Dilemna

[Tal]

I had exactly the same experience the other week.

Just replace Ladbrokes for Newsagent and £100 for 50p.

It wasn't a dilemma for me. Just took it back and explained what had happened. If this is a dilemma, you've got a wonderful life!

Tipping £50 is obviously the nut low. The girl on the till gets pleasure from that until her manager finds out the cash is short and blames her.

Absolutely everyone knows that the right thing to do is to give it back. Any reasons given to the contrary are just people self-justifying what they know to be an immoral act.

hmmm not sure about this

Was it wrong settlement or miscounting?  Wrong settlement you can prob, just say what was the settlement of the bet and then sort it out.

If it was miscounting basically the shop will now be £100 down and I don't know what happens with that - are you sure that giving back the money will actually sort anything?  It might go into someone's pocket.  The girl might get sacked as she will be identified as making the error.

If the money was short - you'd have been shafted.

If I spot something like this as it happens I'll always give it back, but after a bit of time, I don't know.

Maybe give it to charity?

She definitely miscounted.  The correct settlement was £1412.50 and she paid me £1512.50.  I watched her count it and didn't pick it up at the time but looking back I can see the mistake she made.

Think you need to know what happens in a shop if they're £100 down.

The "right" thing to do is to give it back, but it's a bit pointless if you aren't really sure what its going to accomplish.

Uh...you're going to give a company its money back..?

If I had names blanked out and had to tell you who had written what, I could have put names to them.

Having been on the wrong end of various disputes, with Ladbrokes which end up with IBAS and never won, I would have called getting the £100 back that way, as being the Karma!

Works both ways, as you rightly point out!

Lol at people mentioning betting gods and karma etc. give it back every time.

[Kmac84]

In order of preference I'd

1) Keep it/  Give it to some poor unfortunate fucker who's out sleeping rough in that Wheather. (wholly dependent on how Skint I was, if I was up on the day then the guy sleeping rough gets it.
2)Tip staff for Christmas
3) Donate to Charity
4) Burn it
5) Give it back to Ladbrokes.

Karma is utter pish imo. 

But gtf with giving it back, you haven't stayed in Glasgow long enough sir. 

[ForthThistle]

Snap Give it back. AINEC!!!.

Come on you are potentially dealing with someone Job and its £100 ffs.

[Ironside]

give it back while doing so let them know which charity you support should they feel the need to make a donation of £10 or what ever for basically not getting a dressing down for till being short
