Man in the shop put more then I paid on my key metre - do I own up?

[ThePlEWhoLovedMe]

Went to shop to top up gas key metre. When I got home i discovered he had put on double what I gave him in a mistake. Do I stay anything ? AIBU to not say anything ?

Only complete eejits believe in karma.

Say precisely nada OP. Early xmas pressie

Karma is not a bitch that is a facebook phrase when people are pissed off, if karma existed that is,

[LookAtAllTheseFucksIGive]

If karma exists then who's to say that her little bonus isn't a gift for some amazing shit she's done and this is the karma god's way of hi-fiving her?

I once put £50 on someones key by mistake instead of £15 as they asked. I had a stinking cold and had dragged myself into work. Couldn't reverse it so the customer got to keep it. I got a mild bollocking. The guy was a regular customer but didn't offer to pay. It was my mistake.

[akaemmafrost]

I wouldn't .

[5madthings]

Keep it! You are having to pay over the odds for your electric anyway, if there is karma this is you getting something good you deserve :)

[Marzipanface]

It was his mistake. You didn't notice in the shop. Put it on your meter. Think of it as Lady Luck shining on you.

Do a good deed to balance it all out if you prefer!

[PickledInAPearTree]

Fuck karma it's bloody cold.

[quoteunquote]

The man that made the mistake could lose his job.

[BattlingFanjos]

My first thought was tell the shop, but its freezing and sodding evil bastards EDF have been charging me £85 a month on my meter just for gas so to be fair I probably wouldn't tell them! Plus they can't take the credit back it'd be put on your meter as debt and they'd drag it out. Enjoy it :)

[Morloth]

Depends.

In my current situation then yes, I would go back. If you are broke and this is a really fortunate turn of events then fuck that.

I have a somewhat 'flexible' morality though.

[myfirstkitchen]

keep it! co-op put £10 on my key, there was nothing on my key when I got in and when I went back they didn't give a shit!

[EauRouge]

Karma is bullshit.

I would still go back though, I would feel guilty if I didn't.

[dawsonjunior]

I've been the sales assistant to put too much money on before.

I was called into the back room and had to be interviewed and then watch myself on CCTV doing it. So yes chances are you will be CCTV too so they'll know you if you're a regular.

Money was not taken out of my wages.

[valiumredhead]

No.

[reddaisy]

Keep it.

[GoldenHandshake]

Energy companies are thieving bastards anyway, keep it. The shop assistant will not be sacked, there are allowances for human error.

[PickledInAPearTree]

Bloody hell when I worked in a shop I was forever doing stuff like this and I never ever got wages docked.

What if they hadn't noticed the mistake? Op is then going in and making a fuss a d getting someone into bother for no reason.

[goralka]

you are already paying over the odds for your gas with a key meter, say nothing.

[HaudYerWheeshtFannyBaws]

I wouldn't say anything and would keep it. The assistant won't get his wages docked. It's not allowed.

[Iggly]

Keep it.

Would the fuckers tell you if you overpaid?

Unlikely.

[DeltaUniformDeltaEcho]

I'd keep it!

[roundtable]

Maybe this is op's 'karma'?

Normally I'm all for telling the truth but considering energy companies are robbing us blind and getting away with it, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. I'm sure they don't.
