Pet Hates........or FFS

[Pierre De Grenoble]

Exactly Martin, for whatever reason I was buzzed going out of Morrisons and as my main shopping had been in Liddles I had to produce that bill as well for security.
Saved me a lot of hassle in the long run that, me thinks.

Common Scam:- Security Guard's mate goes through the barrier 6 inches in front of you. his trolly is loaded with knock off.

Security pounces on an innocent you and his mate saunters out of the area whilst you get all the hassle.

I stand to be corrected but I have also been told that Security does not have a legal right to search you and or your bags

You are correct. They have no rights above any other civilian in UK. Complaints should be made to police and the sia

I've had it happen to me in Tesco! Some dodgy looking female with loads of shopping walking out directly in front of me setting off the alarm. I'd clocked her waiting near the exit as I approached.

Big security guard over like a shot asking if I'd paid for everything I was carrying. I told him it was all my property and he wasn't touching it. Walked around him and carried on outside with him following and demanding to see a receipt. I just said 'Bollocks' and went to my car. I knew he was running a fiddle. Fuck 'em I say!

It's up to them to prove you nicked it, not up to you to prove you paid for it. If they detain you physically ands it turns out they were wrong to do so you can sue them. And supermarkets have deep pockets. They'll settle out of Court too as they don't want the publicity or the legal bills.

Several newspapers have reported steep rises in shoplifting as plod no longer investigates any theft under £200. Too busy tracking down malicious tweets with their backsides glued to a chair.

Now then, you know that the most important thing we have to tackle in our society is people having their feelings hurt...

[tapid]

Yeah, were just ignore anyone doing anything unlawful.

I think if this happened to me I think on the spot I would phone up the head office and explain what was happening and ask to speak to someone in charge of security. That would make the guard squerm a bit.

Yes but you all know that the situation can get surreal fast. Camera operator having a bad day, security guard that wants a promotion and a couple of jobsworths. I dont think you would be so indignant when asked to return to the shop and they are threatening to call the police

I may have an item in my bag for life bought from another shop which this shop also sell. This is important especially in the days of automated tills. Its a situation waiting to happen if I dont have receipts.

There must be a trend of people going nah dont want my receipt or they wouldnt ask. They leave them sticking out of the machines as well. Its pure lazy mindedness. Who are those non caring people I wonder? It takes a few seconds out of my day to get a receipt so why wouldnt I?

When I get home and everyting is packed away I chuck my receipts then. Even then something may be dodgy so its good practice to generally hang on to them for a little while.

Anyway it does my head in. If they just handed me the receipt they could save on the complete waste of words every time.

I dont agree with that in the workplace

[Macca]

Receipts from cash machines, what are they all about? The most pointless and wasteful feature ever. You can see your balance so why do you need a bit of paper with it on as well? If you're that forgetful write it down. And then they leave it lying on the machine or chuck it on the ground anyway.
