Check Your Dockets - Coles Supermarket

[donnashuggy]

Interesting  thing, not sure if this has happened to others........but

A friend of mine called me to see if I was home as she wanted to use my scales (being an eBay seller) I know mine are accurate as I weigh things all day.

I am going to upload the docket to show shortly but to cut a long story short she purchased 4 mandarins and the weight on the docket showed over a kilo. When I weighed them they weighed 427 grams.

The only reason she wanted to check is because last week at another Coles supermarket she purchased a bag of mushrooms, checked the docket when she left and it said she purchase 1.3 kilos. She went back to the counter and asked them to weigh and check and the girl at the tobacco counter refunded her in full without checking which leads me to believe they know about this glitch.

I phoned ACA as it is probably worth investigating. There were other things that she was overcharged with last week I just can't remember what they were right now. I also called the supermarket and told them and they said to just come back and bring your docket, no apology or anything, smells fishy to me as though this happens frequently.

while serving a lady the other day had to politely ask her child to stop leaning on the scales while I was trying to put her mums fruit and veg through.

I tend to do that unintentionally at WW... due to the position of the scales might just be a light touch of my wrist or part of my arm on the scale.. I have had it pointed out to me by the check out persons before they weigh the produce I am buying.

here is another scam from coles-shopped there last week and used self service checkout-checked my docket and there was  a can of red bull tacked on the end(i never buy that **bleep**). Staff said it must have been a previous shopper scanned it but did not pay-but i would have noticed that when i began scanning. Also if that was so the redbull would appear at the top of puchases not where it was AT THE BOTTOM. VERY SUS!! Check your dockets people-this little scam would net them millions because most do not check dockets.

Only if you're stupid.

And thanks for dragging up something that's almost 6 years old
