Would you take extra change from Dunnes if the opportunity arose?

NewApproach

Was in Dunnes today, bought something for €12, gave €50, she went off to get change and I saw the reciept had been printed saying I gave €100, she went to pay me out the change from €100...

Do you:

a) Count your lucky blessings, or
b) Say 'I actually only gave ya €50.

Blush_01

I'd say it to the person giving me the change. It's their till that'll be out, they'll be held responsible.

Mr. Presentable

b)

I'm not a thief.

People strugginlg to keep their jobs all over the country --- Superquinn 200+ jobs to go -- This person would be out the door in a shot -- You'd have no luck for it.

Nah the guilt would kill me. I'd be thinking about that person getting in trouble cause their till was down.

If i got an extra tenner in my change and didnt notice till i got home i wouldnt go back but change of 100 is too much.

Exactly i don't know how strict Dunnes are but i worked in Lidl and each time you were over by 10 you got a warning (imagine what would happen if it was 50 euro) - three warnings and you were supposed to get sacked which isn't good when you consider you could be serving hundreds a day 5 days a week - of course the manager has leeway but either way its not nice when it happens - and if I knew someone who walked off with money coz of my mistake I'd punch them in the face.

Give it back, right away. I used to work in Dunnes and have seen folk fired for far less.

Doctor DooM

There's two types of people in this world.

People who take incorrect change, and shout at shop assistants whose jobs mean they can't fight back, etc.

And then there's people who have worked in the service industry.

georgem25

Its too much I would give it back. If it was only a small amount I probably wouldnt bother.

Kiera

You havent actually told us what you did OP. I bet you kept it and are going to say you didnt cause the rest of us are saying its mean.

Delirium

Nope, has happened to me a couple of times in different shops. Always told the person giving me the change.

AlmightyCushion

Say "Actually it was a €200 I gave you".

lol, it srossed my mind but being a gambler and a card player I said karma would come back and bite me in the ass big time so I didnt take it.

It was never actually in my hand, she was only counting it out infront of me when I said it.

But then I went over to buy some bananas (forgot them yesterday!) and they came to €1.23, I gave him €2, and he gave me €1.23 change. I said shag it.

Very wankerish attitude mate. They can lose their jobs over the till being out and accused of theft.

Pardon?

I'd say, "sorry, you've given me more change than you should have". It's what I would like people to do to me in the same position.

Sharpshooter

I would tell her / him.
I have been in queue's behind some very difficult customers and I really don't know how Dunne's till operators don't jump the flipping counter and smack them one.:mad:
Some people seem to think , that those workers are there just to take abuse and it annoys me so much.
So , to think that they might encounter a couple of these shoppers , and have their till short at the end of the day , would be enough to make me tell them straight away, quietly though.
They can get into trouble if someone in authority hears you saying it.

I heard AlmightyCusion built a Braille Dunnes Stores singlehandedly in Ethiopia so little brown kids didn't have to worry about geting their sight back.

It was just a joke, I wouldn't actually do it. Also, I used to work in Tesco and no-one there was ever fired or accused of theft for a till being out. Other stores might be stricter though. If they were going to accuse someone of theft, I'd say they'd need a hell of a lot more evidence than a till being incorrect at the end of a shift.

Brainz

it depends what the girls attitude was while she served me - i've come across a few cows in my time that have the souriest face on them with the worst attitude while serving you in the world - if this was the case id say thanks very much and laugh to myself :rolleyes:

now if the sales assistant was nice and pleasent i'd be handing it straight back-

i suppose different strokes for different blokes

How was it a joke? Stealing from people or companies is not funny. It can cost people jobs, some stores are stricter and 100 euros missing at the end of a shift is not small change.

Haringay council are looking for social workers if you are interested.

i worked there for a while. you would definately be in trouble for being 50 euro out.

And some people are just so rude. I had one lady with 4 bottles of water shouting at me that itwas half price. I checked and told her that she had picked up the wrong brand. She then cursed at me tellingh me it was my falt the signs were not right (which they were) and kwpt demanding free water untol the manager came and dealt with her

How is that not stealing? Saying you gave more to get more change is stealing.

On a more serious note, if it was a pub would you keep it?

Because it wasn't meant to be serious. It was an off the cuff remark that I thought would make a few people laugh. Yes stealing is serious but that doesn't mean we can't joke about it.

Uhh. Those customers were always the worst, even worse when it was at the end of your shift and you just wanted to go home.

KTRIC

I've been there and taken the money, but from Maplins, they're retarded so they deserve it.

It depends on the shop to be honest, the likes of Dunnes I'd never do it. But a pub or shop that has wronged me I wouldn't think twice about taking the money.

Take every Penny you can from these Bast@%ds.
The reality is Dunnes, Tesco and superquinn are squeezing Evey drop of blood form Irish manufactures. they take huge margin from Irish companies from their products and give the supplier very little. if you don't row in, you are de-listed and they replace you with a UK supplier. People should wake up to this> Just look at Tesco. Its never reported in the news paper because they keep most of the paper going with their full page colour adds.(don't bite the hand that feeds).
If you got change of 50euro keep. They have no regreats about thaking our manufacturing jobs.

Ok, long as you think you deserve to be fined/ fired if you ever make a mistake in your job, because this is effectively what you are saying.
