I swung into Coles at Melbourne Central for a couple things today, and after I payed I realised I forgot to get a bag. So I quickly grabbed one, put my items to the side and paid for the bag. Of course, just my luck that there's no fucking paper in the printer, so this turns into a whole scene. And that's the story of how I almost ended up in jail (until old mate Coles last came over and confirmed I did indeed pay for them and saved the day)
Yikes. What a nightmare.
If you scanned a rewards card tho there could have been a record of the purchase? And if done by eftpos I wonder how fast the transaction shows up on your bank app
Edit: They also should have checked the cameras :/
I did scan my flybuys card, but for some reason flybuys thingos don't show up on the app for about 24-36 hours after. I also paid by gift card, so no way to show the transactions
Coles lady pushed some buttons on her screen and reprinted the last 2 receipts from that machine and confirmed I did pay, though. But security bloke deffo didn't believe me (and tbf I can't blame him, it did look bad and I'm sure there's probably a lot of theft at the city stores, but he didn't even let me explain myself)
