First, let me say I'm glad your getting to keep your Maddie. TG for your Angel!
Second, it sounds like the store clerk AUTHORIZED your check (card) for the amount of the sale but neglected to charge it to your card. An authorization only places a hold on the money for about 24 hours. Hotels and gas stations usually authorize your card first (before you use their room or pump their gas) and then, upon check out, or filling your tank they BILL the actual amount. That sounds like employee error to me and I'm surprised you'd be liable. |
