a blue note ($10). feels bad man but I don't wanna go back and make a scene. Does the Woolworths have new screen system when the cashier can read it wrong?

It's the latest megahit forum post from the author that gave us Toilet Brush new needed and Never Taught How to Clean under Nails - How?
I love ozbargain forum, particularly the regular commentators.
In today's age of increasingly powerful technology people people talk about how computers will never be able to replace human ingenuity/intelligence and how there must be a fundamental respect and value placed on an individuals innate humanity.
Tougher argument to make when you see posts like that.
Oh good, I thought it was just me, I had to read it 3 times. Very cryptic.
oh, I thought I was going insane.
i'm a cryptologist, you'll have to read title and body in a continual manner
Short changed at Woolies he says.
Short changed at an IQ some might say.
ha ha, wish I would have come up with that one!
Huh?? What happened? You overpaid? You were given the wrong change? Did you pay by cash? was one item scanned wrong price… Are we talking short changed $5 or are we talking $500?? Not a lot of context.
And it's not "scene" if you don't make it one. Just go back in and ask and be polite. Mistakes happen.
i feel this
Can buy a lot of hot water with that blue note..
lol
Who says Australia's literary standards are sub par?
Hardly the Karen's, you were just being an unnecessary dick in your last comment telling the op to get English lessons
@timthetoolman: Might want to take a look further in the post and the similarities with the comments made before you start personally attacking people. Even in this thread similar comments have received plenty of up votes.
Apologies for making you outraged and emotionally involved.
@Drakesy: Seems you're the upset one stewing on it for 15 hours to come back with 'oh but others did it too'.
Try and relax a bit susan
Hardly the Karen's, you were just being an unnecessary dick in your last comment telling the op to get English lessons
*Karens
Whilst we are on the topic of English lessons.
criticize.com.
auWatch out, the Karens will down vote you to oblivion if you criticize the OP's English skills.
+1 from meAs we're discussing English skills, you forgot to end your sentence with a full-stop.
Did I?
Overcharged?
What ?
Anyway I'll compete with OP .
I was at the self scanner and WTF I had to call the attendant after every item I scanned .
I latter found out I was scanning everything the wrong direction , including the finale a changed bar code that the scanner didn't pick up and the attendant had to input herself !
Hahaha… scanning the wrong direction… I got a left hand screwdriver here if you need to change the scanner direction…
Wouldn't the items go through as a refund?
Goes on as a credit to your account…
"This guy made millions by swiping his groceries the wrong way, CLICK HERE to find out how…"
supermarket hack: if you scan the barcodes backwards the supermarket pays YOU
@Andard: supermarket hack: all fruit are bananas, all vegies are potato and all razor blades are mushrooms.
I remember that barcode was designed to work both ways?
I've heard it both ways.
Only if the number is a palindrome.
surprised no upvote, so I upvoted as i find your comment funny.
Shouldn’t need to call the attendant. Next time just stand upside down and scan everything.
i was suppose to get $30 plus change back. he gave me two blue notes. and some change (small) cents.
Did you not check how much you got back before leaving the counter?
Can you post a picture of the receipt?
yes…
Still waiting…
jobseeker
LOL. Maybe draw it in MS Paint?
Did you receive a receipt? What does it say the total change amount was? How much money did you hand over to pay?
$50.
$30.65
Seems correct.
So you believe you were short changed $10 approximately. How valuable is your time? Maybe the cashier made an honest mistake, the only way to resolve it to go back to the store and ask them to check their tallies or security footage if they have any around the registers.
So does Woolworths have a new screen system where they might of read the purschase as the return change.
Items 19.xx
note given $50
two blue notes plus change
Check your change on receipt, its not hard.
next time
where they might of read the purschase as the return change.
2 "blue notes" and some change is not $19.xx
I think OP meant his total was $19.xx and OP handed over a pineapple, and was only given 2 blues and some coin as change. When OP should has got 3 blues and coin or a 20 and a 10 plus coin.
…or a 20 and a 10 plus coin.
or a lobster and a blue plus coin.
Is there a name for 5 dollar notes?
@kiitos: Five Dollars – $5 – Fiver, Skydiver, Pink Lady, Prawn, Piglet & Rasher (as in bacon due to reddish pink and white colouration)
Ten Dollars – $10 – Blue Swimmer, Blue Heeler (name of a cattle dog), Tenner, Pav (this derived from Pavarotti from the Three Tenors- hint: tenners), a Banjo (from the picture of A.B. “Banjo” Paterson thereon and Ayrton Senna (rhyming slang for tenner).
Twenty Dollars – $20 – Red Lobster or just Lobster, Redback & Rusky (all terms pertaining to the red colouration of the note and that of the Soviet flag).
Fifty Dollars – $50 – Pineapple, McGarrett (after the lead character from T.V’s Hawaii 5-0 series / Book ‘em Danno), Yellow Peril and Banana.

@Antikythera: About 10 years ago I had some lady hand me an old white paper $100 bill. I checked it over to make sure it was legit, and accepted it, but I couldn't help but think how much more $100 could have bought you when she decided to save that.
I don't understand, I only have greens in my wallet.
No
Next time just use a card like we're in the 21st century? Why deal with dirty change?
No idea what OP is on about, but I has a classic today at Woolies. Bought some chicken breast @ $9.50 kg at the deli counter and the server screwed up and wrapped/weighed/labelled the chicken as king prawns @ $29.00 kg. Only noticed by chance at the self serve checkout register!
had that too. mixed up. expensive fruit but it was a different fruit in bag
And…. Don't leave us hanging dude
Well, he had an allergy to prawns and sued, winning 3 million dollars in damages.
It was only the label mate
Lesson here…
Don't pay cash.
And study hard at school.
if you don't study hard at school..
..you won't have cash.
Problem solved!
I once had a fight with someone over a toilet paper.
I witnessed it. The fight was sheet. Just 2 people rolling around. What a pack of @ss wipes.
You trying to be dunny?
Just the single toilet paper? Are we talking a sheet or a roll?
Let's just say by the end of the fight I didn't need it, I needed a shower cos I sh@t myself.
Is your handlers name Robert op?
why?
do you know him?
If you don't want to cause a scene, maybe go back at the end of the persons shift, follow them home and knock at their door and politely tell them there may have made a mistake… That way they wont be embarrassed in front of other staff & customers.
But seriously, this is probably one of those situations where the longer you leave it the more awkward you will feel about asking. I mean, go back a day later with a receipt and it's fine, but a month later without a receipt and it becomes questionable. Maybe give them a quick call and tell them you believe you have been shorted and if they could leave a message for tomorrows manager - that will give them time to do a final count and even find your short and gives them some notice of your intent so they don't think its somebody pulling the wool over their eyes and suddenly appearing the next day…
I do have a different take on OP, and that is that he has a bit of anxiety and by thoughtfully & quickly moving along for the next customer to be served he was in too much of a rush to check his change.
This. Instead of posting on Ozbargain, give the store a call.
What follow em home ( Stalker ) :)

Hi ilove, looking forward to your next post.
How to share a toilet simotaintanusly
Show the blue notes some 'ilove' and it'll be cheery again!
Go back to the store and ask that they perform a "spot check" of the till. They will count it in front of you and/or check the cameras to see if you were given the incorrect change. Mistakes happen. When I worked at Woolies any discrepancy at the end of the day over/under $2 was a big deal.
I am very curious as to how old you are op.
Call them today and they can spot check the register. They will know if they are over.
Are you sure you even went to Woolies? Was it a dream?
Too much green now feeling the blues…
Check your change next time. End of topic.
Woolies share price just rose $0.000001 thank you

The only thing you said that makes sense was the title.
Should have stopped there.
