That sort of thing is factored into "shrinkage", because shit happens. Even the shittiest retail jobs aren't going to penalize somebody for that amount of goods unless the fuckup was egregious (in manner, such as the employee blatantly not paying attention while staring at their phone) or a repeated thing. It is pretty common for such situations to be pure computer error - the order got printed out twice.

Uh, depends on the workplace. You definitely can have employees covering the losses - I know we did when I worked in retail. Nothing egregious either.

@dragdealer: Just contact them and ask what they'd like you to do. They may just shrug and tell you to keep it, or thank you profusely for not being a dick.

I disagree with this advice.

I got it all, plus some, a lot actually. Legally I'm safe I wager.

But there can be no ill gotten gains without somebody loosing anything... some employee might have to pay for my shit, or, some employee might be safe unless I stir shit up. See if I knew the boss himself made this mistake, that would be a bunch of considerations off the whole issue.


On the one hand I did spend a bunch over the years, so like theyre loosing like 130 bucks of merch to a good customer and not some bum, on the other hand I'd like to return there head high.. I mean I most likely will, how would they know... but still.

Just assume the company itself is out the money and that asking about the overage could get someone fired.
Thus the best thing to do is say nothing and keep the stuff.

The cost to the company to pay for you to return the items is probably more than their replacement value to the company anyways, so the company probably prefers that you:
1) Keep the stuff, so they don't have to pay for its return.
2) Don't bother them about it, so they don't have to pay a temp/service/etc. to answer that phone call, or delay a more vital call to respond to it.
3) You could leave a nice vague review about the company. That might actually be worth more to them then the value of the stuff.

Just gonna say that if it was me and I got extra stuff from a big company I'd probably keep it.

How about from a medium-sized company?

Probably would depend on the company and what I got extra of.

Same shit, different subject.

You do this, then when someone opposes it you say "Oh, so you're opposed to [Thing seen positively] huh!?"

The Patriot act is another good example. A law that allows the FBI to surveil anyone they want to, but if you're opposed to it you're clearly not a patriot.

Difficult to be cruel towards something that doesn't have feelings.

School started a few days ago and I am already EXPERIENCING ADVERSITY in managing my tasks. It doesn't help that basically every teacher ignored the directive to not assign homework the first week.

For crying out loud, why are you giving yourself more to grade as if they're paying you enough??
