Be dishonest
Self-service tills in supermarkets are brilliant ways of saving money.

The obvious one is to run stuff like red grapes through as the much cheaper green grapes.


Something you might not know is that the ones in Tesco will accept two vouchers for each transaction, no matter what they are for or how out of date they are. Scour any magazines you have lying around (women's magazines are best for this) and grab any vouchers that they have. tesco will always take them, as long as you don't try to use more than two.

I have never done this, not me, no never.

You can probably sue them for disability discrimination too.

We "processed" I guy where
I work the other week, and he had gone to the supermarket checkout with a widescreen tv and run it through the self-service as a quantity of carrots.

Not saying where I work, but this means that 1) he got caught, and 2) didn't get away with it
