Three men rent a room for $30.00. ($10.00 each)  When they got to the room there was no heat.  They called the man at the front desk who sent up a $5.00 refund.  They couldn't evenly split the five so they each took a dollar and gave the bellhop a $2.00 tip. Now the three men ended up paying $9.00 each because they all took a dollar back from the five. (9 x 3 = 27) Plus the $2.00 tip to the bellhop. (27 + 2 = 29)  What happened to the last dollar?\nI LIKE THIS ONE TOO !!

don't use the money, they most likely will notice that they made a mistake. I would call them and tell them that they are overpaying you. or go back to the office with the money and tell them what is going on. if they say they overpaid then you will have to give them the money back but if they say the money is yours, then you can keep it. if they ask for it back and you don't give it back, they can and will sue you, I am sure you don't want that

They will charge you. But if you explain that it is unjustified they will refund both overdraft fees.  If the customer service rep doesn't understand, talk to the supervisor.

I feel your pain-but no card higher price. The good news is you can use a fictional name and number if you wish when you sign up that way they have a spending record but no matching party. Most stores will let you just use the phone number and not carry the card. Stores use them to make purchasing decisions as well as set pricing. If you think 2/$7 is a value and purchase they will use that matrix again if not and instead you purchase the name brand at closer to 2 of $6.25 they adjust their pricing accordingly. It also helps them stock for holidays and create those convenient "most needed" displays for shopping ease. Yes I agree they are annoying but they do save you an average of 8% and with coupons I have saved as much as 32%. Most non-chain stores will not take coupons because they are too much work chains are incented to take them which is why they will even have double and sometimes triple coupon days. Believe it or not those cards reduce food waste as well because they are a more accurate gage of purchase than end of day weights and inventory counts.  Some of the larger restaurants are considering them and food service here in California that are located inside of grocery stores often have secret sales if you use your card at the point of purchase.

Yeah, I mean, it all spends the same, right?  LOL. Yeah, I pick up change off of the ground. I work retail so when I find change lying around the store I pick it up and put it on the registers.  People are always coming up a few cents short or looking for exact change. Anything in dollar form though I have to turn in.  LOL.

the trick to this question was in the wording and how the math was worked out in error\nthe  $3 they got back is what needs to be added to $72... NOT the $2 the waiter kept \nsince they got that back that is what you add... since the waiter kept $2, it is already included in what they paid

Twenty cents and a misspelling?

It depends on the company, on your profession/job and the mistake.\n\nIf you are lawyer and you loose a large case (and large sum) than one mistake is too much. If you sell shoes and you mishandle one customer they will forget you a couple of times.\n\nNevertheless, it is better not to do mistakes. And when it happens, admit it, ask for help for learning how to improve. It can ease the company's response.

Absolutely! It costs them money to accept your card. Also the fees change depending on if the charge is rung up as debit or credit. A local store owner explained to me that for sales below about $20 US, the debit card had a smaller fee. Sales greater than that and the credit charge costs less. \n\nI think we should work with businesses to help them keep costs down for processing plastic transactions because ultimately those extra fees are added into  the cost of the product. We will pay for it one way or another.

Can you break a $20.00?

I just took a dollar bill to the bank that I'd had for years. I always thought if you had more than half they'd exchange it. She said they want to see at least a couple of the serial numbers on the torn side. Which mine didn't have. She still exchanged it though. \n.

Call the company and explain the situation.  They can often reverse the charge on your account when you correct the situation.  Most places are reasonable.

Not knowing your situation, of course, but having had the same thing happen to me, I would guess that the IRS computers recalculated the amounts entered on the tax form which was submitted to them and found a math error somewhere which was in your favor.  \n\nWhen this happens, they usually send a letter which describes where the error was found, but the letter is not always helpful and may not arrive at the same time as the check.\n\nBest regards,\nP M Donovan

Owning up to your mistake is always the best. Be as apologetic as possible about it, demonstrating responsibility and regret. I've made two crucial mistakes in the past month. I sold the wrong Rx to the wrong person, although it was a fellow workmate picking up her mom's prescription (She brought back the Rx), and I closed the store before a customer could get their medicine (We had to close early, but I forgot that the customer was coming at the last minute). You just have to apologize and never argue with the call. If you do it looks like you are trying to wriggle out of a mistake you made. When management starts to try to right a wrong, they look at the first task, which is helping the employee understand how they need to act differently next time. If they see this is achievable, that makes them happy, actually.

Maybe you counted incorrectly or someone that live with you could be putting some money into your wallet!
