row_33 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 The two files I have worked on for this claim in reality had the couple laundering through an account or stashing kickbacks and when caught said to the media it had to be a bank error, wasn’t their fault, so they are entitled to the funds
Beast Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I cashed a check about 5 years ago and the teller gave me 100 dollars more than she should have. I went back to the bank and gave the money back. It wasn’t mine and didn’t want the teller to get into too much trouble. Edited September 10, 2019 by Binghamton Beast

Theft plain and simple. They obviously knew it wasn't their's. Two weeks ago I went to a Walmart self check out. When I looked down the bill exchange had a multiple bills hanging out of it. I didn't even touch it. I called over the attendant and she took it to the area manager. It was 5, $20's. The attendant said money is left on the machines quite often. A week later I was in again and asked her if someone collected the money. She didn't know as they hand it to the main office. If no one collects it, they eventually give it to charity. Months ago, I did Walmart self check out. Scanned and bagged everything. Walked out of Walmart with the loaded cart. Got to my car and realized I never paid. I went back in. Spoke to the person at the self checkout area. She told me to go to customer service. I went there and explained what happened. There was a manila envelope on the wall, full of receipts. She got mine out so I could pay. I asked her if that envelope was full of receipts from people who walked out without paying. She told me yes - happens all the time. She proceeded to tell me that once people leave the store, they're home free. Boggled my mind. Since then, they've installed the cameras that record your face as you're checking out. Hopefully they use that to go after thieves.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 What's the windfall the stores make scanning wrong price? Do they go back and credit your card, call you? Say: "Hey come on in and get your cash, your family can use it." Of course... It's on you to check... It's always on you, never on them. The game is rigged. I am not going to break any land speed @Gugny moral high-ground records to tell them their error... They wouldn't if errors were reversed. In the end, it evens out.

At least once per month, the local Central NY TV station website I go to, has picks of someone who walked out of the store without paying. The pics they show are usually someone with a television or two. Although the last one they posted looked like it must have been something small and expensive. When they do this, the date of the walk-out is usually two or three weeks previous. I always wonder why it takes them so long. I assume they eventually track these people down.

Best idea I have heard is to take the money and move it to a high interest bearing account. Whenever they come back for their money give them their money and keep your earnings. The longer they take the better.

They should have just gone to the casino and put it all on red. If they lost they’d be in the same position they are now.

Well I know one manager of a Walmart who works a side job because pay for low level managers is very low. No reason why she could not be both.
