To me, that implies that you were still in the store, or maybe between the door and your car. That is why I constructed my hypothetical the way I did. <br /><br />If you actually meant, "After I got home," why did you say, "On the way out"? <br /><br />Also, I realize that one would normally assume that a duplicate charge was an inadvertent error. That's why I gave the guy a chance to correct it, and he intentionally chooses not to. Given that, do you think he is stealing from you? <br /><br />To make it better parallel the situation you now describe, suppose that he's trying to reconcile the books at the end of the day, and can't. He then examines the receipts for an amount that would explain the discrepancy and finds the duplicate charge on your bill. He remembers the transaction and knows that you didn't buy two of those items. He realizes that the scanner hiccuped and somehow scanned the thing twice. <br /><br />He has your customer info and can easily contact you if he chooses to. If he does not, then is he stealing from you?Rakewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15873391354585352712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-83327367545533453582011-12-28T21:21:07.131-05:002011-12-28T21:21:07.131-05:00JT you make a good point, but 2 wrongs do not make...JT you make a good point, but 2 wrongs do not make a right. it's been on my mind since it happened.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226640652091292377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-68796324284931411702011-12-28T20:49:50.793-05:002011-12-28T20:49:50.793-05:00If we're talking about the chain I'm think...If we're talking about the chain I'm thinking of, I can guarantee you from personal experience working for manufacturing company that they extort/steal a lot more from vendors than you ever could from a missed item or two.JT88Keyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030012435363552208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-21409632143034586402011-12-28T20:37:55.145-05:002011-12-28T20:37:55.145-05:00@lightning, of course he was calling me short.
@g...@lightning, of course he was calling me short.<br /><br />@grump, I didn't leave the store with an item I KNEW I didn't pay for. as I said, the total seemed less than I was anticipating. I bought a lot of presents and didn't realize one item wasn't rung in until I was checking the receipt afterwards. Now if I was charged twice for an item, would I think the sales person was STEALING from me? No. I would think he was making a mistake and I'd correct it, but no, I wouldn't think he was stealing. In my situation though, I should've brought it back and paid for it. Obviously this has been on my mind....enough so that I signed the gift tag "Josie and The Sales Lady".<br /><br />@my boy toy - you've hit the nail on the head.

The better question is, "How is that NOT stealing?" <br /><br />It obviously makes not one speck of difference whether the store is a national chain or a struggling family-owned business. <br /><br />Suppose it's the latter, and it's the owner who is ringing up your purchases that day, for whatever reason. He inadvertently charges you twice for some item. As you're walking away, his eye catches the duplication on his copy of the receipt. But rather than stopping you so that he can correct the error, he thinks, "Score! Free money!" and lets you go. <br /><br />Is he stealing from you? <br /><br />As long as your answer to that is "no," then go ahead and consider the answer to your question "no," too.
