got like a $100 angle grinder from Lowes because the cashier messed up while ringing it all up. I spent a few hundred dollars so I didn't realize until later when I looked at the receipt that it wasn't included

We use to get free lunch at a local pizza place. During the summer, we had a few friends who worked at a place and several of them would all go eat at this place at least one day a week. It would be a table of 8-10 people, we would go in there and go to their table like we were part of the group and just start getting food from the buffet.
At the same place, there was this guy who hung around with us, but he was always doing stupid shite to get in trouble. There was an arcade area.. So this dumb SOB drilled a small hole in a quarter, tied a string around it so he could put a quarter in the video game then pull it out. The dumbass was having trouble pulling out the quarter and for about 15 mins he was trying to get it out.. Untl the manager saw what he was doing. So he tried to play video games without paying for it..
We use to get higher valued baseball cards for free by going to this store where the owner's son worked the counter. We would throw him off by everyone asking to see different cards at once and he would lose track of what cards he took out and put back in, so it was easy to switch out the card he took out with another one of lesser value.
I got a free bag from Vizio.

Went to Best Buy. They had a "get a free pair of surround sound speakers when you buy a new home theater receiver" deal. I didn't really care about the speakers because I already had some but they are free.
When I went to check out the speakers came up at their regular price. The girl called the manager over who put in his code and told her to "Just change it to a penny"
The girl screwed up and changed the receiver price to 1 penny.
So I got a $500 receiver and pair of surround sound speakers for the cost of the $70 surround sound speakers that I didn't even want.
----------------------
You should have then returned the speakers for a $70 dollar refund.

I once forgot I put a 24 pack of diet cokes on the bottom of the shopping cart and didn't realize till I got out to my truck. Felt like I was in Oceans Eleven.

My wife and kids have 3 cats. We also have 3 dogs... that can't resist cat food. I buy the cat food about once every three weeks or so at the grocery, so I may by 60 or so cans at once Cashier looked in the basket.. counted ALL of the cans, picked up one can and ran it over the scanner like 59 times or whatever. She picked the one can that was on closeout sale for 29 cents. Every other can was somewhere between 75 cents and 1.50. I said "They aren't all the same price". She said "I'm not scanning them all individually, it'll even out". Oh well. I guess that counts? Other than that, I'm not a thief.

Similar to mine
I held a store clerk at knife point and he gave me a lot more change than I should have gotten back. I assume it's their job to count correctly though, so whatever

When "buy online pick up in store" first came around, I ordered a cable modem from office depot to pick up in store. My card was never charged.

I once got a free subscription to The Sporting News for 10 years. I bought a 1 year subscription that was to expire in 2001. Got it until 2010.
