I have an honesty issuse. Tuesday I went to Kmart. They were having a one night sale of clothes that were only $1 each. I got the items that I went in there for and I looked at the clothes and found 4 items that I wanted. At the cash register I watched the girl scan all my items. The clothes need a specail code to get them for a $1 and the supervisor showed her how to do this. She realized that she made a mistake and she voided the transaction and started over. I did not watch every move she made the 2nd time and I was talking to my son. I paid with a credit card so I did not pay close attention the the total. the other day I looked at the ticket and noticed that one of the items I have already opened and used was not on the reciept. It had the little anti theft sticker on it if it had not been rung up the scaners would have sounded as I was walking out. They did not sound. is that the 1st time she rang this the computer must have lifted the restriction. Should I go back?

Should I go back and offer to pay for this or should I just accept the fact the shw made a mistake in my favor?? I don't want gulit but I feel that I did nothing wrong. I did not steal the item if you know what I mean.

GO BACK AND PAY FOR IT. Do you want to feel like a thief cause you basically are one since you know you did pay for it and obviously you know it's wrong.

If you made a mistake like that, she would be at you right this minute but show her that she can not do it again by going back and reporting it to her. She will then know how to behave when your around.

I am of the opinion that it was her mistake, so it's on her. That's a lot of hassle to go through to void it out, etc. etc. And you'd be spending that extra money to drive back so you could spend money on the thing that didn't get rung up anyway.

Forget it. It is a very small thing. Besides, if you frequent KMart long enough, you will probably get slightly overcharged for something in the future. It will all balance out.

If you are struggling with this issues as it seems you are go pay for the item. You were going to buy it anyway.

I would go back and tell them they made a mistake ,with out saying what the mistake was.
If they say they will make things right- then tell them that YOU are the one that owes them money.

It depends whether you can live with the guilt or whether you want free of it. I don't think this is a very hard decision to make.
