If the cashier gave you back extra change, would you keep it?

I just got an extra 5cents after buying a chocolate bar today, but I didn't tell the cashier. Would you inform the cashier if they gave you extra money (any amount?)

yes I would

Yup,I would.

I've done it in the past. duxup

I always give it back.

If I noticed right there at the register, yeah probably. If I had already left the register, now way I'm walking back to lose money. :P

Well, yes, but i don't think i'd even notice if it were just 5 cents.joao_22990

As a boy, I once went back into the shop saying he had given me too much change. Really stupid I was.

I usually don't count my coins, I just stuff them in my wallet. So I wouldn't know if I recieved extra change or not.

Would they do the same?

It happened to me once and I returned the money. I think it was 50 cents, and I had already left the store so I walked quite a bit to return the money.

yeah but I never look at my change.

i was once at mcdonalds and didnt pay.... i had my hand out the lady didnt take the money.....gave me my food.... i left..oh well12Bullets

Definately

If it's a trivial amount, probably not. If the cashier made a big mistake, I'd likely tell him so. Then run off with the money before he catches me.

If it was only change, I probably wouldn't say anything (I probably wouldn't realize it either 'cause I don't count the change when I get it back), but if it was dollar bills, I'd give back the extra amount. Only happened to me once, so I gave it back. It was at the same store I work at also.

Always. That gets docked out of their pay, so I don't see how its fair for me to keep it.

Unless they were being a complete prick about everything.

Yes, I have done in the past. It's not my money, and I have done nothing to deserve it.

Depends on how much it is. If it's just a few cents, I'll probably just keep it. But if they gave me a few dollars extra I'd return it.

Why not? Their mistake, my gain. And I don't really ever count my change. I just stuff it in my pocket and leave. Plus, I also rarely if ever use cash to buy things. Its always credit or debit.

Wow, 5 cents... It really depends what kind of mood I'm in. I usually give it back but its been a while.

Hell yes. Discounts FTW.

I don't keep it. I'm a cashier, and if I'm any amount short it comes out of my pocket, same as everyone else.

Please return your change if its wrong

They have given me back extra money, and I didn't keep it. It's not mine, it would be wrong for me to take it.

Now, that's not to say that I always count my change to the penny. If it's only a few cents off, I'll keep it simply because I do not know that the cashier gave me too much money. But if I DO know that I was given too much back, I always give back the change. Because it's not mine.

If it's a large multi-million dollar corporation chain store, yes I would keep it. If it's a small mom-and-pop type of store, I would return it.Soul-Doctor

Yeah, it's not as if large corporations go broke and have to lay off employees. :roll:

If it's a noticeable difference, then yes, of course.

I don't ever count my change.

Even if I noticed, I really doubt that I'd give it back. Some dude not being able to count isn't really my problem. And if his pay gets docked because of it, then he kinda deserved it.

If a bank accidentally types an extra 0 and puts $1000 into your account instead of $100, do you think it'll stand up in court when you sue them for turning that $1000 back into $100?
