Dilemma...
I go to a shop, purchase an item for $400 and pay for it by eftpos (savings), get my till receipt and eftpos receipt stapled together by the assistant and take my purchase home.
When I look at the receipts later, I find that the till receipt is for $400 but the eftpos is for $4.00. Sales assistant charged my account $4.00, instead of the $400.
What would you do?

I'd pay them the difference. Mainly because I'm honest but mostly because I'd get caught
No, the assistant could get sacked for a mistake like that, couldn't live with myself knowing that.

Re: Dilemma...
More than likely, I've worked in them sort of jobs all my life and have seen it happen loads of times. One job I worked in if you were short you had to pay it out of your own wages
I think she could do with a bit more training though

Re: Dilemma...
Depends what sort of shop it is in my eyes and what would happen to the sales ass. If its a big corporate organisation and nothing would come back on the sales ass id do nothing as these big companies rip us off all the time. However if small local business i wouldnt hesitate in pointing out the mistake. I cant see it coming back on sale ass as its the till that has to add up and the efpos is seperate entity i think. mmm not sure though

See, I'm obviously not as honest as Wendy, 'cos if I was I'd have gone back and paid up in full by now.
Its a dilemma 'cos the devil sitting on one shouklder says its a big business and their mistake, not mine. I handed my eftpos card over in good failth to pay the $400 and it was them who cocked up the transaction.
However, the angel sitting on my other shoulder is worried the shop girl will get the boot.
Damn my conscience....
