and report it to the police, saying you want it investigated. It sounds to me like he deliberately didn't give you the money and tried to cover it up by appearing to sign your receipt, i.e. for the cameras, so he could later retrieve your money for himself.

Once the police are involved, I would think you would get quite a different reaction from Asda. How about, if the guy is still working there, taking a cell phone picture of him and tell him it's for a police report about his attempted theft, and then passing the picture onto the police?

Get real. The police have better things to do than investigate a missing £10 that the OP got back. I don't know what planet ypu live on if you thing this is worth wasting police time on.

I would definitely report it to the police. It's not "just" a missing £10. It's more likely that if this is attempted theft, then he has done it to other customers as well. The more evidence the police get against him, the better.

I used to work at ASDA and one of the cashiers did something similar. He scammed over 50 customers, and only 3 complained to the police so he was only charged with 3 counts.

Not actually any help but I have heard about this happening quite a lot. Admittedly via facebook but it could still be true!

If you think someone stole from you then why didn't you call the police and let them deal with it?

However if he did steal it, then it's ASDA who have suffered the loss to police will only be interested in hearing from them. Which they probably won't bother unless it's been ongoing.

Not so.

Initially it was stolen from the OP. The fact that ASDA has made good the loss doesn't change the fact that the crime was against the OP.

So, she is entitled to report the crime to the police. Whether that is a good use of her time and their resources is a matter of opinion.

Others are correct when the point out that the OP has no right to any information about ASDA deal with the member of staff.

If the manager was rude then the OP can make a complaint about them. They might get a letter of apology but what does that achieve?

Should the police arrest and prosecute the till operator then that is a matter of public record.

Having said all that my advice would be to move on. If you really can't let it go try the local paper!

I've seen it to. New scam doing the rounds.

Always check the amount before you put in your pin.

When I worked at M&S a girl was caught red handed with cash from the till.
She had been watched because suspicion of theft had been alerted after a member of staff had observed this happening over a long period but was afraid to confront her.

Once caught in camera she was sacked. The matter was not reported to police.

After a stint at Asda without a blemish to her name she now visits the elderly, sick & vulnerable as a District Nurse !! ... And will no doubt get away with theft for many years to come.

Theft is not OK.

Maybe so.

Had it been reported to the police it would have subsequently shown up on her criminal record check for working with vulnerable adults. She would almost certainly not have got the job, or if she did the employer could have put stringent checks in place. Whereas now it's just down to a vague hope that she's changed her ways.
