Morality question: Say you were buying tiles at an overpriced tile superstore. And the guy at the counter gets mixed up and only charges you half of

what you should be paying. Do you point out the mistake?

At Dominos the other day, the guy gave me an extra marinara sauce by mistake. I gave it back. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 14:53 1
- Man, I'm taking that marinara and I'm disappearing. No one ever hears from me again. Ethan freaking Hunt couldn't find me. nm - Dignan Mar 11, 15:29
I do -- nm - ty97 Mar 11, 13:56
If it's a local small biz I'd speak up, mega Corp, f'm -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 11, 13:27 1

I'll usually let the person know so they don't get in trouble when the mistake is noticed later. If they were a jerk then I don't - Krusty Mar 11, 13:27 2
- Krusty and I are of a mind. I don't want it to come back on the poor cashier. -- nm* - na-Baron Mar 11, 15:16
- right. -- nm - mud Mar 11, 13:36
I wish I could tell you why sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Depends on my mood -- nm - Pippy: Court of Fog and War Mar 11, 13:24 1
- This but even more so the mood/attitude of the cashier. I do nice things for nice people. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 13:26
Weirdly, it depends on whether he charged me for half the tiles or charged me half the price on all the tiles - oblique Mar 11, 13:11 1
- with the former it's something that could be detected later and get the fella in trouble. -- nm - mud Mar 11, 13:34

I don't do it but I am wrong. -- nm - Bacon Mar 11, 13:09
Did I find out at the point of sale or after I got home? Cause I’m more inclined to speak up at the time than later. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 13:07 6
- Stopping a mistake from happening vs pointing out one made. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 13:24
- That’s interesting. The passage of time obviates the inclination to say something? - Loyola Mar 11, 13:12 4
  - It’s often difficult to correct things like this after the fact. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 16:03
  - Morally, no. But for me, time obfuscates my guilt, I think. - JaxSean Mar 11, 13:21 2
    - i also feel that if they made a mistake, it's not up to me to spend my time fixing it... my time has value too. -- nm - colin Mar 11, 13:38
    - also this -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Mar 11, 13:24
