    Went to the local mega dept store to buy 10 gals of T6 for a oil change. Got four 2 1/2 gallons jugs and 1 one gallon jug that’s all that was in the carriage. Go to check out and put one 2 1/2 gallon jug and the 1 gallon jug on the belt for the cashier.

    Tell the cashier I got 4 of these pointing to the 2 1/2 gallon jug and 1 of these pointing to the 1 gallon jug.. She says ok....

    Go to put my card in and the total is $85 something.....,

    $155 something error in my favor. She only rang up one 2 1/2 gallon jug and the 1 gallon jug. I didn’t correct her......

    I do feel a little guilty....

    Would you have corrected her....?

    P.S. I got no use for this retailer either
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Depends on how much you value your own integrity.
    With me it's always a top priority.

    You are at one of the proverbial forks in the road of life..

    When I was a teenager, I orchestrated several large liquor store heists: case upon case of beer out the back door to one or more waiting accomplices.

    When I was in my early twenties I started feeling bad about it and other misdeeds so I made a list of people I ripped off, saved some money and paid everybody back with an anonymous note and some cash. No big explanation needed.

    Look guys I gave up trying to correct anyone - some don't like it when you catch their mistakes.

    I had one this morning at Walmart who rang up 10 cans of cat food and not 20 that I bought, I told her and she said to me "look do I tell you how to do your job ... NOPE I don't so don't tell me my job. She went on and put it all in the bag, then went on to counting other items and just charged me with miscounts on everything, so what am I supposed to do, go and complain?

    Oh by the way, I don't know if you have the rebates for Shell but they were running a promotion till the end of the year with some money back on every purchase you make of t-4 through t-6 oil.

    Dude, you got to go back and let her know.....she may lose her job over that. You can't screw around with people's way of earning a living. We gripe about that everyday on here
     
    Lab work, Coover, TallJoe and 3 others Thank this.
