Have you stolen stuff by mistake?

after 12 hours of black out day drinking at spanishtown, i walked out on a food bill at a restaurant

called them and told them what happened and they were surprisingly chill about it

Bet they were not chill about it when they initially realized you walked out on the bill.

cashier told me she scanned the four 12 pack cokes i put on the counter. looked at the receipt after i left and noticed she didn't. felt bad, but that's on her.

i have done self checkout a bunch and realized i didn't pay for shite

i always walk back

i use a ghetto krogers and the workers are literally dumbfounded

Funny you say that. I was at a vineyard on New Year's Eve with some friends, and I accidentally dine and dashed. People were closing their tabs over the time we were hanging outside. Gorgeous day, and I didn't even really think about it. They didn't have us give cards or anything, so I was completely off the hook. I called back the next day and paid. It took the lady a while to understand what I was saying. I think initially she thought I was calling about a double charge.

This thread reminded me to make sure the charge went through. It finally did. I didn't want to have to call back.

Bahahaha done this.

They look at you like "what the frick is wrong with you? you just got free shite"

i got so drunk one night i forgot to close out my tab at a bar in SF. I went back the next day to pick up my card, and the guy handed me two of my credit cards. Apparently i was so drunk i opened up two tabs that evening. I'm not sure how this relates to your thread, but i just remembered this and thought id share.

When self-checkouts started being a thing, I had friends who said that if you discreetly tore the packaging of a case of beer a little bit, and scanned the bar code on one of the individual cans inside, that it would charge you the six-pack price.

So essentially, you'd look legit while checking out, but get a big discount on the beer.

When I was a poor college student, I was tempted to try this, but never did.

So you know when you are in a long line with one thing, and have the urge to just throw money on the counter and leave, DON't.
