WWYD? Moral Question

I went to Target at lunch and bought 2 items, a bottle of drano and a blanket from the clearance rack.  At Target if your purchase is less than like $50 you don't have to sign so almost immediately after swiping my credit card the transaction was approved.  I was not at all paying attention to the total. . . to be honest I was all excited that the coupon thing spit out a coupon for my contact solution and was staring it down to make sure the chic didn't forget to give it to me!  I go to a few other places and then when I finally get back to my office I look at the receipt and notice she didn't charge me for the blanket (like $12), instead she rang up the Drano twice.  So I got the $12 blanket for $3,89. 

Would you go back and tell them?  Or just think you scored an incredibly soft blanket for $4?!?!   I already know what I plan to do but I want to hear other opinions.

  • ehh, i'd just chalk it up to cashier mistake.

    This. For all the times I get charged more or don't get sale prices, I just figure it all washes out in the end.

  • It's a cashier mistake. I'd probably go back to the store the next time I was up there. If you don't want to, I'd set the $$ aside and put the extra in a charity donation (church collection basket, Salvation Army kettle, etc. I remember my mom doing this a few times when I was growing up. She said the poor people needed the $2 more than the store that mischarged her).

    This is what I plan to do.  I know there have been several times I've gotten home from Target to see I was over-charged for something and I never go back demanding a refund so I figure it works out eventually. 

    I feel like there are some girls on the national boards that would have a fit over how I'm stealing the blanket though!  Espeically after bananagate has exploded over most the boards today!

    I'm positive Target's gotten $6 from me so far this year (1 pricing error, 2 was a coupon wasnt rung up). It all works out eventually. I would not go back for $8.

    Its like playing Monopoly. Cashier error in your favor!

    I'm enjoying Bananagate. Its made my day just fly by!

    Not sure if it's on any other national boards or not.  Those three threads should give you a good hour or more of reading material though.

  • LOL at Bananagate!  That discussion has been pretty amusing. I never realized so many people were so serious about stuff like that.
  • OMG...you weren't joking about an hour of reading material on Bananagate!  And I popped in to ask one little question...haha! Wink

    On that same note though, what about all the people that go into grocery stores and read the magazines while they walk around or wait in line?  Those are about $4 a pop, and most people read them and don't purchase.  How is that not the same thing?  And it's a higher ticket item?  Just wondering....

  • I was just on one of the boards and someone in there siggy already has a dancing banana saying banana gate 2011. It seems like a slow day on the next.
