You shop, you line up at the till, your shopping is scanned by the assistant, you bag it up, you walk towards the exit then some other staff member decides you look dodgy and wants to see your receipt incase you have something that the till assistant neglected to scan? Absolutely no chance I'm putting up with that. Stop looking dodgy then.!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I however would not show them anything unless they made a specific allegation that they'd seem me steal something. Then I'd insist the police are called and They can look in my bags. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 1 hour ago, Al Bundy said: Blame the scum that steal, not the establishments. Aldi closed their store in Eastwood, Rotherham due to all the thefts. It was more economical to lose the income from an entire store than claim on their insurance for the thefts. Given that it was Eastwood, SYP had no interest in going and dealing with the culprits...

Aldi usually ask if you want your receipt. Unless I've got something that may need to be returned I always say no as I think it saves on paper. If their policy is now to search bags they should give receipts as a matter of course. I certainly will make sure I get one now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no chance I'm putting up with that. I suspect that they're targetting those using the self-scan over those using the assistant scan. A lot of retailers are now rethinking self-scan due to the losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet SYP would be dealing with the culprits if they had misgendered someone whilst robbing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Hang on, are we talking about looking in the empty carrier bags you have taken in, or your handbag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, You stood at the counter and the shop assistants used to SERVE you. Now, they insist you SERVE YOURSELF to save them money. Serves em reight.
