Nice as an extra £100 would be, I think I'd feel a bit guilty for potentially making someone lose their job!

Even if he returned the money, said cashier would still be shown as incompetent.

Still, we assume the cashier made the mistake. You sure you gave her £470?

99% sure. Yep.

if it was cash they will struggle to notice bit wehn they cash up at end of day they will be £100 out and this will cause a lot of grief for the branch staff

Yep, the bank will certainly notice the missing £100, but the trouble is tracking it to a specific customer. The cashier will be crapping herself soon.

True, wouldn't like to be in their shoes in either case.

Why not do the honest thing and phone them up, telling them you think they've made a mistake?

You can't think of any reason why he might not do that? Keep it you lucky sod.

I'll probably give it back mate to be honest, Its not a huge deal if it could cause the lady her job.

She won't lose her job unless it's happen before etc. In which case she deserves to

Keep it

Answering lowrider, my dad's a Area Manager. He had a member of staff whos till was something like £300-odd down! After a lengthy inquest he was just given a warning.

A few months after he didn't follow procceedure when opening in the morning (unlocking doors, going in to check no-ones in waiting etc) so then got sacked/resigned. Muppet

even if he does hand it back, that just means other people will be aware of what happens, she will still get disciplinary action. Regardless of whether you give it back, she still screwed up!

It would depend entirely on her previous record. If she's a good employee and this is her first mistake, I doubt it.

Jon Frost · 29 Oct 2007 at 15:14

Wow this has had some replies in like so many hits!

Something similar happened to me once. I wrote to my bank claiming £100 back from unautherised overdraft charges and they wrote back offering me £600, This was an abvious mistake on there behalf. 8 Months down the line i had a phone call saying the auditers picked up on the mistake and they wanted it back, i just said sorry ive spent it and she left me alone.

Bottom line, they will notice it but its a mistake on there behalf there not gunna sue your or anything to get it back.

Bony Maloney · 29 Oct 2007 at 15:15

If she's a looker take her out and wine her and dine her.

WarBird · 29 Oct 2007 at 15:15

you lucky herr, i wish they'd make more mistakes like that at my bank

leaskovski · 29 Oct 2007 at 15:16

Bank error in your favour. Collect £100

Thats not quite the same as cash being handed over and stuffed into a drawer though. In your case they owed you £100 and gave you £600. Audit trail.

Here though, Well I can't see one.
