I am hoping that someone can answer a couple fo questions for me in regards to an incident today at Woolworths....
I did some grocery shopping and proceeded through the self-serve check out. I had a million things on my mind and just robotically did things....Scanning, paying...
Upon arrival at my car I checked my receipt and realised that some items I had placed in my bag and thought that I had scanned, had not been scanned. I went back into the supermarket (within 5-10 minutes of initial purchase) with unpaid items (about $18 in total) and paid for them. The employees thanked me and said nothing else. No ID or other information was taken. Although I guess they could 'track' the credit card that I paid with.
I have never, and I mean never (not even a speeding ticket) been dishonest. But this is playing heavily on my mind. Can there be any further action by Woolworths? If so, what?
Also, I am now wondering if there have been other occasions when I may have inadvertently not scanned and therefore not paid for grocery items. Can they follow this up? Ie, checking store footage and purchase history?
Thank you for your time.
