When I got home, I noticed that the receipt showed that the cashier had only charged me for one of the sets. I did not notice if she put both under the scanner so I don't know if it is a misread or an error on the part of the cashier.
There was a woman in front of me who caused her nearly a half hour of grief over coupons and sale prices, so she was a little distracted when she got to me. I don't want her to lose her job, but I feel the need to call and tell them that I was not charged for all my items.
It is only a $20 DVD but I feel a twinge on honesty. I would love to have the opinion of your readers.
Should I tell you?
If not: Why not?
Regards,
What would you do if you found out they had charged you twice for it?
The same resulting action should apply if you found out they did not charge you at all.
You wouldnt be asking this if you didnt already know the answer.
Sue them for emotional distress related to having a bad conscience.
Just wow - this should be automatic. Sad.
Chris you shoplifter!
Get back there and do the right thing. (probably an ignorant atheist)
I wouldn’t because half the time I go to like Walmart they bag my purchases but fail to give me all my bags, yes and from what I hear they have it happening VERY often, and they just restock the items if the buyer doesn’t come back asking why they were a bag short.
If I was REALLY paranoid I would be thinking along the lines that the employees of these big box stores are encouraged to be less observant of if all the bags are given to the buyers.
It happens to me at least one out of ten times.
Good answer.
I always watch for errors on ‘either’ side. Just the right thing to do.
If you didn’t pay, it isn’t yours.
Go back and either return it or pay for it.
Ah, come on now, atheists have “ethics”!
They’re not based on anything, so can change as the situation changes, but they have them!
Was the cashier nice? I would only mention it if I liked the cashier. Some of those cashiers need to be fired.
DITTO!

Go back and pay it. GOD is watching you. While your at it give to those that can’t afford any of it.
In regards to my comment, yes I would be guilty but for some reason when it happens from a big box store I could care less, but at a smaller mom and pop store, NO WAY!
I have been given excess change many times, never kept it, especially from my bank, in a small town its better to have respect for those that may lose their jobs because of something like this.
maybe there was a sale you were not aware of like buy one get one free.
Of course. But only when you were passing anyway. You shouldn’t have to go out of your way because of their mistake.
