We have neighbours who take our parcels in, and vice-versa.

you may do, but the whole point of the shop having the amazon lockers is to increase sales by people coming in to the shop. if i had my parcel delivered to my neighbours, i wouldnt be in the shop to buy anything. or to be accused of shoplifting.

I just tried to find out where my nearest Amazon Locker is situated.
It directed me to a page where I have to send an email address and join Amazon!! Why can't I just enter my postcode and they can tell me from that? |

By:

No matter how you dress you can still be a shoplifter. you would be shocked if you knew the types of people who have been caught for shoplifting. 3 months ago a bank manager was arrested for nicking a packet of cheese valued at £2.74, It was his 1st shoplifting offence. So he was let off with a warning and banned from the store(he was very happy with that). But because he worked at a bank he had to be reported to the bank for what he had done. He lost his job the next day. What a silly man he was.

I thought you were a shoplifter when you tried to leave the shop with an item ?
|
|
By:
Whatever the circumstances there's only one remedy if you've been very obnoxious and that's to apologise.If you return to the shop and apologise i guarantee you'll feel a lot better about life.
|
|
By:
true. i just wondered if i went in and he wasnt there, then it may get him in to trouble. im guessing he didnt report it to his boss. not really gonna look good saying he falsely accused someone of shoplifting then he stormed out without buying the stuff he was gonna buy.
|
|
By:
he's probably at home sitting in a dark room, on full pay, listening to bird noises.
the shock of finding a box set of pink panther DVD's, on the person of an aggressive looking metal head, would be trauma enough for anyone |

"anyway, about 2 seconds later i hear a call saying "security aisle 4" or summat like that. i knew it was about me, nobody else in the shop. but i thought oh feck you, and carried on my shop and went looking for the crisps. this kid stops me and says can i look in your bag? i said no, no you cant. im pretty bloody stubborn and my first thoughts were let him get the police and i'll show the police whats in my bag to make him look a total lemon. but then for some reason the red mist decended and i went mental at him. swearing like a lunatic. by this time two of his mates had appeared, so i thought ok you can see whats in my bag. let your mates see what a prat youre being. i showed him and threw my amazon parcels on the floor, hope i havent broke them lol. hes apologising and offered to shake my hand and im just telling him to fook off. i then threw my basket of shopping on the floor and stormed out like a nazi stormtrooper." I'm sure we have spoke on here before many times before sideshowbob but I had no idea you were like that. You have to realise what a complete and utter you know what you were to behave like that to some youngster earning 8 quid an hour who was basically doing what he was told to do. I can only say your behaviour was absolutely odious. The kid even offered to apologise and you launched at him with a tirade of abuse. Is that really what you are all about? I truly suggest you get a reality check as that behaviour was beyond hideous. If you have any decency in your bones you will go back and sincerely apologies to the lad for your odious reaction. |

By:
I told him that last night.
He's still being "pretty bloody stubborn" You deserve to be banned from the shop. |
|
By:
To be fair, there are a lot of cocky lads around nowadays that call you mate and have no idea about customer service.
|

By:
Slippy - £8 an hour, minimum wage youth, you must be joking.
|
|
By:
8quid an hour aye rite! Lol

By:
like i care if im banned from the shop? really? wouldnt buy owt in there again anyway.
as i said before i only buy stuff in there cos i feel guilty picking up my amazon parcel then walking straight next door to sainsburys to buy food. the place is empty, nobody ever goes in there. 90% of the time i go to the checkout and theres no staff there to serve. i have to wait for someone to arrive from filling the shelves. anybody could just walk in, take what they want and walk out without any staff in sight. thats probably why i went overboard. |

By:
bob u seem to get into various sorts of diifficulties when u go to the shops.
Perhaps u should consider home deliveries in future |
|
By:
basically SSB, I think you (over)reacted because of the regular prejudicial reaction to how you choose to dress / look. You have said as much before.
In a way I can't blame you. people do tend to judge. But life is life. People pigeon hole to make the processing of information easier. And many of us have our cross to bear when it comes to people judging us. |

to put it in to some context, the lockers are at the end of the shop.
i got one parcel out of the locker. put it in my basket. i got a second parcel out of the locker. put it in my basket. i turned round to where there is a side bit where people can sit down. i put my basket on the side about 5ft high. i put my bag on the side too. i opened my bag, took one of the parcels and put it in my bag. did the same with the second parcel. then zipped up my bag. all of this clearly in plain view of the cctv. its not like i was hiding what i was doing in any way at all. the guy who saw me, must have saw me do it on the cctv cos he appeared from the other side of the store. if he only caught the back end of what i was doing, it still doesnt take a rocket surgeon to figure out that i was probably putting something in my bag that i had taken out of the lockers. bearing in mind the lockers are at the far side pf the store, past the checkouts. no reason to go there unless you are using the lockers. |
|
By:
quite dreadful behaviour.
|
|
By:
i do get annoyed by that i admit. drives me mental. its not so bad where i live cos its fairly posh and everybody is different so dont usually judge. but when i go to poorer areas or the city centre everybody treats me like im a beggar. they probably do to most people, im just not used to it i dunno.

 Bob you`re too sensitive, remember its every Englishmans right to sleep on the streets should he wish. |
|
By:
lol. havent you got a trophy to be masturbating over? a novelty i know...
i regret not keeping cool and being a bit dirty harry about it. how sure are you now that ive got stolen goods in my bag? ive got 50 notes here that says youre chicken. do you feel lucky? well do ya, punk? |

By:

Perhaps thieves have been putting the goods in lockers out of sight of the staff, and other people come and pick it up. |
|
By:
It is nice to look like a tramp, and have lots of money...thats my ambition.
|
|
By:
cant do, cos the lockers are all shut. you get a code specific to your parcel. put in the code then the locker with your parcel opens. its dead cool. then you take it out and shut the locker. im pretty sure the locker wont work again once youve used the code. the code is different every time.
|
|
By:
I should think a thief would know that, and leave the door ajar for his mate to collect stuff.
And if it gets nicked by somebody else, it hasn't cost him anything. |

hmm i guess so. ive never seen a locker ajar when ive been in though. and id notice, cos they have a spring lock. you have to push them right in or they dont lock.

As Pugmunter has stated if its not the Self service tills its the staff,if not the staff its the choice of food or the prices.As someone who has worked in retail you obviously have issues and take great delight in abusing all and sundry,does it make you feel good about yourself?You sir are pond life.
