Still not paid for it.Is there a time limit on these things?
Statute of limitations is 6 years.
Ohh and recently I was in a supermarket and bought 4 big boxes of nappies (along with a load of other stuff). When I got in my car I thought it seemed a bit cheap - it turned out they had scanned one and put the other three through without scanning (or pressing the multiplier button on the till).
Saved me £25 that one. Still - the way we get through them, they will soon make that money up.
I'm a Recruitment Consultant.
Lol! Touché... I have no answer to that.
willful deductions of wages without consent IS illegal.
Place I used to work at had that policy; till shortages came directly out of the wages of staff who were working that till. Consequently, I was always very careful to count the till on staff handovers, and not being an innumerate scrote I never had till shortages.
Got my wage one day to find that I'd been docked a till shortage. Kicked off, management disinterested. Long story short, I broke into the office and went through the close sheets for that day. The store manager had forged my signature on the paperwork. Being young and naive, I quit shortly afterwards rather than suing the barstools.
I should add, this wasn't some small business either, it was a large national chain.
...the threshold is your self respect.
Instead of giving it back, donate it to a charity. That must be even more morally sound
Who are you, Robin Hood?
I just give it back, it was probably someone made a simple mistake doing a menial job and they'll get their ass kicked for it when it comes time to cash in at the end of the day. As per above.
1p
It's not yours so make every effort to give it back.
there's no money like free money
.
what about those self-service tills in supermarkets where there's a little drawer where you get your change in the form of bank notes. twice I've gone to one of the tills and found a fiver in the drawer.
what would you do?
I was brung up proper and would point out that I had been given to much(as I always do)
Lots of people on here are happy to put low paid staff in a tricky situation or basically steal. I'm no saint but you lot are common criminals

Why, thank you 😆
well Molgrips, I've disagreed with you once or twice in the past, and I suspect that I will in future. But in this one you're absolutely right. There's an absolute moral obligation to return what is in effect stolen money. Theft is theft, I cannot begin to understand why some posters think otherwise...........Things have really started to slip in this country since those tory b******s got in power.
the same applies to pubs and clubs as well. Someone would have got a bollocking for the til being £10 short after your Red Stripe transaction
Given the staff don't tend to have personal tills from what I've seen, who gets the bollocking?
moral obligations aside how in the name of **** can it be stealing? Whats to stop some prankster on a till giving you too much change intentionally and as soon as you try to leave the store call security and the police in? Coz it'd get laughed out of court thats why. Theft my arse.
The last few times someone has given me too much change I've stood there for a minute looking at the money in my hand knowing somethings wrong and trying to figure out whether I'm better or worse off than I was, by which time the til worker figures out theres a problem and whips it back. Moral pitfall averted.
Donker, you're a plonker
