What do do when you find a damaged item when in line at the supermarket

[capslock 176]

Suppose you are at Aldi's, only one register is open, there are parties ahead and behind you, everyone is in a rush and you find one item is damaged but not in danger of spoiling or ruining anything else.

I give up, what happens when you are at Aldi's, only one register is open, there are parties ahead and behind you, everyone is in a rush and you find one item is damaged but not in danger of spoiling or ruining anything else?

Normally the cashier should notice the problem and ask if you would like to go and get a replacement...

Normal people with a voice would tell the cashier.

I wanna shop at your store!  Twice recently I got to the Kasse only to realize my item was leaking (one was boxed kondensmilch, the other was Spülmittel).  Not only did the cashiers *not* notice, they did not care one bit, and I actually got into a nasty argument with the kondensmilch cashier, who blamed me for picking up an item that was next to a damaged item, claimed it wasn't leaking, and yelled at me for getting her kassenband dirty.  The Spülmittel lady hardly saw what the problem was with me buying and transporting a leaking ass bottle of soap with my groceries, but there was at least no fight, and she grudgingly consented to let me select a different bottle after ringing up the rest of my items.

 

Good old servicewüste Berlin.

Hint, you may tick more than one box for what you think is acceptable behavior.

In future, you check all items thoroughly before putting them in your cart. You can do this by feeling, looking and licking them

What about checking the cash receipt? I checked it today and noticed my avocado was charged €2,79 instead of €0,99 since it was on sale. I observed that I'm one of few customers checking the receipt. Old school. I got the €1,80 back.

@ff: oh god, imagine!  I already more or less punt my items into the cart and it takes a year to do my weekly shop.  I do check stuff with safety seals sometimes though.

[fraufruit 35,800]

I push my cart away a little and check the receipt. Well, back when I used to shop. Impossible to check what they're ringing up while loading cart.

I used to check the receipt religiously, but since corona, all I want is OUT. OF. THERE.  So many carts.  So much mask.  Aaagh.  Keep my money, just get me the fuck outta here.

I have got in to a routine of checking all fruit etc  as much as I can for mold, damage etc.

We also check pretty much everything to make sure it's ok as it's such a hassle to sort it afterwards. Even though everyone in the queue knows it's not our fault etc, it is still holding people up.

Dessa, bless your heart. Will explain later...

Accept responsibility. It was your fault. This has never happened to me. Very German of you to put the responsibility onto someone else. Grow up!

WTF are you on about?

[McDee 382]

What a lovely comment. It was a joke that obviously went above your head haha.

[john g. 33,778]

I am never sure these days if a cookie is someone I can eat or give permission to when I click onto a website.😂😩
