Have you paid or not?
Discussion
In the supermarket on the weekend and there is a long line of people waiting to be served, this man just walks past everyone and holds up a single item and says to the checkout girl this is £1.50, here is a £2 coin keep the change and he walks out of the shop.
Can you do that, have you paid?
Can you do this with booze? they wont be able to check your age.

No. The sale and purchase agreement has not been completed by throwing money at the vendor.
It would be if she accepted the money. The IA is offering, she would have to accept the offer to form the contract. If she said she would have to scan the item before accepting the money then no contract is formed.No. The sale and purchase agreement has not been completed by throwing money at the vendor.
Also the man could argue the girl on the check out said/mumbled ok completing the contract,
MAN - "I'm 100% sure officer she said ok, I left the cash so I was not permanently depriving the shop of anything, infact I paid more that I should have."

Always used to do that when I used to read newspapers. Just drop 20p on the counter in the local newsagents. I thought that was the done thing? Sounds like I'm a criminal, ho hum.
What really boils my piss is the mini supermarket/petrol stations that seem to be spreading. If I could get to the front of the queue of mums doing their weekly shop in the petrol station to drop my £20 on the counter, I would.
Thinking about it I have done the same £20 in petrol in the car, I'm in a rush so straight up to the counter (no queue) and place £20 on it, said thanks I don't need a receipt smiled and walk off not really giving the server time to say anything.What really boils my piss is the mini supermarket/petrol stations that seem to be spreading.

DO you think parliament would have meant to criminalise behaviour where D not only telegraphs his intention to pay, but also leaves more money than necessary to pay for the goods? Can you imagine a jury that could come to the conclusion the behaviour in this thread were 'dishonest'?
Secondly, what civil wrong would the supermarket look to right in the courts (in an imaginary world where it came to that)? If there is no contract, what is any relief to be against? Nuisance?

Did you identify what the item was? Was it priced at £1.50 or not?Can you do that, have you paid?

Some items do have big stickers on them with the price/special offer could have been one of them.
