Ok. hypothetical question here..............![]()
You're checking out at the store and the cashier rings up the wrong price for your items. You have 4 items that cost $15.99 each and the cashier somehow rings up only $8.99 for each item. You wonder why the price is so low and when you look at the receipt you notice the error.
So what do you do?
1. You immediately tell the cashier that she made a mistake and pay the difference.
2. You hurry and run out of the store before the cashier recognizes the problem and calls you back, get in your vehicle and speed off.
3. You go back in the store and spend the extra $28.00 that the cashier has "gifted" you due to the oversight.
4. You go back in the store and give the cashier a $5.00 tip and keep the remaining $23.00 for yourself.

#1 coming from a management perspective. I have had to audit employees for theft and have found mistakes like that that are a fireable offense. Sometimes they are honest mistakes and only require a talking to and others are stealing from the job for friends and family. Some managers are not so nice about an honest mistake so I always let them know if they charged me wrong or gave me too much change back. You wouldn't want someone to loose their job when it is so hard to get one.
