in Shop but don't drop
I went to ASDA today. My bill came to £67.48. I gave the guy £70. He gave me £12.52 change. I have only worked this out, now i'm at home. It was over 2 hours ago since i went to the ASDA. I have £10 extra change. Will they (ASDA) dock the cashiers wages? What should i do with the extra £10?...can't get back to the ASDA (over 1 hour away). Should i donate to charity or give the £10 to a tramp hanging around my area (who will spend it on booze)?

    The cashier won't get in trouble over £10 unless it has happened regularly. If it will make you feel more at ease, i'd give it to charity. HTH

    He looked like a student type, so i was worried he would be out of pocket. Not even got the receipt, with his name on...but i know my bill was £67.48.

    Your bill will have the store phone number, why not call them?

    The store will ask for certain details on your till receipt, those will confirm who the employee is ;)

    They definitely won't dock his wages. If you've lost the receipt and so can't say who served you, they won't bother to check up on it if you take the £10 back, it'll just add to asda's profits so either keep it for yourself or give it to charity if that'll make you feel better ;)

    you could use the £10 to cover all the overcharges they will have done to you over the years:rolleyes: that you haven't realised.
