If you were putting away your purchases at home and found that you were not charged for something, would you insist on paying for it?
-
Yes!
-
I would not go back to pay for it... mistakes happen and sometimes I pay for them, sometimes the store pays for them... it's not really that big a deal...
-
I suppose it would depend on the item that was not paid for. I know accidents happen on both sides, so if it was something small I would not pay for it. However, if it was something expensive I would make it right. Otherwise, I would feel guilty about it!
-
Have to agree with the last post. If it was a cheap item, no, but if it were something expensive, yes.
-
Insist? No, but I would call the store and let them know about it.
And the next time I was in the store, I would talk to the manager and at least offer to pay for whatever it was.
-
If it were something small from the grocery store I wouldn't worry about it; there have been several times when I got home from the store to realize the clerk left a bag on the checkout stand that didn't get into my cart. I can only remember it ever working out in my favor once. I did walk out of Costco once with a swim suit draped over my arm with my purse (I had been in a hurry sorting through them to find the right size), checked out and had the person checking out receipts sign me out. Didn't notice it until I got the to the car. I returned it the next day and they were kind of shocked.

Depends on the product. If it were, say, a 20$ item, of course. If it was a cheap candy bar, probably not. Even if I called it in or took it back, I imagine they would say to just keep it for free.

Not too long ago I had that very thing happen to me: I went to Walmart and ended up with a pack of index cards that I did not intend to buy and sure enough had not paid for; they were in the seat part of the buggy as I had intended to put them back before I checked out but forgot to do so. I found them when I went to put my bags in the car but was in such a rush and had frozen items I needed to get home with, that I just kept them for 2 weeks till I made another trip to Walmart. I turned them in at Customer Service and I honestly think the lady that took them back was shocked that I had returned them. I don't want anything I haven't paid for as that is stealing in my opinion even though I did not intend to leave the store with them. My daughter was impressed I took them back so I felt good about setting the right example for her.
-
mistakes happen both ways it would depend on what the item was and how expensive it was since I have travel a good distance (25 or so miles) many times I have left a store without an item I paid for cause they did not bag it or they over charged so it would just depend ............
-
Yes. I have several times that i was not charged enough for items, and could not lways get back to the store to pay for or return them. Once i had bout severl boxes of itilian sasuge and relized the had onl chared me for 9 boxes and i was already a hundred miles away going to a fair. When we got back home i went in and showed them my reciept and paid for the other box. The were so nice and gave me a 10% discount for the whole order. As i had put it all on my charge account. Now today another story. Hubby and i went shopping at Walmart after dr. appointment. When we got home i found a 5lb package of ground beef was not in the cooler. Dufus did not load it into the basket becaue i paid for it. $17.00 down the drain and he wonders why i don't like to take him shopping.
-
If it was for a small amount I probably would have forgotten about it by the next time I was at the store. If it was a fairly large amount I would tell them the next time but I wouldn't make a special trip.
-
Nope.
-
I almost always check my receipt unless i'm buying 2-3 things,once after I was done shopping and was putting my stuff in the car.i came across a couple bags of things I hadn't bought like ice cream and frozen Chinese food .so I took them back in the store I hadn't been charged for them crossed my mind to just take them .then remember if it was me i'd be mad returned the items some good ice cream though.
-
Nope.
One time I thought that I did not get the correct change back and I did not realize it until I was out of the store. Well I went back in to confront the person and it came to be that I was given the correct change. I had spend it before leaving the store and did not remember doing so. I was very embarrassed.
-
No, it wouldn't be worth my time or gas to drive back to the store.
-
I agree with what a lot of people are saying, depends on the item. With gas as high as it has been, I would not make the trip back but would call and let them know and offer to pay for it next time I'm in the store. On the other hand, once I did not get a whole bag of easter items (I had them put them together in one bag so my daughter would not find them when putting away groceries). I called and they checked but the bag was not at the counter where I paid for the items so someone got a bag of easter items (candy, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.) that they didn't pay for! Of course, when I went back to Walmart, they were out of a lot of the items I had bought so I had to make do with other items that they did have.
-
i always shop online thats honest opinion :D
-
Like most everyone else, I would only go back to pay for it if it was a more expensive item.
