The wife of a friend of mine had a related trick. Just before the items in a section were due to be marked down, they would take some choice items, and continue shopping. After the prices were marked down, and the scrum had taken the best pickings, they would return to that section, and say to the assistant, "Oh look, you've dropped the price, but just a minute ago I picked these up at full price. I'm so unlucky". Every so often, the assistant would take pity on her, and put on some cheap stickers.0

Having struggled through the initial post, I think a two year ban on the grounds of 'crimes against punctuation' alone is perfectly reasonable.No free lunch, and no free laptop

You need to get a life mate.You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

My wife's friend needs to get a life.
He was no better ; he used to work stacking shelves, and would drop cans / trifles then take them to the area for damaged goods - and buy them for half price.
He did get his comeuppance. On a business trip he asked at the check-in desk if there was any chance of an upgrade from Economy. The lady gave him a conspiratorial nod and said that could probably be arranged. She keyed in a few commands and said, "Yes that's all sorted. Just four hundred and fifty pounds to pay".0 -

That's not much of a come-uppance.0 -
