13. The amazing thing about grocery stores is that they have great cameras

Oct 6

I did something similar, and I was supposed to get money back from the cashier but I just left without it. I realized what had happened so I went back to the cashier and she told me to come back tomorrow with my receipt and go to customer service. They looked up my transaction, which showed that I was supposed to get $40, and when I walked away the cashier put the money back in her till. When they counted that night it was $40 over, so they gave it to me.

I was amazed that they kept such a close watch - but its a huge cash handling business, and all stores have a few bad employees.
