Shoppers Beware

The bastards have really done it now !!!!!!!!!!!

A while ago after doing some grocery shopping we were checking our receipts. Now knowing that all the prices are in the computer , we have been trusting that the price advertised on the shelf under each product is what we would pay. Not so we found out.

3 times in a very short space of time we noticed that the prices were different. When it happened the 2nd time we asked for a refund and got it no problem. The 3rd time same thing got a refund no problem.

What gets my goat up, is the fact that how many people payed the bigger price??

Supermarkets already charge over inflated prices for there products and since this has happened ive been watching other shoppers and not many of them check their dockets before leaving the shop. The refunds we got amounted to about 6 or 7 dollars. Times that by , i don't know, 5ooo that's alot of income that the supermarket has made from what i think is ripping of customers.

I it says $2.99 per widget then it should be $2.99. I know mistakes happen but if 100 people have bought that item before someone comments on it you do the math.

Today at a different shop the same thing happened. It said on the box $39.99. The price at the checkout was $42.99. Luckily i spotted it and took it up with customer services. We got our refund and i asked what is going to happen if someone else buys one, will there be the same mistake? He said and i quote "I will leave a note" .

To who the #!@!$@! Tooth Fairy!!!

Just another example of shops ripping people off. Watch your dockets people save yourself some cash. It may sound tight arse but why should i pay more than the price that is on the @##$! box.

I'm of for another coffee goodbye

Work

I'm a fairly hard worker. Over my 21 years at this job I've learnt a thing or two. Lately I've been increasingly frustrated by my foreman who gets me to do things and then stands over me watching and telling me exactly how do do it. Now am i wrong in thinking that if he knows how to do it then why the @%$# doesn't he do it himself and let me get on with what i have to do?
Some days i am here there and everywhere slowly getting further and further behind in my capacity. I don't mind being busy but when i get told to do a job that someone else could do (that someone being the person who stands and watches my do it ) then that is a waste of my time the persons time and my bosses money paying two people to do one job. Plus the lost production that goes along with it.
What do i do ?
I'm getting close to telling him to either do it himself or go find something to do. I'm not that thick or incapable of thought that i cannot problem solve. 21 years has giving me many skills but the one skill that is slowly seeping away is tolerance.

I'm of to get a tomato goodbye
