Store forgot to charge me for three items I purchased

I took them back and paid what I owed. They were rather surprised and the clerk told me that hardly ever happens☺️

Good for you! That's the right thing to do.

@gellen good for you for doing the right thing!

I also had a simular type of experience recently

... I went to CS to return an item... the clerk gave me cash back... and $20.00 too much... when I got to the car and counted it I realized she had given me too much back I went back in and told her... she really appreciated it. I knew at the end of the day the bank in her cash drawer would be short... mistakes happen both ways. If I had been given too little cash I would expect it to be adjusted just the same. It works both ways to be HONEST.

I would have felt guilty otherwise.😬

A couple of years ago after a trip to Safeway I was unloading my car and found a box of Morton's salt I had forgotten to put on the belt and didn't pay for. Due to using a cane, arthritic knees and a back that often bothers me, I didn't have the energy to go back into the store.

But a few days later I returned and told CS what happened. I've shopped there for 12 yeas and they know me but were surprised I'd return to pay for a "little" thing like salt. I told them as we all know that not paying for things causes prices to go up.

I think most people are pretty honest when it comes to this. At least, I hope so.

it may not make a big difference with all the theft that goes on today.... sadly... but if it makes us feel better for doing it, that is the payoff....

I have done the same. It's how we were raised and lived so it comes naturally for us. I thank my mother for my honesty as she instilled the importance of being honest and true as I grew up. Good for you @gellen .
