manitoubass2 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Well i just drove 40 mins to our local walmart to get a few petty work gear items etc. After the transaction, right before you get a receipt, the till froze. So i checked my online bank and it was deducted, but i couldnt get a receipt. I get home and just outta curiousity, check my account. I was accredited the purchase??? Im gonna catch some flack here but i called them and told them i got several hundred dollars worth of stuff for free. Manager was relieved. Anyhow, most probably already do but it never hurts to keep a close eye on your debit transactions. It could easily go the other way.

aplumma Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Well done just because it is a big company does not mean it hurts no one. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Flack for doing the honest thing? I'd do the same. I would also expect the store to make good on it if it had gone the other way and I'd been double charged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 I just know alot of people that generally dont like coporations like walmart, thats all. I could easily see people just saying "oh well, their mistake" but I know the good folks of OFC would have done the right thing;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimsbylander Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 A couple years ago my wife spent half an hour trying to convince a pharmacy employee they under charged her by $500. The employee actually ended up getting angry and rude. We ended up calling the owner to explain what had happened and to make it right. Never worked so hard to give away money.

manitoubass2 Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Its kinda touchy to mention, but last year or so I worked(volunteering) for a suboxone treatment program this helps people kick opiates. I went to do my pickup of suboxone and ironically I had an extra package. I looked and to my dismay it was alot of opiates. Ive been in school for similar trades to pharmacology, and knew the street value would be well into the $40,000 dollar mark. Crazy. I immediately rushed them back to the pharmacy and wow were they thankful. That coulda went bad so many ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2fan Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Awesome to see some people will still do the right thing even for the evil wally world empire LOL. I was at ours a while back and the cashier made a mistake giving me back an extra 20 as it had stuck together, when I paid with a 50. I told her and handed it back. She was extremely thankful because as she said at the end of her shift she would have had to cough it up out of her own pocket. So transaction mistakes aren't against companies in most cases they are against the overworked cashier, trying to crack out the customers as fast as possible... ( I know Walmart doesn't care about how fast you check out because if they did they would have more than 2 or 3 cashiers working at the 24 checkouts they have sitting there LOL) Edited October 26, 2014 by Canuck2fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 If I say they didn't charge me enough and they say they did, I walk out. Sorry but it's not my job to convince the stupid, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True it isn't, my job either but a couple of times I have insisted on showing them the mistake because they are making ME out to be the idiot... LOL Which is probably right now that I think about it, because I could have just taken the free stuff and left, instead of spending MY time properly training the staff for the store owner.

Mister G Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Happens all the time........this last time though I was at the short end of the ugly stick.....restaurant took my credit card and had it for a long time...........waiter said their system was down and would have it back ASAP....20 minutes later he returned the card to me and I added a tip on the bill. Now for the last 3 weeks a extra $136.11 has been on my account. It's been on and off then on my account again. Had to call the C.C. company and they took it off but it's still in the investigation mode for now. Sooner or later it will be straightened out once and for all.

ketchenany Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 We frequenta fresh pasta store in Woody and have been for many years. Last year we went in and it came to 18.70. Got a receipt and went on our way, when my wife checked her bank accout there was 870.00 missing, the pasta store!. Too late to call the store as they were closed Went back Sunday looking for answers. They were waiting for us, they had tried to call the bank, trying to trace us for a phone number. . All ended well. Now when I go in as she is ringing up the order I remind her to make sure she punched in the right numbers and we both smile.

Woodsman Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Once I was given change for $30 when I only paid with $20. I told the guy and showed him what he gave me. He argued that he didn't make a mistake. My response was "life to short to argue". That sure confused him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
