Things were a bit busy in the stores, and relatively speaking the kids were about as good and cooperative as an almost 2 1/2 year old and a 4 1/2 year old can be while out shopping with them close to nap time  I was buying multiple things at each store that we went to and will readily admit that I was paying more attention to keeping my kids in sight than the credit card receipts I was signing.
Sunday AM, I'm going over the receipts, and it turns out that at both REI where I bought 2 pairs of kids hiking boots and 3 pairs of kids hiking socks that they didn't charge me for 2 pairs of the hiking socks (and I know that the guy at the register saw them and placed them into the bag) and then at Golfer's warehouse where I bought a golf shirt and some golf balls for my mother, the girls at the register didn't charge me for the shirt, even though once again she placed it in the bag!
I feel guilty even though it was their error at both stores, and frankly had my kids not been there I would have been paying attention to the credit card receipts and pointed their errors out to them.
What would you do?? |
You mean you really had to ask if you should do the right thing?? You're suppose to pay attention at the register. Would it be an ethical dilema if you discovered in the parking lot that the cashier gave you too much change back? If it is a long trip or you got to go out of your way i would settle up the next time you was there..
