What would you do?

Punching midgets is wrong. They're meant to be thrown.

[762cavalier]

Years ago in a past life I would have walked without saying a word.

Nowadays my integrity means too much to me. I am not the person I used to be.

[masameet]

I've worked retail, so I have a lot of sympathy for people who still do.

Probably would've made a joke, like "Wow! I'm getting all this stuff for 15 bucks! If you're going to be this generous, how about letting me have it for free?!"

Saying something foolishly outlandish always gets a clerk's attention and makes them not feel so darned stupid for making a mistake.

Other times have turned out to be some great deals. Like the time I returned some Patagonia clothes that I'd gotten on sale online. At the retail store, the register rang up the items at the regular retail prices. So not only did I get my money back, but I got a little more. And the guy behind the counter said, with a smile, It's okay!

It is the same as stealing if you don't.

I just had a similar situation...went to walmart and a newbie (not usually at the ammo counter) gave me the ammo in a bag and told me to pay at the AutoCenter. I could have walked out with 6 boxes of 9mm WWB, but why. I am not going to lie, I thought about it for a second.

It's all about Karma..Think about it.. A loaded gun with stolen ammo. Not a good time to have the Karma gods seek vengance. Next you will be in the emergency room for yourself or another person because one shot kicked up a rock and hit you in the eye. Not worth it..

[lawaia]

Tell them about the mistake. But I'm curious what you did.

[Decoligny]

What if you won an auction for a NIB Kimber Raptor and the store overnight it to your FFL before you send them the money order?

Then I would send the money order along with a note that not all people are honest.

[Decoligny]

to tell you the truth, its happened to me at turners, only $10 in merch but they basically rang up a big box of shells and forgot 2 5 packs, i was out of the store by the time i noticed and looked at the receipt, i didn't really have a choice

Sure you did. You had the choice of keeping a quick sawbuck, or taking the time to go back into the store and make it right. Or if it was when you were 10 miles down the road, take the next opportunity to go in and pay for what you got.

A man who isn't faithful in the things of little consequence will never be faithful in the things that really matter.

[Decoligny]

Really depends on the store.

I can't stand Walmart, so I'd be real tempted to consider that an aggravation fee.

You know what you call someone who steals $0.25?








A thief.

[shovel88ci]

Same answer, be honest. I sleep good at night knowing that no one's ever been caused pain by my dishonesty.

I'll bet you'd get a different answer to this question if it was asked on a forum frequented by Obama voters.

+1 right on!

[nick]

I'd point it out to the sales person. My integrity is worth more than that. Just like I'd point out if they overcharged me, although it's not always as well-received

Keeping your honesty in big things is easy. Keeping your honesty in little things is where it counts.

Just like: Being kind to friends and loved ones is easy. Being kind to total strangers is the real test.

Honestly....I would tell him. Coming from a retail background as a younger man I really appreciated when I got a heads up from an honest guy just trying to help out. Being busy in a place like that you want to get the easy things done.

It's also a good sign when you come in next time and they KNOW you didn't steal the $50 or whatever in ammo. Trust me they would remember.

[Two Shots]

I agree with those who would let the clerk know about the mistake.

[Z ME FLY]

Haha I would tell him.... I would say "Oh I am getting free ammo with my purchase today? Cool!"

Hopefully he will realize that he needs to charge me then I will pay. People are actually pretty good at these things from my past experiences.

[packnrat]

Tempting due to prices these days.
But I value my name...and it is not mud.

A whole warehouse of ammo does not even add up to the value of my name.

I would let the clerk know of the problem.
