Default madness - who does not understand what "10 items or less" means?

BBC NEWS | Business | Tesco checks out wording change



Tesco is to change the wording of signs on its fast-track checkouts to avoid any linguistic dispute. The supermarket giant is to replace its current "10 items or less" notices with signs saying "Up to 10 items".

Ah, it's the post that gets the infraction, not every post by the infracted IYGWIM ('cos I don't).

As much as I don't like the whole 10 items or less thing, I really can't understand why they need to re-word it. It is fairly simple, even for stupid people to understand what that actually means.

Justifying some people's jobs I think. Take it from me, working in retail, this crap goes on all the time.

What's pissing me off, is I can't infract him. I owe him one as well, and now would be a perfect time to get him back.

To this day, I haven't infracted anyone except the **** spammers who appear in the Scoobynet Live Forum overnight. I find it a little sad really. Having said that, I've just spent five minutes voting all Tam's recent post positive

p.s. - maybe you don't know this, but it only takes about 5 seconds with the right software to find out who you are. I have the right software and at lunchtime time tomorrow I might just decide to let the Scoobynet Massive know what a retard you really are...... then again - I might spend a few days making you show yourself to be the **** that you are, but I think you might just do that for me

I think a couple of the infractions were for deliberate abuse of the swear filter. If you remember back to February last year, I was banned for this. Basically I deliberatley changed a couple of the letters in cvnt a different colour to bypass the swear filter, the same as what Tam has done. So that is my guess as to why he has (or should have recieved) infractions.

For the record FB, feel free to 'check me out' if you wanted to mate, I've only just seen the thread so couldn't have zapped Tambob. Also, after apologising to webby, I was reinstated. Was a thread in policy I think where a few members revolted against my ban.

So in a sentance I'd have thought breaking a T & C of the site, (more than once) has got him banned. He could say 'retard', 'spaccer' or whatever a 1,000 times, but once you edit your post and change a couple of letters colour etc and fiddle about with it, like me, you leave yourself wide open.

Bit ****, but thats how it is
