Yes, everyone on here is being very mature.

I have a small secret...one time I was in Wal Mart right here in Milton. The guy in front of us bought about 10 cases of Pepsi and 7up. He wanted to price match. I wasn't aggravated. I was actually kind of amazed cause I never saw anyone be so passionate about price matching. Anywho, after about 10 mins, the cashier finally started doing her thing and finished with Mr. Price Matcher. Our turn was next...she was so confused and aggravated with the price matching fiasco, she completely forgot to ring up my husband's steeltoe workboots ($169) but rang up everything else. As we were leaving, I whispered to my husband "start the car" and we left.

Was that wrong?

Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46)

322. (1) Every one commits theft who fraudulently and without colour of right takes, or fraudulently and without colour of right converts to his use or to the use of another person, anything, whether animate or inanimate, with intent

(a) to deprive, temporarily or absolutely, the owner of it, or a person who has a special property or interest in it, of the thing or of his property or interest in it;

(b) to pledge it or deposit it as security;

(c) to part with it under a condition with respect to its return that the person who parts with it may be unable to perform; or

(d) to deal with it in such a manner that it cannot be restored in the condition in which it was at the time it was taken or converted.

Would it help if I said I didn't realize it until we were walking out?

Depends on a lot of things... I won't think any less of you if that's what you're worried about LOL

Walmart has done terrible things to the economy so my heart doesn't bleed much for them.

No, but not because I'm above saving money, I just like to spend my money at stores that pay their employees a living wage.

What do you consider to be a living wage? And which retail stores pay such a wage to their employees?

We were just talking about "get in the car" moments the other day at work. I guess technically its illegal but you gotta take what you can get, good on ya NIT!

I don't know anyone who woulda yelled "HEY WAIT WAIT WAIT...YOU SCREWED UP!!!!"
It's one thing if I get too much money back...I don't want the cashier to pay for it out of his/her pocket, but this was like "hey you...here's a gift"

I found a $100 bill, folded up on the floor, at Sears in Montreal last month. No one near it. Of course I took it.

I think in Ontario it's around $17-$20/hr
Costco pays their employees well and provides health benefits.

Hmmm...you come off as a giant drunk asshole on this forum so I find it hard to believe that you're such an upstanding, God-fearing person in real life. But good try though.

You went back and paid for the plunger cause you left it in your cart. Your mistake. The boots were on the counter...the cashier took each one out to make sure the size was right. Wal Mart's mistake. And yes, I kept the $100. I didn't realize that there are suckers out there that would return money found randomly on the floor of some giant department store. But then again, you pour money into the Leafs so I suppose you're a fool in many other arenas as well.

Good to know we have thieves in our town. You feel good about yourself?

I'm not a thief but it felt kinda good saving that much money thanks to a price matcher!

Then don't shop retail/food service at all, unless it's Costco or Starbucks. Doesn't matter how shiny the store is or how high end, generally the employees usually make the same as Wal-Mart workers.
