I was Shorted Three Dollars

Depends. like you probably would have just let it go but be a little more observant from then on.

@porwest I guess if it was not far and if it was worth it for around $3.

I would have not gone back, but possibly e mailed or phoned management to make sure the cashier is more on her toes.

It depends how far away I was from the place when I made the discovery.

If I was still in the parking lot I would have went back in, I have been there before and they would have to count the drawer to see if it was over 3 etc.

I would have gone back if I was still in the parking lot....had I got home and realized then I wouldn't have gone back and bothered....unless of course it was a huge amount, lol

I'd probably have done exactly what you did because the time and aggravation wouldn't have been worth the $3. A teller once shorted me $20 cash back at a register! The process to get that $20 was crazy!! They shut down the line...called over a manager. I then had to go sit at customer service until they counted her till and finally when they brought me $20 that was owed to me, I had to sign something and my question was, "What am I signing? I wouldn't have signed anything if she gave me my $20 the way she was suppose to, why am I signing something now?" That started a whole different process...basically, I was signing if her till came up short that night, they could contact me! Ummmm nooo...there are a lot of hours between now and closing...I'm not responsible for all that happens in those hours??? I finally was able to leave with the $20 they had deducted from my account and not signing, but what a process...for my OWN money!!

I would have done the same but next time I'd be more observant.

I'd go back but then how do you prove that they only gave you $3 and that you didn't just pocket the other $3 and tried to get them to give you more money.

I probably would have gone back. But with the lottery there are no receipts or anything so there's really no way to prove that you've been shorted.

They may have made a mistake too.

Depends on how far away you were when you realized it. Sometimes it is best to walk away.

I would not even come back.

i would go back and return it

I think I would have gone back. It seems little but just think if it happens again.

I'd have probably left it too. Hopefully karma will make up for it.

I would have counted my money before leaving is what I would have done.

It would have been too late. You always have to check change on the spot.
