Last night, I bought a salad at a deli. When I bought my lunch about half an hour ago, I realized that the girl who rang me up last night must have given me too much change back. The salad was about $8, I paid with a 10 and she must have given me a 20 and a 1 back ??? .
If this was just a place within a few block radius, I'd just swing by during my break and give the money back. However, I live and work in midtown manhattan and the deli was in a part of the city called fidi, which is about 20 min away. So, part of me is trying to convince myself that shit happens, I overpay sometimes, sometimes I come out ahead, this wasn't something I planned or wanted, everyone will live. Of course, this young lady's job could be in jeopardy because her register wasn't reconciled appropriately. On the other hand,if I go down there and explain what happened I might get her into even more trouble. Or she might already have lost her job.
What would you do, getburgers? Forget about it or go back.

only fags buy salad at delis, go get a pizza next time.

It's obviously weighing on your conscience. Do yourself a favor and go back and return the ten bucks. Whether or not the cashier got in trouble for her screwup isn't your problem--you're not doing it for her, you're doing it for you. It's only $10 but you'll feel better and you'll sleep better at night. Maybe that seems silly, but, call me crazy, that's what I would do.

he could do that.
or start another thread about it.

Hi dj, are you going to share your love for black cock in every fucking thread you post in?

Just call them. Tell them what happened and say when you’re in the area you’ll return the money. This way the chick doesn’t lose her job and you look like a fucking hero to them.

Why did the bitch think you paid with $30? Her fault. You reap the rewards.

Test 'em. Call them and say you got short changed. If they tell you to fuck off then keep it.

Haha. Good one. See if the owner is even deserving.

Beat me to it. That's what I'd do, followed by dropping the money off the next day when I was back there for lunch. People make mistakes, and who knows, she may lose her job for it. At the least she will have to come up with the short till money.
Do the right thing Al. You've got kids, how would you want them to act? :-\
-
When they counted out the registered at the end of the day she probably had to put her own money in to correct the short. Drop by and give her the money.
I was heading to a football game and wanted sandwiches for the tail gate with the wife. We ordered a bunch of stuff and walked out. I thought she paid and she thought I paid. Driving down the road about a mile away I asked her what the bill was and she said," How would I know you paid." I made a u turn and went into the deli and explained what happened. They didn't have a clue we didn't pay. The three people behind the counter thought the other rang out the stuff.

Customer service is dead dead dead. Cashiers don't even count your change back to you anymore- they just say the amount they are giving you and then hand you the money. F that.
It's completely their own lazy fault if they give you too much change. Never give it back.

You waited pass her shift ?

So. now that this thread is basically dead, here's full disclosure. Before I posted this, I called the deli and offered to make a wireless payment or just order something through seamless that they didn't have to deliver. The guy I spoke to acted confused and then put a lady with an asian accent on the phone. She started asking me somewhat detailed questions about the transaction and it started to dawn on me that she wasn't trying to work out a payment, she was determining whether the cashier was at fault. I started to clam up and she just thanked me and told me not to worry about the money.
After the phone call ended, I went out to this communal work area we have in my office. There were about 6 people working in there. I told them that I think I just got somebody fired. I relayed the story a lot like the first post in this thread and ALL of them said that in this situation, it probably would have been better (for the cashier)to just forget about it. In NYC at least, she wouldn't have had to repay the money and most stores with high volume have a reasonable tolerance for unbalanced registers. Everyone seemed to agree that the fact that I spoke to what may have been a manager and basically verified that she made a rather stupid mistake probably sealed her fate. :-[
I felt horrible about what might have happened, but I really don't think anyone would have come to that conclusion if they didn't know how the story turned out. I don't think my co-workers were trying to make me feel bad, but I don't think most people would think there was a possibility the cashier would be in more trouble if you returned the money. And no one in this thread suggested that was a possibility and the voting far and away says that the money should have been returned. I don't necessarily feel better about it, but I was wondering if it was unreasonable on my part not to see that coming.

Not unreasonable. They just as easy could have been wondering if a cashier "stole" the money and would have been relieved to hear it.
You tried to do a good thing.
I wouldn't beat yourself up over it.

is this tard thread about $20?

Some of the group of co-workers have worked in retail before. (I have in college, too, but I was never a manager.) Drawers come up short pretty frequently because registers are susceptible to confusion scams. A lot of stores have a set tolerance for daily imbalances. That's one of the reasons they say it was probably worse to confirm that the employee just made a stupid mistake.

Hey, it could be worse. I could be posting in some farcical hybrid of eastern-European baby talk and pig latin that no longer serves a purpose and varies so greatly from post to post that I'm not even pretending it's not fake anymore.

You did her a favor. I'm sure her aspiration in life wasn't to be a deli cashier.

I once received a double payment from an insurance company after a car wreck. Dupe payments occurred about 4 months apart. We called insurance and were told "well we can't ask for or take the money back that has been issued so looks like you got a little extra." Now since they goofed on a significant billing error from that same situation that we contested and justified yet they wouldn't budge on to correct voluntarily it appears we were compensated for our loss involuntarily.

A man of God would have donated the free money given by the insurance. You chose to keep it like a heathen. You will be judged.
