Reply To: Was I Right or Stupid?

thanx nfgo3 i needed that.

vet, loews and lowes are 2 different businesses. lowes sells home repair and loews i believe is a movie company.

thanx everyone for your support. I just want to reiterate that in this case there is no way anyone would have noticed until the store took inventory because the none of us realized that when the cashier scanned the paint it did not register. it did beep so we thought it was included. I only realized because i am the type that keeps a general running total in my head as i shop so when the total was too low i realized something was wrong. We had bought a bunch of stuff so unless the person checking the receipt really checked every item which they almost never do he would not have caught the mistake. even if he had it would have not been a chilul Hashem because the mistake was that of the computer and we were in no way at fault. Had we just walked away no one would have been the wiser and the cashier couldn’t have been blamed because the paint never registered in the computer so no one would have a clue when it vanished from the store and how.
