Quote History Quoted:
That's crazy. I made it to my car and realized a small ticket item didn't get paid for. I was with my young son at the time and wanted to teach a lesson about doing the right thing even when you can get away with doing the wrong thing.
I walked all the way back into the store with my boy and walked to customer service. I told them I forgot to ring an item up. The lady there was taken back and made it a point to tell my son that dad is a good guy and is doing the right thing. She rang the item up, I paid, and all was good.
Another time, I got back to the store and was putting away groceries and realized I didn't have an item I thought I paid for. I called customer service to see if it was left behind. No one had seen it but they told me to come in and take a replacement item to CS and they would let me take it. I did, and got back. One of my sons had taken the item to his room. So I got back in my car, told CS what happened, went back and grabbed the item, scanned, paid and handed it back to CS.
I absolutely will not steal from anyone.
If they had me arrested me in either case, I would have gone fuckin' babnanas. I'd spend any amount of money to clear my name and teach a lesson.
Sometimes good deeds don't go unpunished, but FUCK the LP for arresting anyone for trying to do the right thing. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:Quoted: Yep, as much as it sucks lawyer up.
I've read about this happening, and the dumbest part is people that realize they missed an item and go back to pay for it are charged. I was told if you miss an item, and you feel guilty upon discovery that you missed the item just ring up the same item the next time you are there and leave the item behind but tell no-one what happened.

I did self checkout at home depot and forgot to ring up two orange carpenter's pencils. My youngest put them in the cart and they laid flat against the back of the orange cart. I just forgot them. He mentioned that I had forgot them as we were walking to my truck without even looking in the cart. Little dude has a great memory. So I AGAIN walked back into the store with all $0.40 worth of "stolen items" and stood in line/paid for them. I even told the self checkout lady I did it and she looked at me like "cool, but why bother?" It was another great teachable moment about never stealing and always being accountable for ones actions. This thread was on my mind when I did it. I can't imagine getting arrested for bringing unpaid merch back in with intent to pay.
