Ok let me tell you what happened today.........
John and I went to stop and shop to get dinner.....because my family is sooo cool they gave us tons of money and stop and shop gift cards so we could eat....We have been living off of Banquet Frozen dinners (they are so disgusting but they are also 1$)
Anyhoo we decided we would get dinner and a couple of things.......we got stuff to survive, and got all that good food we havent had in a while...money has been so tight.....anyways i had this 10% off coupon so i figured that would help...i have become quite frugal since we have been living in basic poverty..
Well we get to the check out, we decided to go through the scan your own order line because the other lines were full...well we were scanning and we got to the two taco kits....they were priced Buy one Get one..but they rang up both at full price....I called someone over because 3$ is a big deal now a days....The girl came over and pulled up the recipt before i could say anything...we had half our order to ring up....she said it was fine to do 2 seperate orders....we said we had a 10% off coupon and she said "oh well then pay for the first order and then we will go over to customer service to do the second order plus refund you the 10% from the combined total....that sounded good to me....
So i paid for the first half of the order which came to $26.45...and brought the second recipt over to customer service to deal with the other half of the order and the 10% off coupon (the second order came to $29.67)
When i got over there the customer service girl added up both of the recipts and refunded me the money for the taco kit and the 10%...then she handed me back the two recipts and said "Have a nice day".............
I didnt even think about it i just walked away knowing i hadnt paid for the second order......John kept asking me what was wrong, and when we got outside i told him....He thought it was hysterical, and we got in the car and went home...with $29.67 worth of unpaid for groceries...............
Well when we got home i started making the tacos and realized we didnt have the taco kits.....john called the store and they said they had our groceries......john went down and grabbed the bag and brought it home....the bag contained two taco kits, two cartons of cat milk, and a package of Ballpark hot dogs....the problem being we never bought hot dogs...and they werent on either of the recipts.....how messed up is that????? so we got away with $29.67 + hotdogs+the full 10% from the combined 2 orders....is that insane........
I know youre all shaking your head at me right now....but let me explain...I am not a thief, I have never stolen anything in my life....but it was sooo easy, and we so needed it.....I dont know...I feel sort of guilty, while feeling real greatful to whatever cosmic power set this up...........eeeeek
So am I officially a thief or was someone looking down on us who decided to give me a break........
What would you have done????
