Lisa21 said:Its not REALLY stealing but when Asda did pick&mix I got a huge bag,weighed it and it came to something like £3.95but I thought sod it its a neccesity!!! but couldnt resist having the occasional nibble as I was doing the rest of my shopping. By the time I got to the checkout and the girl weighed it it had gone down to about 70p!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im sure the first lot of scales were broken tho
I have a friend who torments unfortunate teenage staff at cinemas over the rip-off pick n mix. The trick is to pick a sweet that will weigh less than the container you're supposed to put them in (for which the scales have been adjusted), and to place it, sans container, on the scale while holding up an imperious finger and saying very politely "How much is that, please?". The scale will register £0.00 as the assistant stammers "er.. um...", at which point you say "Thank you very much" and pop the sweet into your mouth. You could keep it going until the management came out, but that would be cruel...
