Embezzelment or Fraud or theft?

Question

Our store recently had a store wide sale. My co worker priced some chairs to a customer and I then sold them to the customer at that price. Owner is furious and acting like we took the money. I told them to call the customer all the money was there. Is this considered embezzellment fraud or theft? Because they sure are acting like it!!

Answer 1

None of those crimes apply. Your co-worker did the pricing. If it was his mistake if he indeed did make a mistake.

If you are in the US, there some advertising laws that may apply. If there is a price tag on something, the merchant has to sell it at that price, even if it is an error.
