Honest shopper thread!

Depends on the shop, but no.

If it was a cafe or something, then yes most likely.

Emlyn_Dewar · 29 Mar 2011 at 01:14

If I was 10 minutes away, no.
If I noticed straight away, or just as I was walking away, yes.

Independent store - Yes
Big Chain Store - No

No, it would cost me time and money to make my way back to the shop.

If you were given too much change in a shop......and you only realised maybe 10 minutes after you'd left the premises that they'd actually given you change for a £20 note instead of a tenner that you'd given them.......... now be honest with your answer, would you go back to the shop and give it back?

they have signs saying check all change before you leave the shop as they wont sort it after that, so no

Nope. They wouldn't do the same for you.

Exactly.

I hate messing up change for customers

Ladbrokes get really fussy about cash diff's... just like if you are early then "so what" (was half an hour early the other day) but 5 mins late and OMFG YOU ARE LATE AAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHBLERH!

Cosimo · 29 Mar 2011 at 07:44

Nope.

You sound like you've got some bells for managers.

Happened on a few occasions, if i've noticed at the till i have always rectified their mistake, if i noticed after i left the premises, i haven't bothered.

I would love to say yes I would, but I think this is probably what my attitude would be.

FNGsam · 29 Mar 2011 at 08:19

No.

I'd rather the tenner to be put towards travelling fund honestly or at least a few pints while I'm away.

This might be a bit of a diff situation though, if I was still there then my moral compass would probably win.

Marky · 29 Mar 2011 at 08:49

No - Purely because I'd then have to walk 10 minutes back the way I've come.

meghatronic · 29 Mar 2011 at 08:58

After 10 minutes I could be miles away? No chance. <1min most likely, yes.

Well,

Works both ways I guess

Agreed - it works both ways. If the casher could not be bothered to give me the right change or was silly, stupid, tired - drunk, etc. Then I can't be bothered to go give them to change back.

Just to throw a spanner in the works...

I once went to buy meat and drinks from my local supermarket - lady put all the items through and I paid and left. On the way home I noticed the meat was not on the list...and I paid for whatever was on the list only..thus, 1 x free packet of meat.

Would you go back and tell them?

I didn't.

steve-h · 29 Mar 2011 at 09:01

10 minutes? I'd be miles away.

... I'd like to say yes, but it depends on the store. Tesco, no. Butcher, yes.

edscdk · 29 Mar 2011 at 09:08

if it was a little shop I would give the money back, if it were a large chain id keep it.

cork-spotters · 29 Mar 2011 at 09:20

No, not unless I realised the mistake while still at the counter. Their loss. They wouldn't come looking for me if they accidentally overcharged me.
