How honest are you?
I was at a farm/yard type store today. Selected my stuff including a large battery. Put everything on the counter, leaving the battery in the cart due to the size and weight, but in plain view of the checker. This store usually does that for larger items and uses a hand scanner wand for them.
She rings everything up and gives me the total. I look at it, realize it's wrong and point to the battery. She had not scanned it. She's apparently new and has to call a helper to show her how to correct the error and get the new total.
I could have kept my mouth shut and walked out with a free $60 battery. I don't know when or if they would have caught the error, or how they would have handled it.
What would YOU have done?
