We were talking at work this morning between the four of us in our pod about, for lack of a better term, 'stealing'.

Last year the misso and I were getting petrol, and I went in to pay and accidentally told the attendant - who was on the phone - the wrong pump number. He put it through and whatnot and I thought it was a bit cheaper (I think around $5 or $10) than what it would have been. Anyway, drove off down the road and realised I said the wrong pump number. We didn't go back. Girl at work judged me.

This morning another colleague said she ordered some clothes from Portman's and was getting them delivered to her partner's work. They stuffed her around and took three weeks to arrive. Turns out they sent two of everything. She plans to keep them. Same girl said you have to give them back. I'd have kept extra garments too, ftr.

Where is the line drawn here with ethics/morals? If someone handed me back extra change at Kmart, I would tell them. But for example with online shopping sending you extra things (their error), I wouldn't bother about telling them.

Your friend at work is full of shit. Easy to say she'd return things etc but she definitely wouldn't.

I ordered a NRL jersey for xmas last year and received it after 3 days - 2 days later an a 2nd jersey turned up with no invoice. I've happily kept both.

Ordered 7kg dog food, accidentally checked out on postage rather than local pickup, called them up to change it to pickup and I picked it up. A week later they sent a 2nd pack by mail, I gave it back. Would be a bit of a dick for me to take advantage of a mistake I made

“Fella came into the store today, asked for change for a dollar. Well, sir, I gave him three quarters by mistake."

"Took me the whole afternoon to track him down!”
 
When we bought our house we paid for floorboards on one of those 12 months interest free deal. After a year or so we hadnt heard from them about paying so we got in touch.

They took our details and said they'd be in touch. We heard nothing so we went back again. Heard nothing so we just thought sod it. Was worth a few thousand quid, and we were happy to pay but if they can't sort their shit out.

That was five years ago now so I guess we got a freebie.

I think most people would do the same in our situations.

As I said, if I received extra change from a Kmart etc that I know someone would get in trouble for if their register was down, I would definitely give it back.

If I was undercharged though, I probably wouldn't say a word. Guess you can't really say until you're in the situation.
 
I was self checking out at Coles the other day. Scanned everything. Went to pay. Realised one of my items hadnt scanned properly. I fished through the bags found it and scanned it. Nobody would have noticed.

But im just too honest.
