A few years ago, I made a withdrawal from my bank account and noticed (after I already got home) that they gave me $15.00 too much...I called the bank and returned the money.
And don’t think that the girl who made the error will get a slap on the wrist, she will more likely than not get fired. I worked with a girl that made a similar mistake but with less than $1300 involved and they absolutely fired her butt. With a company like Macy''s they probably have 15 people lined up to take her position.
The bottom line is that 2 people really got there items for a "steal" and very likely cost 2 people there job, now they will have the fun experience of making late payments while trying to find another job, having to explain why on the application in the last 5 years they were fired from a previous employer, but none of that matters really. What is really important is that

I wonder if the saleswoman who is loosing her job is Gutman''s fiance.
He clearly asked for our objective opinion. It is only appropriate for us to share our thoughts/opinions. both good and bad. After all, one''s action impacts the rest of society in the long run.Date: 9/28/2006 4:29:42 PM

Gutman''s case is totally different. Gutman had no idea a mistake was made til the vendor told him 2 weeks after the fact. He did not gloat over how he had fooled them, he took a lot of time to think about how to handle his fiance''s happiness vs. the mistake.
DH knew it was wrong, while it was taking place. Then, remarkably, tried to return the earrings to get a better pair.
No comparison.
Now that I''ve thought about it a little more, I think you''re probably right.Date: 9/28/2006 6:29:17 PM

I''m calling BS on this.
Macy''s does not operate the jewelry counters in its stores, so no one ''from corporate'' would have come down to approve the sale. Those counters are rented and operated by Finlay Fine Jewelry, which runs about 1000 similar counters in most big department stores. Macy''s just collects the rent.
