Posted: 22:22 - 01 Feb 2019 Post subject: Guy puts PS4 through self checkout as fruit |
|
|
As initially reported in L'Est Républicain, a 19-year-old man was convicted on Jan. 24 for pretending a PlayStation 4 was produce at a supermarket in Monbeliard in eastern France. Easy mistake to make.
Only this man made the same mistake twice, which suggests it probably wasn't a mistake, but a nefarious plan to buy consoles at fruit-and-vegetable rates.
That's right, the man in question did this twice. Only the second time he was caught. Apparently he stole the consoles to help pay for a ticket back to Nice.
According to reports, he was sentenced to four months in jail.

Shouldn't be illegal. They agreed to sell the product at that rate. They could have withdrawn it from sale at the checkout but didn't do so. He agreed to buy a Playstation wrongly labelled as a fruit, both parties were happy with the transaction at point of sale.
Self service machine? Oh well that's the downside of automation |

Not come across a supermarket yet where you can bang a PS4 in the trolley to pay for it at your leisure. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

And again, I've still never seen a PS4 that you can stick in your trolley without paying for it immediately, in any supermarket. Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco's, etc.
By doing what he's doing, and misrepresenting what he's attempting to pay for, it's fraud, and no different to these 'asylum' seekers that aren't really 'asylum' seekers. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

You seem OK with the BBC claiming to sell impartial broadcasts which later turn out to be extremely biased though |

Wasn't there one with bananas a few years back?
Some supermarket was giving out reward points and someone worked out if they bought so many bananas they could profit from it.
I could be imagining it though |
