Went in Lowes at Wetumpka to pick up some stuff to finish a project. Paid and went out to the truck. Started unloading and then noticed a roll of duct tape that was under a larger object and check my receipt. Nope not on there (self checkout). So I marched back in and went through and paid for it. I hate when that happens. I do not want anything that does not belong to me! It does feel good to do the right thing anyway. I suspect some normal would just ignore the fact and drive away. Jesus would not let me do that. I thank Him for guiding and instructing me every day, every step if the way! I'm just wondering if this has happened to you?

I would have done the same thing! Well done

Lowe’s in Northport a few weeks ago, I purchased several items and I had a set of wrenches that had one of those anti-theft devices attached. I’m using the self checkout and I hand the wrenches to a girl there by the register so that she can remove the device, while I’m still scanning items and bagging them. She returns with the wrenches and instead of handing them to me she just put them in one of my bags of items already scanned. I could have walked out with them but I didn’t. I got them out of the bag and scanned them (@$70.00).
Even though it was a Lowe’s employee that placed them in the bag, I would have been stealing if I had walked out with them. Not a prosecutable offense under the law, but a sin that I would have to answer for. Satan tempts us every day, just do what’s right whether someone is looking or not and you will be blessed 10 fold.

At the range one time I had identical range bag with another member who had a Richard Heinie .45 that he had waited 2 years and 8 months for I'm at a loss to say why Karl wasn't happy with the 1927 Ballestar Molina with 7 Pachmayr mags I had at the time. I think my BM cost all of $255.00 and Karl was happy to get his Heinie gun.

That $5 roll of duct tape would have cost you $50 right down the road

Several times and same thing.

I went back in Walmart 1 time to pay for a $.99 fishing lure. I believe in karma.

I believe it!

I wasn't really looking for a pat on the back. Just curious when this happens to others. But thanks!

I did that the other day. I took it back and told the guy sorry but if I wasn’t having to do his job it wouldn’t have happened.

Karma can be a biatch so always do the right thing

I would’ve went back and paid for it myself. But unfortunately I know people who purposely don’t scan items at self check out. They claim if they wanted it all scanned they’d have an employee scanning them. These are decent people but their moral code is just a little off.

Several years ago I needed a couple bags of ice early on a Sunday morning. Nothing was open around me at 5 AM and the gas station on the corner had ice outside. I grabbed a bag from them freezer because they had forgotten to lock it up they night before.

The owner was surprised when I paid for it the next day.

This is why I don’t do self checkout if possible. Read an article recently regarding Walmart by a female attorney saying not as they start going back on peoples cards to blame their shrinkage on

Nothing decent about a thief.

I do my best to not use self check out because those machines are a companies way of not giving a persons a job
Now it makes you do a job their employees were paid to do

I always forget something when I step in the door. I can tell my self a million times I need this, this and this, I get in there and forget half of it. I have to write everything down now.

It's happened. My little girl had something in her hand when we got to the truck. I told her she could have it, but forgot when we went through the register. We walked right back in and I had her pay for it. She did so with a smile on her face. She really didn't understand the big deal. But she liked the praise the cashier gave her for being honest. That'll stick until she dies.

I do that too and make sure they know I don't work there. Refuse to do their work for them.

Eh they robbing us blind every time we walk in there
