So theft gives you little moments of joy?

If a supermarket sells pre packaged fruit that has a labelled price you pay THAT price at the till.


If a supermarket sells WEIGHED bags of grapes WITHOUT providing WEIGHING machines then they should do the weighing at the tills, and then add whatever that weighed price is to the bill. If I wish to put more grapes in my bag because said WEIGHED bag isn't as full as I would like it, then it is the responsibility of the supermarket cashier to WEIGH that bag at the checkout.


You cannot blame the customer for adding more fruit to his or her basket when it is open so you put it into a plastic bag for them to weigh at the end. Unbelievable. Is no one on this forum allowed a moment of joy? Or is it everyone except me and the fox who are allowed to be happy?

I'm assuming that the bag has a price on it? If so, they've put the right amount of grapes in that bag for the price. Adding more to it is theft. It just simply is. They don't put the pre-filled bags there for you to add to at your discretion!!!!

I was in Sainsburys and a woman was feeding her son and herself from the pre-weighed bags of grapes...I reported them to an assistant who went and spoke to the mum...she came over and threatened me- I could not wipe the smile off my face at her reaction ..so there is a chance that Louisa may have an underweight bag of grapes anyway.

I do hope Lou is not in Hospital Foxy...but if she were, I'd pop along to Goose Green Park and pick her some Daffodils seeing as she is not adverse to "glad handling" a few grapes in the public domain!

As I clearly said already, these bags of grapes do not come with a price tag on them. They are simply open bags of grapes which contain seemingly variable amounts of each bunch in each bag. You then take said bag and put it into a small plastic bag from the roller, and take them to the till to be weighed. They are priced by the kilo on the sign. However, whenever I have gone to the till they ALWAYS charge the same price, regardless how many grapes are in the bag.


Louisa.

So a loose product is sold by the 'weighted' price in a supermarket, no barcode given on the product which you bag yourself. And yet, it is the customers responsibility to put the product in their basket and hope the till staff can guess how many grapes are in the bag?(seeing as they do not weigh them as they should at the till?). Bizarre logic. All products should come with a barcode, unless they are loose fruits and vegetables which are WEIGHED.


Louisa.

I wouldn't say sudden joy, but certainly quiet amusement, that a thread asking for joyful moments managed to go six posts before diverting into an argument.


Oh and sudden joy - three teenagers sitting on the grass in Peckham Rye park yesterday, all absorbed in books - not just eBooks either, proper hardbacks! A sight to gladden an erstwhile teacher's heart.

    • I read elsewhere that somebody was stabbed,  but I have no idea how reliable that information is.
    • Hello Did anyone see an accident about 15 minutes ago at the junction of Goodrich and Friern Road. A black car driven by a lady ran in to the side of my car as I was coming up Friern Road- instead of pulling over she drove off without providing her insurance information. If anyone happened to see this or has her license plate details please pm me. Thanks

    • On what basis do you object to the economy spend numbers in the report and describe it as "extremely unlikely"? Is that objection based on data or is it vibes-based? Where does this estimate of "50-100 vehicles" come from? The objectors:supporters ratio doesn't speak volumes. Planning applications of this sort always receive objections from various curtain twitches and NIMBYs. It doesn't mean those objections are well-founded or sensible. The planning officers and councillors need to consider the issue objectively, not just count the letters. It's not a public vote. Saying the building is "out of character" is meaningless out of context. It's an unusual building on an unusual infill site. It's not supposed to be a model for future development across Dulwich as a whole.  We are in the middle of a housing crisis. London desperately needs more housing units. This is an opportunity to get a whole bunch of them on a small, unloved industrial site on top of a transit hub. Not building it because people like the Dulwich Society complains it's "visible" is crazy.
