Hi guys,
I wasn't sure about posting this or not - but it's been really bothering me.
I saw a post on facebook that someone had commented on - basically the status was someone bragging that they had been in a shop and had bought a few items, and whilst querying the price of one item, had seemingly bamboozled the sales person into voiding one expensive item off the total, and so had 'walked out with a £35 item for free!'
Now I know it has happened on the odd occasion when someone has gotten home and realised that for whatever reason a small item has been missed off, and they've inadvertently gotten a freebie, but once you're home there's not always a lot you can do about it - but realising when you're in the shop, that you're only paying around half of what you thought you were going to pay - is akin to, well...er, stealing - no?
It seemed like this person was saying 'Oh well - silly salesperson, their mistake is my gain!'
And all I could think was - I hope that poor person doesn't get that taken off their wages, and also - how did you pay? If it was on card then surely they can track you down?!
Think I just needed to vent - this persons karma is their own business, but I thought it was a pretty shady thing to do - and thought how mad it would have made me, had I been that sales person and realised later.
Anyway - apologies if this isn't appropriate place for this
