i was worried i had done something wrong but i later found out it was perfectly legal.
As far as the moral dilemma goes - sod em. Keep quiet and just hope you get away with it. The shoes sound over priced anyway!
i thought that because she has tentered the goods for payment (and paid) she has commited no offence.
what happens if you turn the situation around. the goods were �1.10 but you were charged �110, has the shop got a legal obligation to work through thousands of reciepts it find who overpaid ??
i think that "because she has paid for the goods, she has the right to keep them." maybe not legally or morally the right thing to do, but she has offered them for payment and been charged...
after the sale, can a shop prove the goods were priced at the higher price ?
this is just my ignorance showing here. how can a shop charge twice for the same item, the second deduction after you have left the shop and without you having to sign for it ???
also, did the reciept state the full amount or was there a decimal point between the �1.10
how can you be charged after you have left the store, but cant return to the sales counter (after you leave the counter or building) if YOU have been short changed in a cash sale.
not doubting anyone, just trying to work how the system works...
