I say "25" this goes on awhile, he leaves ( empty handed) almost closing time comes back and says " 20" I Again, say " 25" So, he hands me $25.00, and wraps the belt AROUND HIS NECK like a necklace, and away he went, happy as could be with his new necklace. I was so frickin' happy.

Btw, we did not tell their parents where these bikes came from.

PS I am not writing a letter of apology or sending a check to any member of the Walton's either

Ok more times than not, it has worked in my favor that I will go shopping and an item will go unscanned. I do not do this on PURPOSE, it just works out that way...

Like I will have a maagazine in my hand while the cashier rings everything up and by the time I leave the store, the mag is still in my hand. Not as if I hid it or anything, we both just forgot...

The most expensive thing that has ever slipped through the cracks was $200 set of flatware. How in the world that happened is beyond me and the man ringing me up... But as much money as I spent in that store and the run around they gave me on my china set, I feel it was well deserved bonus item!!!

Wow~ $200 flatware, I once got in my car and had a purse I intended on paying for hanging on my arm w/ my other purse. And once I had 3- 12 packs of pop on the bottom of my grocery cart,and as I pushed the cart to my car I noticed it. BUT to make things even I have forgotten to put the paid for pop in the car before and left it in the cart,and drove home without it, so I guess we are even.

Rhonda used to be blissfully unaware....now Francie has her mind in a whirl...wondering what that Guatemalen knew that she didn't. She has also taken out any silver colored item in her home and is presently googling each for information on lost relics

It's nothing personal, it's just business Or an opportunity.

Karma revisited me on that deal. We purchased bikes legitimately a few years later....guess whose bike was stolen later....MINE. Come to think of it...it wasn't my idea to buy the others for the kids...it was hubby's. Karma got ME by default...guilt by association

If it's happening more times than not....that's called shoplifting

Once I'd purchased a ton of clothing for dd. Get home, pull it out of the bag, at the bottom is a child's pair of Tommy jeans, dd's size 4T Original price....48 bucks (who buys toddlers 48 dollar jeans)...my cost ZERO. They must've been on the counter when the cashier placed my stuff on top.

If I get the run around....you bet your pippie, I ain't gonna clue you in on your mistakes. I consider those punitive damages for pain and suffering

Then I take it back cause I am not a shop lifter. lol Basically they are giving me installments from my credit card settlement case. It's like that Chase rewards credit card program. For every 100 swipes, I get something free!

Honestly if you have gone through the EMOTIONAL and PHYSICAL roller coaster that I did when I shopped at said store, you too would have been rewarded with a flatware set.
