Should I tell Tesco I basically stole £300 from them?

[loamy]

Just checked my banking app and had around £300 more than I was expecting. Turns out that one of our shops was cancelled by dh but it still showed up for delivery. Husband wasn’t in so son accepted the order AND we got the refund. So it’s actually funny because our texts shows us getting our wires crossed. Husband thought I had unilaterally decided to reorder. He asked “so you did decide to do the shop in the end” and I answered in the affirmative as I very coincidentally happened to go into M and S for some bits my daughter wanted to try. And it was that I thought he was referring to. I thought her was being sexy cause dd went a bit overboard with the cookies, dips etc

Anyway, it’s been about three weeks. I guess this has slipped through.

Wouls you tell Tesco? I’m surprised that the idea of being sneaky flashed in my mind.

It was a pricier shop as DH ordered a few nicer bottles of wine to enjoy for a family event.

You can see it without subscribing. It looks like you can't, but you can.

I wouldn't.

I also wouldn't burgle someone's house, because that's a completely different thing.

No I wouldn’t be telling them. The drama that would cause as their systems won’t be set up to recharge you.

Amazon cancelled the delivery of our trampoline we ordered and refunded us. And then the delivery turned up. They never asked for the money - I assumed they redebit the card once they realised but they didn’t.

You didn’t steal it, they made an error. They make tens of millions of pounds of profit every month, so I would have no qualms about keeping quiet.

I once had Argos mess me about with a delivery of about £150 of goods. Kept promising me it was due imminently and wasted half a day waiting in. Then they said they had lost track of the delivery and didn’t know where it was! Eventually I rang Customer Services and asked them to cancel the order and issue a refund. Doorbell went at about 10pm (!) and it was a big Argos van with my goods. It was just before Christmas so admittedly they were probably snowed under. Refund also arrived in my account 2 days later! I did not feel guilty in the slightest. They messed up, their tracking system was rubbish and they had wasted my time.

I’ve only posted a few threads but I always change my name. Had a poster bring up my post history and use it against me. I know others do the same.

I wouldn’t the profit Tesco make every year on food prices is madness £300 worth won’t make them go into administration.

I changed the price on a jacket in Tesco and at the self service TIL the cashier noticed

if it were anyone other than Tesco I would totally own up. But the club card price scam is harming consumers and it’s a total shaft and quite frankly I will never shop at Tesco again so enjoy the wine and feel good for getting one over on them - it looks like Sainsbury’s have gone the same way so they are on my shit lost too

YOU WOULDN’T STEAL A CAR

That's shocking 😲

A policewoman got her salary payment twice. She knew she had been paid twice. She didn't bother to tell them.

She was fired and charged with theft. Theft is permanently and intentionally depriving another of property belonging to another. Tesco is the 'another.'

Tesco might forget about it completely. Or you might wake up with blue flashing lights on your drive one morning. It's your call.

Here's the case law:

DON'T MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION ABOUT ME, BLOCKBUSTER!! YOU DON'T KNOW ME!!!

Also

"Blue flashing lights on your drive one morning" 😂😂😂 What a pleasant interlude from prepping Christmas!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tesco are well known for not honoring advertised offers or BOGOFS in store, so is say this is restorative karma

You did what?

They would probably have to throw away more than £300 of food because its damaged/ gone off/ cant sell it for some reason. It was an honest mistake.

I once had £1500 turn up in my bank account. Except it was some strange odd figure like £1487.23, so it obviously wasn't a gift. I phoned the bank up and they insisted I had paid it in by cheque at a particular branch in a town I had never been to. i spent weeks expecting to hear from the bank that it had been paid to me in error but I never heard another thing about it and eventually assumed that it either was genuinely mine or it belonged to somebody so rich that they hadn't noticed it had gone missing.

1. You wouldn't steal a handbag.

1. You wouldn't steal a car.

1. You wouldn't steal a baby.

1. You wouldn't shoot a policeman and then steal his helmet.

And...You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet and then send it to the policeman's grieving widow. And then steal it again!
