> I bought a bunch of stuff, over £150, & I glanced at my receipt as the
cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of £40. I told her I didn't
request a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take the £40 because
she couldn't delete it. I told Her to call a supervisor. Supervisor came & said
I'd have to take it.. I said NO! Taking the £40 would be a cash advance against
my Credit card & I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they
couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the
supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything! The
second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of £20
popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came
out right. The cashier agreed that the Electronic Pad must be defective.>> Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because she NEVER
offered me the £40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went
through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?>> Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford , Sainsburys last week.
She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her along and
didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier
was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look at her receipt until
later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for £20 cash back. SHE DID
NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!>> My co-worker called Sainsburys who investigated but could not see the cashier
pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her
niece told her this. This is a new scam going on. The cashier will key in that
you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person
in the queue.>> Please, please, please check your receipts right away when using credit or
debit cards!> This is NOT limited to Sainsburys; they are one of the largest retailers so
they have the most incidents.> I am adding to this. My husband and I were in Sainsburys and paying with
credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card signer he just happen
to notice there was a £20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not
ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she
canceled it. We really didn't think anything of it until we read this email.>> I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????>> To make matters worse ...THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR
WHOLESALE LOCATION!!!>> BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT........CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!!!!>> THIS COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING THE STAND. I'VE
SEEN PEOPLE DO JUST THAT. NOW I'LL START!>> PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS, KIDS, LOVED ONES.
