Problems in Supermarkets in Germany

[snowingagain]

I once did something similar (distracted by toddler). I did not get caught, but went back in and paid for the items explaining what had happenned. It is a place I use all the bloody time, items were minor in cost compared to those I had paid for. The way I was treated, for weeks onwards put me off owning up if it happenned again (though I am super careful now, and toddler is now 20 and possibly more distracting but we rarely shop together).

Goodness, after seeing mention of checkouts…..just had a flashback to old TT. Did Poppit/Poppet (RIP) post a little funny checkout story that got the most likes ever? Perhaps someone can remember how it went before I bodge it completely

I remember it like this: He had loaded all the goods on the belt, and then there was a discussion with the checkout clerk; So he left the place... Without the goods, leaving them on the belt...

I vaguely remember that as well.

I think it was something like…..Mr Poppet had placed his goods on the belt in Lidl. Cashier then said her till is now closed, go to a colleague expecting him to remove all items. He said, sure I will go to a colleague….in Aldi. Left everything on the belt and exited Lidl!

Yup, that was exactly it. He had a proper full shop on the conveyor belt and she wanted him to shift it all over to another one

Bonkers.

What a dude.

We had a much less dramatic one where our Edeka had a great wine/beer offer on, so we loaded up with various kinds and went to the till where they weren't ringing up properly with the offer price. The manager came over to help, and informed us that the offer was now over, they just hadn't changed the signs, which was proper irritating - no apology, obviously, and none of this 'if we mis-label you get it free/cheap' or whatever that we have seen (maybe just a UK thing)- just a terse statement. So we abandoned our very full trolley at the till and left. Aint got no interest in re-shelving all that lot, thank you!
