Come in please, trt ....

[mrs.chappie]

...... if you are still around.

I'm here mrs.chappie, whats the prob?

[mrs.chappie]

Ron, was it you I was chatting with about self-service tills a few months ago? (If you can remember that far back on here).

[trt]

Could have been, mrschappie, was i saying that I weighed mushrooms in as onions as they are cheaper?

[mrs.chappie]

Yes, summat like that, Ron.

I thought about you the other week. I was in Morrisons and a woman in front of me put two pomegranates on the scale. She pressed "onions" on the touchpad, but they were deffo pomegranates - it set off an alarm and an assistant came to help.

I chuckled as I did wonder if it'd been deliberate, but I also wondered how the scales knew they were pommies and not onions. They definitely looked similar. Do you think there is a way the scales can differentiate now? If not, why did an alarm sound ... what do you think?

[trt]

Never had that problem mrs.c, and cant see how the scales can tell the difference unless somebody was watching as she does it all the time.
I still do it every week and get a bit of a zing out of it, even though I can afford the real price.
I do it on the leeks as well as they are very expensive :-)

[mrs.chappie]

Perhaps so, Ron. It took a minute or so for anyone to come to her assistance though, so I don't think she was being watched. It was rather strange .... and they did look like onions too.

Have you ever done it in Morrisons?

[trt]

Haven't got a Morison's where I live in Suffolk, only a Tesco and Waitrose.

[mrs.chappie]

Anyhoo .... thanks for replying Ron.

Goodnight, sleep tight. x
