Or you scan some Value Cheddar and cheapo wine multiple times instead of the expensive items, you then get a receipt for the correct number and type of items but pay loads less.

Youve done this before havent you ?

Nah, the real pro's take their steak to the self service veg weighing counter and put it through as carrots. Get the print off sticker and put it over the real barcode on the steak.

When you get to the checkout it scans for a fraction of price and the weight is correct so no alerts go off. You also don't have to do anything that might attract attention regards re-scanning things whilst being observed.

It would only be picked up if they saw you abusing the veg weigh scales elsewhere in the store, or noticed that the description of what you were bagging didn't match the screen.

You've done this before, haven't you ?

I think that was wrongly attributed - I think the original was a package featuring Ainsley Harriot.

That said, it should apply to either...

I'm waiting for a mod to plop this into the Food Nom Nom forum...

I have been told that people take the value stickers/low price stickers and put them on other items then try and scan them through!?!?

I mean, seriously?!?! Do people not notice some person removing/swapping labels?

How embarrassing, there's a Tesco in Henley.

According to the news he's "devastated and will get treatment."

Devistated he steals or devistated he got caught?

And can now sell his story for £20k to a newspaper "My life of cheese-lifting, it is a wine-y story..."

It being Tesco he was probalby unhappy with the red wine reduction.
