Have you been scammed/overcharged at 7-11?

[ChaiyaTH]

Lately quite a few times and typical in branches where there is a lot of tourists where they would scan a more expensive type of cigarettes then I always buy. No idea how many times this happened when I also bought other items, as that's when I not noticed. They look surprised/caught when I told them how much it cost out of my head. Have to admit it is a clever one.

So they are risking getting caught out at great risk to themselves in order to make more money for CP group. Right.

The cashier could not possibly get any benefit from ringing up a higher priced item.

I say that is nonsense.

Of course they can, you simply default the slip with a wrong billed item, invoice the right one back and pocket the difference. One of the oldest tricks out of the scam cashier books. Is no different than when one returns a item.

To then do that with cigarettes or a almost identical item but different price, is scam genius junior level.

To remove a wrongly scanned item usually needs manager approval to override the till. So they are in it as well for a few baht and risking their franchise.

I still call nonsense.

You don't think they work as a team?

I don’t look at the change that I get back at stores. And if my change is just a few baht I don’t take it. I mean what is 3 cents, 6 cents 9 cents etc? To me it’s nothing. But When I’m there it’s a vacation not a place to pinch Pennie’s. 

Oh don't be anti Semitic please .

I forget the saying but maybe an academic can quote and please keep it relevant 

A group of pennies adds up?
