Have you ever gotten home from the grocery store with a bunch of stuff that you didn't?

Question

put in your cart? What are the possibilites? 1. Hubby snuck some stuff in or 2. The cashier gave me some of the stuff that was in the order of the lady behind me. Bingo!

It turned out that I didn't have to make the trip back to the store (which is 20 miles round trip). Thank goodness. It turns out the stuff was charged to me so I don't have too much of a guilt gut. But, I feel sorry for the lady behind me who will be missing her dinner rolls and twinkies. lol

Answer 1

lol... I like the idea I read from a woman who would put things like expensive battaries or condoms on the belt in front of people who cut in front of her in line, or had more than the allowed 12 items in a the express lane.


you didnt do either of those things did you? lol

Answer 2

That is sad and I'm sorry about your situation. There are some things you can do though. You can call CPS and they will make a file a complaint and they will come and look around your house and once they see the condition they will make you mom clean the house and fix the damages within a certain time period, If she doesn't then they may place you in a foster care and I don't say that to scare you, but its reality, if at all possible before they put you in the system so to speak hey will try and place you with family first. Don't be scared to make a call that is going to make your life better. Feel free to email if you have any more questions or even if You just need some one to give you a little support with what to do. Hope this helpss

The possibilities are:

1. The Kids SNUCK something into the cart .. which is why I ALWAYS checked everything in the cart at the end of EACH Aisle and then JUST BEFORE I went into the line ... (Thank Goodness I am NOW an Empty-Nesting Single Retiree .. as a Single Parent (and Long Term one!) It was SO DIFFICULT to find time to grocery shop in peace .. and NOT have to deal with kids sneaking in unhealthy choices)

2. The person behind thought it was 'funny' to try to get someone else to pay for their groceries (and this has happened to me, unfortunately).

3. Cashier "Mistake" -- which I ALWAYS Catch ... I KNOW what I am purchasing!

Answer 4

Well honey, the 2 possibilities you've mentioned happen one too many times and in most cases, it's often in the supermart though. Here's the conclusion of the 2 possibilities though:-

* Stuffing unknown stuffs without payer's knowledge - This is always the case when comes to families and friends wanting to buy groceries but either refusing to pay or knowing that the payer will disagree to the items, they become sneakers instead.

* Cashier gave me some of the stuff that was in the order of the lady behind me - There are times when the queue is long that in order to shorten it, the cashier's speed hastened, resulting into keying in items that are not even in the payer's list though. Either or that as the back queue lady puts her groceries onto the cashier, she didn't pay attention to them as the items are combined with yours though.

Cheers and have a nice week ahead :)

Answer 5

Yes. I don't have a car, and I usually take the bus to the store, or walk. It really irritates me when I arrive home and find that a bag has been left on the counter by the bag boy- and I paid for it. Or worse, someone else left with my things, and I paid for them. Luckily, I have a grocery store that I can call, explain the situation, and they will take my word for it next time I go to the store. But, it still irritates me, though. Because no one can pay me back for the extra time and inconvenience.

Answer 6

I am so cautious of that. I put the separater between each me and the people in line. Did the cashier charge you for all these things? I am so careful to watch what is being rung up and the price because they make mistakes too! I love the computerized cashier where I am scanning the items and bagging them. I see it all!

Answer 7

Your hubby snuck some stuff into the line and paid the cashier to ring it up last to make sure it looked like someone else's order. You have a sneaky hubby.

Answer 8

Call the store, tell them about the problem. Keep your receipt.
They will probably be willing to have someone pick up the
unwanted items and adjust the account to your satisfaction.
No need for you to have to drive back to the store. Most managers will either adjust the charges or tell you to keep the unwanted items since they are probably perishible and they write it off. They are good about that at most stores.

Answer 9

Once,my 3 years old son took one of those key ring (the ones who can also put a picture in).Anyways, when I got home that day,I notice that he was playing with it and didn't realize at first that he took it while we were checking out of the store.I asked my daughter where did he get the item and she told me that he got it from the store.
On my way to work that night,I stop at the store and went to costumer services isle and had them scan the tag and paid them the $3.50 I owe.

WHEN YOU BRING YOUR BABIES TO THE STORE WITH YOU,THEY OFTEN BECOMES YOUR WIZARD......(LOL).

Answer 10

Your husband threw those in... if they belonged to the lady behind you, she'd have put the smack down on the cashier before her/his hands were even ON those Twinkies..
