Unintentional shoplifting?

[~StarBright~]

I would say her bad, not yours!!!!!! Maybe its a bit of good karma that came your way!!!!!

[Doing my best]

If she did it, I wouldn't feel as bad..

I had something similar when shopping at Christmas. If I had realised at the time, I would have said something, but I didn't realise till I was looking at the docket a few minutes later. The store was having large sales, so I didn't think anything of it until I was reading the receipt..

Yes it is wrong, but you didn't hide it, and it was there error.

Haha, totally agree with CM. Score

[Floweryfields]

I disagree with the score - I personally would have taken it back - as being a former shop assistant, I would definitely appreciate it. She might have given you a discount for being so honest.

We all make mistakes. What would've happened if you didn't give it another thought & threw the reciept in the bin?

Its up to you if you take it back, & with me it would depend on the sort of day I was having... If I was about to strangle a child I doubt I'd bother... I'd throw it in the car with the poo's with the assisstant for being so silly & drive home.

I scored a pair of undies & singlet in my size... the lady in front of me bought them, but the assistant put my stuff in the bag & the other lady walked away. I didn't know til an hour later when I got home... actually it probably would've been a few hours, but I couldn't afford to go the hour back to return them.

It still amounts to the offence of theft (in SA) unless it is returned, regardless of the belief you had at the time e.g that you had purchased the purse at the time.
