Supermarket Scams.

[Amelie]

I have a good one going at the mo.

I usually buy three bunches of lillies every fortnight at £4.99 each from Tesco Disco Metro. Now they just about last the two weeks.

So last time i needed new ones i phoned up Tezzies and sad i i had only had them 6 days, thus not living up to their 7 day promise of survival or whatever, and no i did not have my recipet. No worries says the overly helpfull lady, as they are faulty bring them back and you can have three new bunches.

Huraaaaay!

Feel free to add any treid and tested supermarket scams

Good one
On your way into your supermarket of choice, select all your fav magazines/newspapers and slot them into the bit where the kids are meant to sit. The cashier.. if she spots them will assume you have paid for them at the magazine/newspaper counter.
I also like to open a bag of twiglets and eat them while doing the weekly shop, then sneakily stuff the empty packet behind a shelf full of Pal or summit

If ya buy dog food in them big sacks or cat litter, hang em on that hook just behind the handle on ya trolley, an accidently forget to unhook em as you go thru the checkout. If any eagle-eyed checkouter spots em its just a case of 'ooops silly me'...never happened to me yet tho.

I bought a belly button ring from H Samuel for £25 and after a few months, the majority of the diamantes had fell out So I goes back, buys the exact same one, take the dodgy one back a couple of weeks later with the receipt of my new one and complain that this shouldn't happen after 'a couple of weeks'. They offer me a replacement for the same one but I refuse because I don't want the same thing happening again and ask for a full refund

I have done this 3 times now (obviously in 3 different shops)

Ok ....when the promotions girls are in and they are giving out free samples on the booze aisle do the following:
1. come prepared with various hats, fake moustaches, wigs etc and keep walking past and helping yourself.
2. say things like 'oooh thats lovely, just let me try it again before I buy 12 bottles' or ' I must take a sample of this to my wife/husband for them to try' etc
3. smash a crate of Bud on the floor and when they offer to mop it up, get down on your knees, say 'Its ok, I've got it covered' and assume licking position

It's Tesco company policy, if they overcharge you for an item, to then give you that item for free.

It happened to me a while back buying a case of beer. They charged me for two. Went back and they refunded all the money.

So find a mate who works in Tesco and go buy a telly and get them to over-charge you.

my mum

is a professional at all this stuff. Though weirdly she did actually find a broken knife blade in a chicken once. You can imagine how much she went to town over that one. I think the out of court settlement was close to £500
