Clarks gave me two pairs of trainers by mistake! Scruples in question

[SecondhandRose]

Instead of Clarks giving me back DD's very uncomfortable sandals back in a box they gave me a 2nd pair of the same trainers just in one width size smaller. Both widths fitted but the G looked most comfy.

What would you do?

keep 'em!

hmmm - keep them! if they can't be more on the ball then tough. It would be a pia for you to have to trawl back to town to give them back - tooooo much hassle! give a tenner to charity to soothe your concience.

Keep em.

(i would give them back) or donate them to a charity shop

how did you pay for them? If it was by card, they could trace you if they could be bothered.

You're really lucky, when Clarks last sold me a pair of trainers for DS, we ended up with an odd pair!

I'd keep em, they probably won't notice they've gone till stock check or whatever, then they would have no idea what happened to them.

Does your dd know about the 'mistake'? Cos if she does I would take them back otherwise are you giving the message that you can be dishonest as long as no-one finds out? Don't think this is a message I would want to be giving to dd - you know it will come back to haunt you. (Sorry to be such a stickler)

sort of agree with hotmama but then I do seem to give most of my money to Clarks at the moment so I think clawing a little of that back is probably a good thing

kkep them

Basically you are stealing them. If you are happy with that, them keep them.

keep them. they have 90 days to either charge you for them or ask for them back if nither happen then you are llegely ok to keep them.

Message withdrawn

but they stole your dd sandles

this happened to us a few years ago, but didnt relaise till a few days later. so we sold them on ebay.

Clarks charge an outrageous amount of money and give very poor service IME so I'd keep them

As an ex Clarks Manager I have to say my bit.

The majority of staff try really hard to prevent things like that from happening and in certain circumstances some staff are wrongly accused of stealing because something has gone missing.

It is a very easy mistake to make especially when it's busy, I know I have done it myself.

So what I' trying to say is take them back.
The store will be very appreciative as will the member of staff who sold them

I'm sure Starlover will back me up on this one

oh NBG... you know me so well!!!

oh keep 'em/

monsoon once wrapped and packed all my bits and totally forgot to actually charge me. I felt bad for ...oh about 2 inutes. Phoned my mum and my best friend and they said keep em, say nothing, so I did!

I've worked in retail and if i did that and the person returned them I'd think they were mad!

Take 'em back!
sorry ..

What about going in and demanding the sandals back Tell them they forgot to give you them back Don't swap them for the sandals

Actuallly I would probably keep them, while feeling really bad.

Hope someone else doesn't get your DD's old sandals as their brand new shoes!

Please take them back. Honestly they will be so grateful.

I'd take them back, too. I'd be the first to complain if a shop charged me twice for one pair of shoes, and to me it has to work both ways. Plus, if the shop has to account for all of the shoes they stock, someone may end up being wrongly accused of stealing the shoes.

keep them! It doesn't come out of their pocket and clarks can afford to loose a pair of shoes. Keeeep theeeemmmm!
