Before we turn up with sweets to shop for items in tuskys, shouldn't they have devised a way of recording the "shillings owed" to you in their smart cards. This guys are revolutionarizing the sweets market and making a kill while at it. They do not even record that they'sold'you sweets in the receipts. -- with Regards: Kazi kwa vijana and other idiots, all at my blog: http://gramware.blogspot.com
I've seen the same in Uchumi. There match boxes are also given out. But at least they record that in the cash register. At least the times I've seen them do it. On 9/5/09, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

@Dennis I figured a long time ago that the best way to become a millionaire or get millions is to rob the whole world [or the public] a shilling here, a shilling there - you dont feel it , but they are ending up in the same place and translate to millions... banks and government institutions do it alot - they make killings on service commissions e.g fees, forms, processing fees etcetera one day, i will go to China for one mission [to become a billionaire] - all I want is just 1 shilling from each citizen :-)
that's so true ............if you sure wanna get rich fast (for that's as far as most African get the whites get wealth*daivd chappel* ) get a way of robbing a coin from the society in a way that it does not hurt. we used to buy 1pkt of sweets 100pcs of KSL at 50sh ....those sweets seem cheaper...............the smart card solution should be the most proper way of resolving that.yet again in the proprietor's perspective why shouldn't i buy time before i implement that[?] 2009/9/5 ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>

I heard from some doubtful sources the reason bank cashiers don't put on blazers while at work, is to prevent them from pocketing unsuspecting customer's cash. Concerning supermarkets making sweets legal tender, it is based on willing seller, willing buyer agreement, though an illegal undertaking! On 06/09/2009, david gathu <dtzgathum@gmail.com> wrote:

how come this has never happened to me at Nakumatt, but saw it happen to someone at Uchumi - It is high time this next happens to you, just tell them you want your money back since they can´t give you change, and let them return all the things in your basket to the shelves - then go shop somewhere there is change - we need to do this for these guyz to learn that this has to stop. ./Ok3ch On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 11:28 AM, Solomon Mburu <solo.mburu@gmail.com> wrote:

Those sweets are not worth the change you leave behind............. last time i shopped and got sweets, i kept the sweets and the receipt together. Next time i visited the same Tuskys, went to the same teller, when she tried patia me more sweets, i gave her back the sweets and the receipt from my previous shopping and asked for my complete change and got it :)
They make it legal tender, why should the exchange be one way? -- Believe: - To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe ----Anatole France
Quite ingenious! The other day I went shopping at one of Tuskys outlets and the cashier gave me extra change. I only noticed that after almost leaving the premises, and quickly returned the extra cash. When it comes to sweets, I only ask for Tropical Mints in lieu of coins. I wonder why they do not exchange chocolates with coins! On 08/09/2009, Tweety <wanjirunjoroge@gmail.com> wrote:

i just contacted them at www.magicpay.co.ke about debiting their smart cards with balance below 5 shillings. lets see if they read their mail, given the site is dated 2007.

Supermarkets have really taken this sweets thing a bit too far; Last week, I bought an item for 71/- and the cashier goes ahead to give me 25/- and 2 sweets! Refused to take them and asked him to do his rounding up-down Maths. I think that supermarkets should just label all their products in multiples of 5/- now that they are saying that they are experiencing a shortage of 1/- coins On Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 12:09 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

maybe we should make it official skunk policy to reject sweets. solutions exist (and i dont think they read their mail). lets pave the way for the rest to get their change... On 11/09/2009, m mugo <mugo2of3@gmail.com> wrote:
Supermarkets have really taken this sweets thing a bit too far; Last week, I bought an item for 71/- and the cashier goes ahead to give me 25/- and 2 sweets! Refused to take them and asked him to do his rounding up-down Maths.
I think that supermarkets should just label all their products in multiples of 5/- now that they are saying that they are experiencing a shortage of 1/- coins

i just contacted them at www.magicpay.co.ke about debiting their smart cards with balance below 5 shillings. lets see if they read their mail, given the site is dated 2007. Tweety above gave another suggestion, That of indicating balance remaining in their receipts and you can claim later with the receipt. My university mess uses such a simple and effective solution.

Quite ingenious! The other day I went shopping at one of Tuskys outlets and the cashier gave me extra change. I only noticed that after almost leaving the premises, and quickly returned the extra cash. When it comes to sweets, I only ask for Tropical Mints in lieu of coins. I wonder why they do not exchange chocolates with coins!

Those sweets are not worth the change you leave behind.............
last
time i shopped and got sweets, i kept the sweets and the receipt together. Next time i visited the same Tuskys, went to the same teller, when she tried patia me more sweets, i gave her back the sweets and the receipt from my previous shopping and asked for my complete change and got it :)
They make it legal tender, why should the exchange be one way?
