Sainsbury's - Employee sacked for not paying for bags

[smevchenko]

Sainsbury's worker sacked for taking 'bags for life' without paying

The employee said he had pressed the "zero bags used" button accidentally when shopping.

So the worker spends £30 and doesn't pay for a few bags, then gets sacked after an employment tribunal.

You could argue that if he's 'stolen' some bags, maybe he's stolen other things blah blah blah, but sounds like a complete overreaction to me. I will take extra satisfaction the next time I 'forget' to scan something at their checkouts.

Stealing from the company that employs him. Completely fair to sack him.

At an employment tribunal Mr Doffou claimed that he was unfairly dismissed, but his appeal was unsuccessful.

He won but he lost, how did that happen?

I wouldn't worry too much if I were him, he'll get poached, Lidl'll be on the phone any minute

Sacked, went to tribunal, lost. Never won.

Robbing idiot.

i never pay for bags, think they are 30p each, if they dont want us to use plastic bags don't put any out.

A mate of mine who worked at sainsburys local during Uni used to damage the boxes of Stella so the cans would need to be sold loose and mark them down to about 10p a can. And when I bought cigs he would pretend to scan them and make the beeping noise with his mouth. Ended up being sacked for coming to work still off his head on pills from the night before, great days

I got sacked for putting my dick in the bacon slicer when I worked at Sainsbury's.

All worked out fine in the end though, I married her.
