If you work for free, you're bound to make mistakes. Sometimes a pound of fish might get rung up as a pound of oranges.

I bought a potato yesterday that should have cost 79p but it only rang me up for 30p as the scale was broken. I'm a proper little criminal me.

Nothing tastes better than ever so slightly erroneously discounted potatoes.

I don't see a problem with that
