Oh gawd, barcode switchers. This stuff is like fingernails down a blackboard. I hated barcode switchers. And then they'd get really aggressive when you busted them. Like dude, did you really think we wouldn't notice that the giant, $150 tree was only scanning up at $3.99?
You can't be that obvious with it- you are only asking to get caught. Once it was for a roasting pan. The label had fallen off so I grabbed the label for the smaller size and went through the self checkout.
Another time was for a bra. The bras were the same style and size but one was $5 more because it had more design and lace.
Then there was a time we bought an outdoor fire chimney. The bay where they were all kept was so disorganized and product was in the wrong spot. The one we wanted was $169 so we grabbed the $99 sticker off a different one and went through the regular checkout. Of course it came up at $169 but we argued with the clerk and the manager that the price was $99. The didn't believe us so we took the manager to the bay where they were located and explained that we had no idea what the right price was for which item because all the product was in the wrong spot and the sticker on the box said $99. We got it for $99.
This is supposed to be a non-judgemental thread, so I am just going to have to sit on my fingers about this one.
Let me put it another way to you: I have been the person you have treated like they were stupid. It's not nice, especially when I KNOW you're deliberately trying to rip us off.0 -

I have to add, I have worked retail for 17+ years and do not understand why you are taking this personally......0 -
I was so flippant about my food baby/gain after that giant May Day brunch, thinking it'd go away in a few days. It hasn't. I'm STILL gaining, despite going back to normal (even more restricted than normal) eating. I'm up almost another pound in five days and it's doing my head in because I tend to let what I weigh in the morning dictate how I feel for the rest of the day. I've been angry at myself for a week now. (That on top of the work stress I'm buckling under is not helping. *sigh*)0

I like to check this discussion and I must confess that I only read the answers that have up to 4 lines or just 2 paragraphs0

(I don't want to be rude, but sorry, she's one of these quite large unhealthy people that will end up being sick for a month.)
Maybe I'll turn it into a positive & call in sick on Monday and blame it on her! (Assuming I don't, you know, ACTUALLY GET SICK)
Oops. I do that. Well, not often, because I only get a cold about once every two or three years... but I was raised to "suck it up and carry on" so I always think to myself "it's just a stupid head cold" and, as long as I feel well enough to work (which I always do), off I go.
I'm in a quiet, pretty isolated end of the building so I don't have a lot of coworker contact anyway.
And usually by the time I get to the audible coughing-up-a-lung stage I'm actually on the mend and feeling a whole lot better, so I couldn't justify staying home when I feel fine.
Guilty as well. I was brought up with "Unless you throw up in front of me or you are clearly dying, you will go to school" I can't get out of the habit. I once had two funerals in one day and I still went to uni in the morning. I got weird looks for turning up to uni in smart black clothes though...
Maybe it's a Brit thing? Lol. (I'm UK born)
Did much the same thing... two funerals -- both for young people and, sadly, suicides -- two days in a row, then went from the second funeral to testify at court for work. At least the smart black clothes weren't out of place.
Possibly. Stiff upper lip and all that. Lol.0 -
No worries. I wouldn't take it personally. I would only do it with companies that I am not a big fan of that have tons of money but lack customer service. Such as WalMart and Canadian Tire. I would never have done such a thing to a boutique or independent business. There is a serious lack of customer service these days (self checkouts, uncaring staff, staff that have no product knowledge, etc). I don't do this anymore because if I was caught, I could lose my security clearance at work.smashley_mashley wrote: »smashley_mashley wrote: »I have also switched barcodes on products to pay a lower price.

Longish and TMI confession:
I mentioned before that I have a phobia of walking outside because I nearly stepped in a very dead raccoon. I've been trying to work on that, so today I took my son to a park that has a playground and a very out in the open 1/2 mile jogging path circling it. It also has lots of trash cans and plenty of free plastic bags for dog walkers.
It's hot and humid today, and those trash cans are starting to smell like that raccoon. About half way through my first lap, I started breathing through my mouth to lessen the impact when I'd approach one. An unidentified bug flew in my mouth, I couldn't cough it out, had left my water in the car, and didn't want to embarrass my son by everyone watching his mom puke in the middle of the park from walking a quarter mile. So I swallowed it. I didn't quit, either, I did the rest of my laps before coming home. And then I kept thinking about it, and started feeling a weird tickle in the back of throat, and then I convinced myself it was probably a stray bug leg, and then I started thinking that it was probably a fly, since a bee would've hurt, and flies have been crawling all over the dog poop in the garbage, and yeah, there came back breakfast and the bug. I guess the upside is I don't have to log the bug now?
Not any closer to wanting to walk outside after this.
Ewww that is nasty. Well done for getting out though! AND you carried on! Not only for the rest of the one lap, but all of them, you should be very proud of yourself! Please don't let it put you off though

All these shoplifting confessions reminded me that I stole money from my parents a few times, just a random $20 here and there from the cash they kept in a drawer. That was one of the benefits of alcoholic parents, they could never rely on their memory. God only knows what I wanted the money for, I always had part-time jobs.
I also stole money from one of my employers as a teenager. By then I had left home and was supporting myself so I was also dirt poor most of the time... but could I have saved some money by giving up smoking? Noooo... I opted to steal instead. At least it never amounted to much, probably about $100 in total. But I am incredibly ashamed of that behaviour and the guilt has weighed on me for over 30 years.
Hey, I hope this confession thread has absolved you of your guilt
Somewhat, although I have continued to patronize my former employer (a drycleaner) all this time in the hope that having my business has made up for the loss all those years ago. My way of trying to make amends.0 -

I'll be happy when Fed Up is off Netflix. Every random yahoo who half paid attention to it getting lumped in with people who've been LC for years, as if we all say the same misguided crap they're spewing because also-ran Couric told them.
if you're looking for a good sugar-battle thread the "Four bags of Oreos" thread fits the bill!
The oreo thread fighting is making my day.
I confess, all the Oreo thread makes me want to do is eat Oreos.
I started reading this one...will finish later but I have to admit I would KILL my husband (if I had one) if he came home with that stuff. I can't have stuff like that in my house at all or I will eat it all. And yes, I have no will power. But I can't say that in there...I would be eviscerated. I was happy to see the guy I can't stand from all the nasty threads is in jail.
Is that what it is?? I've been wondering what the jail thing is about. I thought it was a new thing you could have, I didn't realise it's punishment for nasty people.0 -
Confession: I haven't been sleeping well lately. I am assuming this is due to my lack of exercise and stress at work. On Tuesday I couldn't sleep and it was day 10 of my Amish bread mixture fermenting. So I was up at 4:30 making Amish Bread muffins. I still made it to work by 7. This morning it is just past 3:30 a.m. and I am wide awake and catching up on this thread. I can count on one hand how many times I have had exercise in the past two weeks and I am very irritable about it. also TOM came with a vengeance and I have been stabby to everyone for two weeks now. I wish my office was open this early so I could get some stuff done without the phone always ringing.
2. Some days I wish I had more of a warehouse job so I could get my exercise in by just going to work. Also, so I wouldn't really have to think.0 -
Another sleep confession: I watch too much Air Crash Investigations (Mayday in Canada). My dreams last night were styled as ACI episodes, compete with waking up every darned hour. Including one frantic spider-search because my dream had just faded out to that point if you're not sure if it's real or you're still asleep and there was a redback in my bed in my dream. Yeah, idk either.0

*snort*
I would've just spit out the bug. I am not a delicate spitter.
I confess, I've swallowed more than a couple of bugs in my lifetime. It's gross, but it's a fact of life when you run outside before sunrise.
Or biking, especially in a wooded area. Blech. Or they fuse to your eyeball (because you're too stubborn to wear sunglasses).
I was going down a particularly steep section of single-track trail and had to pass between two trees. I got a spider web across the face - and the spider came with it! It was on my eyelid and I had my eye shut but I could see the shadow of it moving across my eyelid. I couldn't stop where I was and somehow completed the hill with my eyes shut. I couldn't get it off my face fast enough once I hit flat open ground.
Did I mention I'm scared of spiders?
Well that sounds absolutely horrifying. Our front path to the street goes between two hedges and there is always a spider web there first thing in the morning in Autumn (fall) and I completely freak out when I walk through it. But I always forget, so it will happen the next morning. I never learn!0 -

Yikes. The stinkbug in the shower this morning doesn't seem half as bad anymore.
I kept finding those little b@!$4!&$ in my hotel room in VA. Then just after I got home I found one in my house. I looked it up online to find it was a stink bug and found an article about how they haven't made it to the UK but there are fears about the effect on farming if they do. Must have snuck over in my suitcase. I was worried I was going to cause some kind of ecological disaster. I caught it and flushed it down the loo. Didn't find anymore, so hopefully was just a solo hitchhiker.
And daddy long legs/crane flies are totally harmless aren't they? They don't bother me, just kind of hover around. Moths are what I really hate.
I was going to say, I have NO IDEA what these are and I hope to keep it that way! So what are Horse Flies? Because they bite and I thought they were crane flies, so now I'm confused.0 -

WHAT? People send US money? Cause as far as I can tell, the UK seems to be propping up the rest of the world with our F**KING taxes. Someone released the list of how much money is donated to what country and I sat there thinking "Well no wonder the NHS is going down the tank, all our money is going to someone else's fracking health care!" Rant over. Have a nice day 0 -

Horse flies look like a regular house fly only about twice the size, still prefer those over deer flies though those little *kitten* can all die in a volcano.

I regained all 25kg I had lost - and then a few more. It only took me a year to gain it back. Now I am working on losing it again (7kg down, 24 to go)0

@spamarie do you drink sounds and stuff too?
I can't stand creamy sauces, but I eat most things wet. When I was younger I was super picky and refused to eat many many things. I like other picky people, because it makes me feel more normal.
I know what you mean! I married a fellow picky eater. We didn't meet at 'picky eaters anonymous', it was a fluke. It's fine by me though, as he's in no position to judge my weirdness. We're both actually quite healthy eaters due to our pickiness (neither of us like pizza or cream or lots of other stuff people rave about) so there's very little motivation to change.0
