Went to buy my ticket for the Euro Millions tonight, handed over a fiver and was returned a £2 Lucky Dip and £8

Should I have said anything? If it was a small retailier I would have pointed out there error, as it was Te$co's I though fudge it and pocketed the extra cash

What are you doing paying 'Chav Tax' in the first place?

With a local family newsagent, the shop would have been £5 under. End of story.

With a big supermarket, the supervisor will realise that the till is £5 down at the end of the cashier's shift. The cashier will be sacked for dishonest behavior, and in these testing times, will find it hard to get another job, especially with a bad reference from Tesco.
He/she will have to drop out of their law degree, and instead of becoming a high-flying global human rights barrister, will drift into drug abuse and, eventually, steal your car.

You did utterly utterly wrong.
hth, and best of luck with the millions!

It's worse than that. That high flying barrister would have gone on to free Superman, who in turn saves the world, and without their input, it'll be the end of civilisation as we know it.

Now see what you did Simon!

On a school trip to York when I was 14/15 I bought a Big Mac meal using a £5, and got change of a £20.

Sadly it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me in school

That's hardly sufficient compensation for being subjected to a Big Mac.

So apart from stealing your car, it ends well

I always point it out. only because Im well off, not because I'm good.

There was a time when I used to rob them. Only because I was a Scouser, not because I was bad

FTFY

interesting.
If they handed you 10k and that meant the till was all square
you would take it

thats what I would call a humanist attitude to morality rather than a religious one.

how are you anyway ?
is hubby ok


I posted some pics of my dongo a while ago. did you see them ?

We're fine thanks we've just spent a couple of days away for our 20th wedding anniv.

Sadly, I missed your dongo snaps

[EternalOptimist]

I'd just fret that the person may get into trouble if their till was wrong. I've worked in shops and bars and restaurants and it is a worry if your till is down at the end of the shift.

Since you mentioned errors...

If I'm given too much change - or they forget to charge me for something and I realise, I always say so.
I blame the nuns

How much do they charge?

(I'm assuming they all looked like CM's avatar).

Sister Julie was quite pretty, but all the others were ancient and mad as spoons
