To run out the shop and kick my ankle?

[toocool4cats]

Because the person on the till made an error that resulted in me getting a bottle of sun cream for free. Am I naughty for not returning to pay and shouting YES as soon as the car door shut ?

Why did it make you kick your ankle

Yes it's theft.

The person on the till may want to kick your ankle when they are explaining why it's short.

Not much happens in your life if this is a highlight to you

Fine, you got it for free. YABU for thinking it's cool and bragging about it.

Yes - it's not a victimless crime and the minimum wage shop assistant may well have to make up any shortfall in their till.

Do you mean click your heels like that little jump to the side thing? I don't know why anyone would kick their ankles in celebration!

THIEF

I am baffled by you kicking your ankle.

A 'free' bottle of Sun lotion, yeah, really worth celebrating.

Oh for gods sake! If its a big shop the till isn't going to be short!! Big shops can afford lots of wastage which this will count as.

You just knowingly kind of stole. Bad karma. I'd go take it back and pay for it.

That's not true or legal. And how would they know that a sun screen went missing from that till? They don't film the stuff going through and compare it to the receipts.

Ankle kicking is a bit 80's team building/ PSA video. Jump up and throw your arm in the air and kick your ankle.

I wish you luck with this thread.

You don't get out much do you OP?

I think OP must mean like when Oliver and Fagin dance off kicking their ankles together...that celebratory move. Maybe English isn't her first language.

It's not theft. You asked to buy x amount of goods, the shop assistant offered to sell them to you at y price. Whether or not this was the price the management intended is irrelevant, the employee made the offer to you and you seized it.

In any case any gains you make are likely to be offset by other pricing errors that work against you. I've lost count of the times I've been overcharged by a couple of quid, usually because the BOGOF sign is up but the till doesn't recognise it - it's not worth the hassle of arguing over. The feeling of euphoria when they mis-scan something in your favour more than offsets it.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Thats kinda lame.

Have you thought about getting out more?

I'm embarrassed for you

pfft the price of decent sunscreen here, id probably not say anything either

pfft the price of decent sunscreen here, id probably not say anything either It's one thing not to say anything but would you kick your ankles in some kind of celebratory dance on the way to the car before shouting YES!?

Go back and pay for it. You know that the shop made a mistake and not to rectify the error is theft on your part.
