Would you go back?

[Luvin Labs]

Their mistake or mine, I would have gone back to pay for it. I've done it before and I always feel 1000% better when I do so. I just go over to the customer service desk and get taken care of right away.

Just think, people who do NOT come back to pay for it are really bringing the prices of items UP, since they have shoplifted in a sense. Sure you didn't KNOW you had something you didn't pay for when you left, but when you notice you didn't pay for it and don't go back, you have just shoplifted. AND are raising our prices of items!

It happened to me, so I can say in all honesty: "I would have taken it back to pay for it"! Their reply was that not many people would have done that and they thanked me for my honesty

weeeell.........one time i was a t the grocery and i placed some soap for dishes in the part under the cart (I hate when it´s near food) so as i walked to pay I unloaded "everything" (or so I thought, but, one employee did helped me) adn they never charged me the soap (I noticed that when i got to my car and saw the soap not in a shipping bag as everything else)......but i just walked off.......(It was cold and on a previous time they charged me something I didn´t bought, so we got even)

on that particular situation(on the stroller hideout) been there done that but If I noticed whithin distance I would pay back or just return item.........If I were too far I would just don´t bother and come back in a later time..........

I might quibble with you a bit. A crime, such as shoplifting, requires a certain mens rea- a guilty mind. That is at the time one committed the action constituting a crime. So, if there is no "guilty mind" at the time, one does not aquire a guilty mind an hour after the fact.

If it were THEIR mistake- maybe they didn't add it up, maybe the price was entered incorrectly, whatever, I am not going back. That isn't any sort of criminal act on my part, but, it is probably negligence on their part! When one does an act consituting negligence, they pay the price.

When a store starts calling ME to say, "Oh, we charged you wrong, didn't you notice? Come get your refund"...I will begin the same practice. Until then? I remain convinced it all evens out in the end.

While I applaud those of you driving twenty minutes out of your way, to return or pay for a $4.00 item, that was not your responsibility, I see a much greater pull on the economy that way. Gas? Pollution? Wear and tear on your car? The 'man' hour expenditure of the customer service rep receiving the cash, and then explaining it....I could prolly go on, but, you might see my point. he he he...

I sleep very well at night, thank you.

I have to completely agree with this statement!!

Jo we don't agree on a lot of things but I totally agree with you on this.

I've been overcharged more times than I can count and don't bother to go back and get my money for all the reasons you stated. So when something like that happens I don't go back to pay and honestly don't feel bad about it (I sleep pretty good too).

If its a far distance away I can totally see your point. Or if the price was wrong.

A prime example of this is the supermarket,quite often they make mistakes either way, quite often not giving me the specials advertised and overcharging me, and i don't have the time to be bothered checking my till receipt right away,not until i get home, so i figure they have ripped me off quite a few times, so when its in my favour i donot go back,too much time involved, i often don't bother going back either when it is not in my favour, so kinda works out in the end i think,so many people never check their supermarket till receipts so they fair pretty well out of it i reckon.
