Girl rings up the wrong sandwich. Then realizes her mistake and comes to the table for the extra $1.25. Do you pay it? If we would've went take out, she's SOL anyways. Eta: there were four of us, and it was my coworkers sammich |

If she's polite and apologetic and it really is the case that you got the pricier sammich, I'd pay her the additional $. After all, she's not trying to cheat you.
If she's got any attitude at all toward you like you somehow did something wrong, I'd tell her, "sorry... your problem" and walk out. |

If sandwich consumption has been initated, yes. The worker missed it. The consumer missed it. The time for negotiation has passed. Pay up for what you are eating. If the sammich is unmolested, exclaim you are shocked, SHOCKED that you received the incorrect product. Request the correct one. Resume lunch. |

They offered a product at a given price.
You agreed to purchase that product at that price. You paid them more than the agreed amount, and they gave you back too much money. There was nothing said about a discount, because they like you. So the question really is whether or not you're a chiseler.

She mixed shit up at the register. My coworker decided it was her mistake, and didn't pay. Of course it was her mistake. Still, your co-worker is a douche. Agree on the douche. $1.25 really. I always keep the folks happy who have a hand in making food for me. If I were the sammich maker, I would have your co-worked etched into my memory and can assure you she'll wish she paid back the $1.25. I would also assume your whole group is a-holes and always have a special container of dressing ready for you when you came back in for another sammich. I would even prob snap a picture of your group of people and share with my co-workers but thats just me. If I were you.....I would not return there JIC you are linked to the chiseler sitting beside you. You may end up pregnant after eating your next sammich. |
Now that made my tummy giggle.|
Quoted: i cant believe she actually came to ask for the money. its food and they throw away lots more than that every day. But the register doesn't track food that is thrown away. It tracks food sold and that should match the money in the drawer. If it's short, the owner gets mad at the employee. Like someone said earlier, she may be scared of the owner. I've done some service work on Subways before and holy shit, they watch every nickel and your estimate better be SPOT ON. If you estimated a job at $534.45 and gave him a bill for $534.95. You are getting the $534.45. Now that may be just the owners I dealt with so everyone else may be different. Just happened too many times to me to not chalk it up to coincidence. |

I would pay it, but I think that she was wrong for asking. It just looks bad from the customer's end. If one of my employees under charged a customer by a dollar, I would not want them chasing them down and asking for the money. I would rather they explained the variance to me at the end of the day.

I pay it.
Mistakes happen. I'm not going to get somebody fired over $1.25, regardless of the right/wrong of it. Nobody's perfect (at least, I'm not). If she did it of her own volition, then very good on her. That takes guts and wanting to do the right thing versus having the store eat it. |
| This is interesting OP, about 10 years ago, at a subway, the same thing happened to me for about $1. Anyone have enough experience in retail to know if a possible scam could be going on here? I know it could be coincidental, but someone here probably knows the tricks of retail thieves. |

Legally: Offer and Acceptance applies. The store is required to take the hit.
Morally: You pay up the difference. I generally go the moral route. The reverse is also true where you got overcharged. Legally: The store makes a bit extra profit. Morally: The clerk (I hate the term associate) refunds the overcharge. One of the little stores that I frequent recently overcharged me because the clerk forgot to clear a pending purchase. I overpaid by $5.48. Later when I returned to buy more stuff, the clerk had put an envelope with the overpayment and a description of me. I got my refund, though not legally due me, but morally so. It's just one reason I continue to support that store. |

This happens at the store I manage every once in awhile. If the person has already paid and we've given the receipt I tell the cashier not to worry about it, but to be more aware next time.
The cashier tells them the price and they pay it, its agreement on both sides on the price. |

$1.25? Forgot to ring up the "double meat" or "add bacon"?
The till is likely correct and I doubt the extra food would be missed. How ever, is the customer going to get a receipt for the extra $1.25? If the cashier was contrite and offered to bring a corrected receipt I would pay it. I would not pay it without a receipt. I would not pay it if the cashier starts with "you didn't pay me" or otherwise tries to make this my fault. |
