If you are in a store buying a clearly marked $20.00 item, and the clerk only rings it up for up $2.00 by mistake, do you tell them about their mistake if no other store employee is around to catch the error, or do you keep quiet?

depends if the clerk is a ass...keep it. If they are an nice...tell them
-
I would keep quiet and act like i didnt know it rang up for 2.
-
I would tell them, because I hate stealing, and that is what it would be if I kept it.
-
I probably wouldent notice since I don`t pay attention most of the time, but If I did I would tell the clerk
-
Sorry but I would make out I hadn,t noticed. Then I would be kicking my heels and doing a little dance down the road!!

Sales clerks lead a rough life. Knowing how they are scrutinized for theft, mistakes, cheating and often asked to re-pay any losses effects my judgment. If I had been treated fairly by the clerk and store in the past, my conscience would not let me enjoy the money. I would be harming myself, diminished in my own eyes. (So, I am a wussy!) On the other hand, if I went thru a Burger King drive thru and got an extra sandwich or a couple bucks back in error, that would be a difficult choice. Drive thru's have ripped me off and I am due some payback!

Let's put it this way if you were charged $20 for a $2 item there would be no question right. Therefore you should say something. Trust me it will come back to you either way.
-
Of course you tell the clerk. There is no justification for stealing, even if you get away with it and even if you don't like the clerk or the store, and even if you really need the other $18, and even if the store is insured against thefts.
-
I would tell the clerk about his or her mistake.
-
Let it go, their mistake, not mine.
