A friend of mine was telling me something that happened over the weekend. Went to a sporting goods store and purchased several items. When they got home determined that the clerk had failed to charge them for a $75 pair of shoes. They debated about whether they should go back and pay for it.

What would you do?

I'd probably go back.
















And pick up 6 more pairs! That's a steal!

Nothing. Anytime you can stick it to the man you do it.

I have a horribly guilty conscience, so I would return it.

I would worry that the clerk was a single mother who would be fired, pledge to go back, drive the shoes around in my car for 3 weeks, and then do nothing.

I would tell a friend of mine and have him post the question on a message board. :P

I'd keep them & consider it my lucky day! I'm even-steven...it all works out!

I would register "sporting goods store clerk" as a username at the CSFMB then taunt you about it all the time.

If the store can't do their jobs, its not my place to help them. Their loss. Too bad.

Wear the shoes for a week and then return them for store credit.

:lol:

They decided to not go back because they thought the girl would get in trouble for letting it slip.

I said I would go back because if I took free shoes I am sure something bad would happen to me in those shoes and I would end up being out more than $75

In an ideal world the manager would be very grateful and give you a $20 gift certificate or something. More than likely the person at the customer service desk would act like you are interrupting her Facebook time.

This is a tough one.

I can honestly say there have been points in my life where I would go back immediately and other times where I wouldn't say a word.

Right now, I'd probably just stand pat and be happy with my good fortune...

I delivered a pizza saturday. I said 31.59.

The guy replied "39 right? here ya go" and handed me 42 dollars and shut the door.

I knocked and explained the difference. He took back 2 dollars. Still a real good tip.

As the board's likely least wealthy member, I absolutely state that that guy is a straight-up dickhole for taking back the 2 bucks.

Eh, possibly. But still, and I say this as a former pizza delivery guy, an $8 tip on a $31/32 dollar order is pretty damn good.

True, but what kind of petty asswipe takes back 2 dollars? Does he not want to appear like some decadent Roman emperor by not just leaving it at around? If he really needs that 2 bucks, what the hell is he doing spending forty on a pizza? Be a pal and hope that that karma gives you a slight nod in the future or something like that ... the guy made the mistake in haste, RPB was a man and wanted to make sure the guy was informed, and as a token of thanks for the extra effort he took back a couple bucks. I hope they put so much cheese on his pizza that the guy doesn't shit this week, frankly.

the Brady Bunch where the boys find a wallet with 1000$ in it was on yesterday
Mr. Brady made them turn it over to the cops
what an asshole

then when the owner finally claimed it (Mr. Stoner), he tried to give them a reward and Mr. Brady would only let them accept a 20 to split between all the kids.

Eh, yeah.

But as Frank said, 8 is 8. If he would have made me break the 20 to give him change, THAT would have been dickish. And there are absolutely people who would have done that

Yeah, and that was ONE pizza btw. Extra jalepeno's I think. But yeah, he has money for a 35 dollar pizza

I'd like to think I would take back the shoes, but I'm almost certain I would just keep the shoes, as shitty as that may be.
