Got into a full class debate today. The scenario is this. You are in Walmart with 2 $60 items. You get rang up for one, so you're total is $60 plus tax. The cashier looks clueless to their mistake. Do you say "that's not right, they're $60 a piece?" or do you just pay the $60 and leave?

Now, everybody in the class gave the politically correct answer and acted like great, Christian, honest, never gonna tell a lie people. They said "i'd tell them of the mistake." Meanwhile, I said "hell, i'm a college student. If they screw up, that's on them."

So, how would you guys respond (or how have you responded before)?

This actually just happened to my wife and I last week... we bought like $300 worth of groceries etc. at Walmart and her purse was in the cart. We unloaded it and there was a book she was gonna buy sitting under her purse, which didn't get moved. When we got to the truck in the parking lot, my wife realized it and took the book back in and paid for it. It was the right thing to do... although I must admit, that had I been in a hurry I may not have done that.

Walmart...hell no I wouldn't point out their mistake. Small local business? Yes. Difference? Multi-Billion dollar organization that can afford the mistake versus a small profit line company that needs every penny (which if I had already decided to support, I will make sure I'm honest). Walmart's loss is your gain and the karma is probably on your side in that case.

It depends on the situation and the mood I'm in really.

If it's the situation you just described, I probably don't say a thing. It isn't the cashier's fault, but the person who entered the pricing that made them ring up that way.

If I get into the car and find some freebies in my bag, I probably just keep on driving.

I think the most common example would be incorrect change. If a cashier gives extra change I usually will say something unless it's just a few bucks because they will get in trouble for being under on their till.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
