Job: cashier

Item doesn't scan

Customer: "That means it's free, right?"

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

In Australia, if it scans higher than the price on the shelf, it is free.

Maybe that's the policy at some stores, but according to the ACCC, it has to be sold at the cheaper price, or not sold at all.

When I used to work in a supermarket, I hated the stupid customers. This is a classic example. One of the soft drink companies fairly regularly gave away 50% free.

Therefore, for the same price, the bottle would be 3 litres in size rather than 2.

The amount of people who didn't like that.

"Excuse me, where's the 2 litre bottle?" "Oh, it's the same price miss, you get an extra litre for free." "But I don't want 3 litres, I only want two!" Sigh!
