pgrahmm Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 You knew at the time & should have turned around and corrected the error.....I've done this and the startled look of gratitude made it feel very worthwhile..... It's possible the employee might have had to make it up - or lost their job due to the oversight.... Or - you were perceived to be a quick change artist.... I would've gone back....Even if a couple of days later.... It's been a month = you never had any intent to make it right.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I once had a situation involving a credit on the till for an item that had been incorrectly priced and which I declined to accept realizing after paying . In the process somehow I was given a credit that was in excess of the entire cost of the many other items I had purchased. After checking my change I went back to the cashier and tried to explain the fact with my wife assisting in Thai. With many smiles and explanations she insisted that I (we) were mistaken. Feeling quite guilty but having tried we headed home 50 kms away about 700 Bht plus goods up on the day. About 15 minutes into that drive home my wife got a frantic telephone call to her number linked to Customer Card Benefit details. A 15 minute wait on the roadside and the panicked and embarrassed young cashier arrived on her motorcycle to receive the balance we had attempted to refund. On a subsequent visit to that same large shop we learned that she had been fired for it despite recovering the cash and balancing her till.

Sujo Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 If noticed on the spot give it back. If noticed later only give it to the person direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff have to make up any discrepancy, so that's hurting innocent people that make sod all anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was so relieved and gave me a very nice wai, i imagine she would be held accountable for any mistakes in the takings and the mistake in change was probably more than her days salary. I once presented travellers cheques in a bank that amounted to about 500,000 baht and they tried to give me a million baht. Can't say I wasn't tempted but I told them before they handed over the cash. I don't recall any nice wais, but she did say thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaver Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Perhaps ask yourself this question, "What would you do if you got home and discovered you were short changed?" What would be the chances of you receiving your money back? Let's be honest, it's zero. Would she admit to short changing you? Would the manager accept your story? No. The Thai's rip farang off with impunity, should you lower yourself to their level? Certainly a moral dilemma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
