Re: Indignant over 50 cents, what\'s my play
The numbers I posted are correct, I have the receipt. I usually figure out what 15% would be and then do my rounding up from there (so it usually works out a little more). Obviously since I have the receipt I would win any sort of challenge but if it takes moer than 5 minutes out of my life (which it probably would) it's not worth it for .50 (unless done purely for the principal)
I've challenged a thing on my debit card before (successfully) but that time it was like $14 and I had to fill out a form and send in a fax of the receipt and it took like 2 weeks to get the money.
So I don't think I'll challenge it
but my point still stands, this guy could do this all day and let's break it down
1. Most people would not even notice
2. Of those that notice, most would not care
3. Of those that care, most would think it's a mistake
4. Of those that think it wasn't a mistake, most will not go through the hassel
So basically it's the whole "steal really small from alot of different people and nobody will notice" angle (Office Space, Superman 3)
