The Bill I Didn't Have To Pay


--by Bluebell, posted Sep 15, 2013
I don't usually check my shopping receipts but last week I checked a receipt I was given for some clothes I bought for my daughter. I noticed that even though it said £10.49 my card had only been charged £00.49. 

So, I went back to the shop and told the lady she needed to charge me another £10 because she hadn't put the whole amount through when she charged my card. 

She said she could not believe I had come back to correct the mistake. 

I just smiled and gave her a Smile card.

I have to admit that i have done that couple of times as well and all the time the response has been "thanks for your honesty" and i also believe that if ii know that i did not pay and still did not act upon it i will pay more on something else or probably lose some money. Such is the law of karma it has the similar reaaction to your action :). Anyways thanks for sharing
