if a cashier took your counter fit bill and wouldn't give it back?

By federal law the store cannot give it back if it knows it is counterfeit. They are obligated to inform the authorities.

Yes, it's distracting to the cashier and could also leave you with less money than you should have as change since you're not paying attention.

yes... without a just cause. If you quit and don't return something, they can keep your paycheck until you bring it back.

You scofflaw!\nOK the WORST thing is that you get charged with a crime. Theft by fraud (bad check) is a crime. \nReality: don't worry about it. \nAmount was too small and time was long ago, statute of limitations may have already run.\nIf the store turned over your debt to collections, it probably would have shown up by now On your credit report.\n\nHowever, you did steal from that store. Find out if they are still in buisness (God forbid your theft drove them under) and send them a note and the $. Get it off your guilty mind.\n\nAlthough I would not send another check.

I would give it back as much as I'd like to keep it.  Reason one is to keep myself from getting caught and getting into trouble and as much of a humanitarian as I'd like to think I'm NOT, everyone makes mistakes and I wouldn't want the teller to lose his/her job over it...unless they were nasty to me then it's a free-for-all.

YES! Once I needed work clothing for a new job. I saw some things I wanted but could not afford. I was at J.C. Penney's and I talked to the manager, explaining my plight, as the clothing rounded off to perhaps only $65.00....therre were similar items on sale that were actually nicer, and I pointed out that fact. I was not pleading, or begging. I was so sincere. I needed the clothes for work as mine had been stolen, along with all I had had, the manager allowed me to go through the check stand with a variance of about $22.00 that made all the difference in the world and yes...I can now say I have negotiated retail. No, I haven't done this since. I was amazed and surprised and still to this day grateful. Thanks.....

Show your receipt if needed and ask for your money back? Did I understand your question correctly?

look on the bill. it should have a phone # to track it. but yeah i would cancel the money order epsecially if it was made out for a lotta money and if you gave it to someone you dont trust.  but for organizations and stores and stuff, they're pretty honest ppl.

It's a way for them to limit your returns without a receipt. It was put in place due to the rise in shoplifting then returning items for the money.

Thanks for the points. But seriously. You paid for shoes and got two of the same foot? If you notice most stores have policies to have the cashier check that, so it must be common. First of all go to the store and demand the other shoe and if they don't have it demand full credit. It's a totally reasonable request. Ask for the store manager and repeat the same. They will give you what you want. If that doesn't work (which it should) and since you mentioned credit (if that's the case) call the credit card company and dispute the charge. You will hear from the store soon enough and probably end up with more than you paid. Unfortunately sometimes you have to make a bit of noise to get treated right.

Your friend is not commiting an offence at all. Shops are not obligated to accept all of the coupouns but most will especially if they sell that product. At the end of the day it depends on what shop your friend goes into and whether the manager takes them. If you know the owner then maybe they will take the whole lot as payment.

I say yes because I pay everything online and I can see that the payment has been accepted and the bill is paid. But my mom freaks out when she seems me do something like that and says that you should keep everything like that for a few years in case something happens and they say that you didn't pay. I don't see how keeping a copy of the bill could prove that you paid it, and its just a waste of space in my mind.

What ever you borrowed isn't worth the pain of having to call you to get it back....\n\nTry borrowing something more expensive next time...

You should look at the book. It will tell you. Why wouldn't you take it back to the place of purchase?

The cashier isn't required to keep it in that situation, but he can't accept payment on it, as it's obvious that the child isn't the cardholder.  But if he accepts the purchase and the kid knows the PIN, the parent isn't going to be able to dispute the transaction (disclosing PIN waives the right to dispute).  So he loses nothing by doing so.\n\nThere is a rule in law that children don't have capacity to contract: this means that they can't understand the nature of a binding agreement, and it is unfair to place such obligations on them.  I don't know how often it comes up in practice though.

They can not hold your paycheck because they "think" you "might" be a thief. They have to have you arrested and prove it first.\nIf they hold your check without haveing you arrested then YOU need to be the one to report a crime.
