Bloody hell, what a coincidence.

I was overpaid for the first time in ages in a Coral shop today (£55)

I had £100 on a 2/1 winner there last week, I asked for a price, the woman looked it up on the screen and wrote it on the slip.

When I collected they paid me out at 7/4 because "the price had changed before it was captured".

I so nearly kept the £55 because of this, but I didn't I handed it back.

The woman never said a word in acknowledgement or thanks.

Probably whooshed me but huh?

I did hand it back, not didn't.

D'oh.

Surprised to see you guys linking returning the money with the cashier's fate. They may be linked if you return it within the hour or something but once the mistake's been discovered that's that. Whether you return it or not doesn't change anything. The manager will be addressing the mistake, and the mistake of incorrectly paying a punter still exists even when you return the money. If you want to return it then same day is a must. After that you might as well decide how best to use it to max karma and I guess your choice of charity is the winner.

Aren't we going full circle?

I seem to remember the same thread about 7 years ago with you enjoying Sunday Dinner down the pub with you missus using your stolen booty.

no it was 7/4 instead of 2/1 being a difference of £55 that confused me

I felt like they stole £25 from me the week before. I was very butthurt.

Lol I remember that, Baker Street Ladbrokes as I recall. Just to clarify my advice was to the heroes discussing karma and riding into William Hill on a white charger the next day to rescue the damsel in distress.

As for myself, who lives in the real world, I think karma is pish. I also think you do the girl or the manager no realistic favours. Nothing changes but your own state of mind and my state of mind is just find.

I believe we had rhubarb & crumble for dessert. Very tasty it was too!
