Good that you're taking the positive out of this.

Ha, I think it's only because it's £2.. if it was anything else, I'm sure I wouldn't see the positive!

Or maybe he isn't a thief & just made a mistake?

I doubt it, the process of requesting cash back through the til/tpay point isn't just a slip of the finger..and if it was, the 7 isn't next to the 9 on the keypad..

He robbed me of two quid.. and times that by 365.. nice savings pot.

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you need to input your PIN for any kind of cashback transaction rather than using contactless?

You aren't wrong.
Cashback isn't available via Contactless - only Chip & Pin.

Well, to me, it doesn't matter if you are right or wrong. I paid with my card - and I have a receipt that clearly states total goods: £17 something, cash back: £2.00 which doesn't change the fact that I didn't request/receive the cash back from my account. Not all terminals have contactless, and to be honest, I couldnt tell you what shops in the last week I've made contactless or chip and pin payments in. But, I can tell you, I don't get cash back for 2 effing quid, ever. Perhaps I'm completely blase to the in store payment options. So, thanks for the opportunity for me to clarify; I paid with my card, using chip and pin (:T), and I still don't have the money that was put through as cash back on my transaction.

Do tell us the outcome If you get nothing back from the customer service droids at the store I'd take it up with your bank.

The assumed superiority of some people is beyond belief!

Haha, that sounds about right - and just had a quick google.. seems if these companies collect donations and then "pay" them forward to the charity, they can claim corporation tax relief.. isn't money fun!

I think that's an American issue only, for UK they're would be no net impact on the company. The only way they would receive a deduction is if they were showing the original payment as income and being taxed on it (so net zero still).


Shame that there has been theft from you, although one point to check are you sure it's not for something else e.g. an item they couldn't put easily through the till such as an add on to a meal?
