Cashier forgot to charge me for $64 of merchandise. What to do? I need advise :(
I went to Kohl's last weekend because they had great sales and I had coupons and cash back totaling $45. I bought some Halloween decorations, several pants and a jacket for my 4-year old, a shirt for my husband, and those ultra comfy go walk shoes from Skechers ($64). I usually don't buy expensive stuff but I walk a lot and can't handle uncomfortable shoes.
Checking out, my total was about $50 and the cashier told me that I saved $140. I was elated. However, by the time I got home, I sensed something wasn't right. I looked at the receipt and she forgot to scan the shoes.
I wanted to go back but then I thought they might fire her for that oversight. I didn't want that. I still feel guilty for essentially stealing.
What would you do in that situation?
No replies yet.
Here's me prediction:
9 out of 10 DUmmies will say that she should take em back.
9 out of 10 DUmmies only say that publically but would keep em
-
Bouncy.
1) The cashier can't get "fired" for something that is not known.
2) DUmmies lie. All the time.
3) DUmmies have an entitlement mentality -- if the shoes weren't rung up it is destiny's bequeath.

10. Thanks for all of the good advice.
I agree, I will definitely go back and pay for them. I was feeling really bad ever since.
I am worried that once they know my name and have my debit card number, they could trace the cashier that checked me out. Maybe I should get some cash and pay for it without them knowing my name. The last thing I want is someone to get fired ... but I want to pay for the stuff I got.
Again, thanks. I'll try to find a way to pay for it without jeopardizing her job
Not a chance in hell. This is a DUmp democrat.

The cashier is a woman, more than likely a minority. I'm sure if the cashier was a white male, the Dummy wouldn't give a flying **** about getting him fired, but would still keep the shoes and not pay for them.

7. I could live with my conscience knowing it was an honest mistake on both parts...
.... and move on with my life.
I wouldn't bother going back.
Your time is worth something too. In my mind, worth more than a return trip.
I could be biased because I just spent 4 hours Saturday in a Sprint store straightening out an account problem created by the Sprint rep's mistake when I upgraded a phone 2 weeks ago (spent 4 hours on that Saturday also).
I suspect that they all think this way.
11. Thank you
that is what my husband said. However, I still feel bad about owning something that I didn't pay for.
I know that they add $$$ to every item because of people stealing stuff. I love those shoes and every step I am taking, they are saying "you didn't pay for us"
It was a mistake on both parts ... I should have checked the receipt before I left the store. But NOW that I know that I didn't pay for them, there is no way around it.
Almost fell out of my chair.

Take it back and tell them. Geez. Why do you have to ask? If you don't take them back then your technically are a shoplifter. But I am sure your DU friends will say Kohl's makes plenty of money and what's $64.
I have had stuff like that happen and man do I rush that stuff back, karma is a bitch and she always gets back at me.

How about buying health insurance using a subsidy? Does it make you "feel bad" that others have to pay more to make up for your monthly premium?
I doubt it.

In other words, there's no way in hell a DUmpmonkey democrat will return something she shoplifted.
She just tells the DUmp repeatedly how she feels badly about stealing the shoes.
Poor thing. Martyred by her own thievery.

Next will be the bouncy about her returning them. You know it's coming. you can see through a DUmmy like a sheet of glass.

Poll option:
Go back and try for another pair

It won't be a full return. It will just be an attempt that gets short circuited by circumstances beyond their control.

Exactly Gina... WTH is there a thread on the internet about this? This just shows how morally incomplete these people are. I know what she wanted was everyone to say keep them so she wouldn't "feel" bad about it. This DUmmy if she does have some sort of conscience might not be completely gone yet, but she is on the fence.
See in a Socialist society you wouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing, not because there wouldn't be money as you DUmmies think, but because they would have shot you for taking the shoes and the cashier for making the mistake. Thus making a statement for less future mistakes. Not to mention the shoes would have been $8,764 dollars because the $ wouldn't be worth the toilet paper you wipe your ass with.

HA! No WAS stealing. This woman saw it not being scanned and got all giddy about her score at the store and could not wait to tell someone. Then relized she would look bad to her DUmmy pals so made up this B.S. even though most if not all would do the same.

29. return and pay for the shoes...
…just my two cents… if you don't, you ARE responsible "for essentially stealing"… who am I to judge though??
Who are you to judge? Your fellow DUmbass stole a pair of shoes.
It is clearly thievery.
Any normal, civilized, moral human being is in a position to judge an admitted thief.
Actually, I guess that does exempt democrats.
Never mind.

Shoplifting is at all time high. People are getting desperate. I hate when parents use their children, as an excuse. In produce, they will pick up a piece of fruit, that is normally priced by the pound, and give it to their child. At the register, the parent tells the cashier, that the child wanted a peach and it was only 50 cents, when weighed. That is not the issue, the company is losing money, when a product cannot be weighed properly. FEED YOUR CHILD BEFORE GOING SHOPPING!! :thatsright:
-
Oh it's easy. If it's a red company, keep them because it's a penny or two the Rethuglican capitalist whores won't be donating to Rethuglican candidates. If it's a blue company, keep them because you just know such compassionate people would want others to have a much-deserved free pair of shoes from time to time. It's a win-win for DUmmies.
Seriously though, if you're an alleged adult and you feel the need to consult a morally bankrupt group of heathens like DU about a dilemma that most pre-pubescent children can figure the right and wrong of, you've got problems that go way beyond a pair of unpaid for shoes.
-
Note to Star Member tandot (6,338 posts) and/or any other lurking DUmmies.
Do you or even *can* you make decisions without consulting other DUmmies. You know what you should do. Take them back. Pay for them. The democrat principle of redistribution of assets should not include the shoes you steal.
-
NEXT....I robbed the bank so a teller wouldn't get fired.

I used the nadin to search for Skechers Go Walk shoes just so I could see what kind of shoes a DUmmy might wear . I would call them hideous. They look like something a little trailer park rugrat might wear.

Myself, I would probably never have noticed that the receipt was wrong unless there was a problem with the shoes and I needed to take them back.
p.s. I see that Kohls now has them on sale for ~$40.00, if that helps to ease the DUmmy's conscience.

Well, DUmmy tandot, she probably didn't scan the shoes because they were in that big inside pocket of your coat.
You know, the same one you use to carry meat out of the grocery store.
DUmmy tandot reminds me of that democrat mental giant up in Minnesota who bragged to the DUmp about shoplifting at the WalMart where he worked.

55. * update 2 - change of plans - will donate money to a good cause *
After emailing Kohl's and explaining very clearly what happened and that I would like to pay for the item that the cashier forgot to scan, I got one of those form emails. They apologized that I am unhappy about the item I purchased and that they have a "No Question Asked - Hassle Free" return policy, and to just return the item for a refund or exchange it for another one.
So, their "customer service" didn't even read the email. Maybe they have a computer program that scans the emails for certain words and then automatically sends what it deems the appropriate form email back to the customer. Or maybe they just outsource the customer service to a foreign country and have people there who barely read/speak English.
Kohl's is a pretty big corporation and their response shows that they don't need my money.
So, I'll donate it to a local homeless shelter.

It's rare for even a DUmmy to admit a theft in such detail.
Even Doug only admitted to "hiding" the TV remote.
-
Stupid reason to not come forward to not get a clerk fired.
-
It would be a significant public service if anyone could identify DUmmy tandot in the real world, and her nearest Kohl's department store.
A lot of future theft might be prevented.
It might even be possible to follow the name further and generate a wallduding, since most employers frown on thievery among their employees.
The investigative capabilities here never cease to amaze, and they've always been used to advance truth, justice, and the American way.
DUmmy tandot deserves a bad experience every bit as much as Doug and Eva.

Oh, coincidence, how you love to tickle my funny bone.
What are the odds of two DUmmies running into each other at the same store with the same story? :rofl:

Ouch.

If I were DUmmy tandot, I'd be very worried about being identified. Very worried.
The decent and civilized innertube sleuths have a high batting average.
Ask Doug Bulna or Eva Gage.
A TV remote, fictitious earwigs, a second-rate pair of gym shoes.
It's amazing, the trivial things that DUmpmonkeys will risk so much over.
Their genetic democrat dishonesty just gets the better of them.

Exactly. I don't think I have ever not seen a customer watch the register to make sure they are getting their "deals".

83. * update #3* This was very interesting
Again, I really appreciate ALL the posts I've gotten. The ranged from "windfall" to "how dare you not paying for the shoes" ...
I am not going to respond to each of your posts, put I learned a good lesson.
I went back to Kohl's today with the empty shoe box to pay for my purchase. The customer service clerk was very surprised and happy. While she was scanning in the bar code on the shoe box, she said that she'll give me 25% off. So, I paid
Price of the shoes: $64.99
minus 25% = $16.25
Plus Tax = $3.90
Total $52.64
On top of that, I got $10 cash back (for every $50 purchased) that I can cash when I make my next purchase. The whole transaction took less than two minutes ... no questions asked. I doubt they'll investigate which cashier was on duty and forgot to scan the item.
Also, I donated $100 to
Family Promise of Sacramento
donate@sacfamilypromise.org

Most of the homeless shelters are run by religious organizations. I didn't have a lot of choices. However, they have a range of "guest churches" that help feed the needy:
Host Congregations
Bethany Presbyterian
B’Nai Israe
Calvary Lutheran
Carmichael Presbyterian
Beth Shalom
Faith Presbyterian
First UMC
Fremont Presbyterian
Grace Lutheran
Rancho Cordova UMC
St. Anthony’s Catholic
St. Mark’s UMC
St. Johns Lutheran
Sierra Arden United Church of Christ
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral
Unitarian Universalist Society
Since Unitarian Universalist Sociaty was one of them, I think it was the best choice.
I'll probably not be able to check in for a couple of days. I can't express how much appreciate all of the replies. Thank YOU!
Not a single reply about who feeds the hungry. To a democrat, benevolence is just another word.
Anyway, she said she took care of her thievery. I don't believe it. For one thing, democrats don't donate money to charity. They donate other people's money.

Coach should set up a bouncy of the year award, if he hasn't already.

She had to be told to return to the store to make up for the mistake? Something not ringing up does happen from time to time. Something getting missed by the clerk and the customer in the bottom of the buggy happens as well.
I had a can of coffee get lost in the bottom of the cart once just as the store closed once. I had to get the security guard to let me back in and then find a clerk (actually manager) to ring it up. They were surprised. They know that happens but almost nobody comes back in. The area is overrun with government employees.

The definition of a DUmbass is anyone who believes that lie.
DUmmy tandot was getting nervous that someone would track down her real-world identity and set the walldude bandwagon in motion.
This latest lie is an attempt to avoid becoming the new Doug Bulna.

Funny we don't hear stories like that from the DUers, though.
I took my daughter out for some retail therapy on Sunday. As we were browsing the shoe isle in Target, she happened to notice that there was a gift card for $20 sitting next to a box of shoes. No one else was around.
First words out of her mouth? "Mommy, I'm going to return this to the Customer Service desk." I've raised her right so far, thank goodness.
But then I read the screeds of all these moochers and users, and it makes me ill.
-
I agree, you don't hear those "return for not paying" stories. I get ticked if I am not rung up because that means I have to go back in and stand in line. I have, however, a few times found something that wasn't paid for and I didn't go immediately back in, ususally when it's a really busy day. But I do ask the cashier to ring up the item and then put it back in the return bin behind her and tell her why I am doing it. Karma is very bad and it always gets me. I don't dare.

I ordered one copy of Rush Limbaugh's new book Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims from amazon.com. Two copies came in the mail. I checked my amazon.com account to confirm that I only paid for one--which was the case--and then I forgot about it until now. I am not going to go through the bother of sending back a ~$10.00 book. Rush deserves to be paid for his work, but I'm not going to waste any of my leisure time fixing someone else's $10.00 screwup. Sorry Rush. But no apologies to my fellow cavers for not seeking their advice on how to handle this matter.
-
Not sure what I would do, as I can't remember an occasion when it's happened before. I think it would depend on how much it cost and how far I would have to go to return it.
I know there have been dozens of times I picked up something marked on sale, only to find it wasn't when I rang out and there have been times at the market, where I was charged for an item, but for some reason never got home with it. :???:

H5 for you! I own that exact pair of shoes and they are outrageously comfortable! Unlike the DUmmy, I paid for them without all the drama. Honestly, they aren't the prettiest shoes but at this point in my life, I choose comfort over fashion any day.
P.S. I'm not a trailer park rugrat, either.
