I just made $10 profit by eating a burger

So last night I was with a couple friends for some in-n-out, I ordered a #3 which totaled $4.96. I paid with four ones and four quarters, one of which I actually got from a friend. What happens next? The cashier fiddles with the register and hands me back three fives and a receipt that says I paid $20 cash.
I'm a bastard and didn't say anything, I need the money.

This is the second time a cashier has been completely wrong with change within my group of friends recently. When we took a train to San Jose for a hockey game, our friend paid for a one way ticket, totaling around $5-7 and received $27 in change.


How much have the rest of you gotten out of cashier fuck-ups?

Yes, I know we're horrible people for keeping the money.

    Leaving tips is nicer than taking money. Try to do that more

    I don't think you're a thief if they give you the money. Just a butthead.

    I'm just glad that you needed the ten bucks more than the other guy needed to not get yelled at and maybe lose his job over a drawer shortage

    I have never, ever kept the money if a cashier gave me back too much and I noticed. My parents taught me properly.

    A couple days ago at my local pizza place, I got a dollar extra in my change. I was all "Here, I think you gave me a dollar extra" and the cashier just had an "oh shit!" look on her face. I'm a nice person because I don't steal from others.

    yeah if you had just mindlessly taken it and realized later "oh wait, they gave me too much" it'd be fine if you kept it

    but the fact that you knew right away and kept it anyway makes you a huge faggot

    In my defense, my friend and I had overpaid for a game at best buy earlier that evening, considering the other best buy we tried had it priced $20+ lower but was sold out.

    one time a cashier gave me an extra twenty by mistake and I noticed when I got outside so I went back in and gave it back to her and she was so glad that she showed me her boobs.

    They were pretty sweet.

    By pressing the wrong button.

    I used to do that shit all of the time, but I always calculate the change in my head anyways.

    That was the problem in this case. The customer paid 5 bucks in change, and the cashier rung it up as 20 bucks. Then the cashier gave him changed based on the 20 dollar mistake.

    Terrible training, stupid cashier, greedy asshole.

    Cashier will probably get their pay docked because they consistently end up short.

    "my friend and I" means "my buddy"

    and that's not exactly a good samaritan act, man

    that's just not getting a bargain

    wow, you're a piece of shit!

    congratulations on being a piece of shit!

    It's great how you fucked over someone you never met for what equates to about two hours of their work time, and then told everyone because you're so proud of it!

    you don't really know you're horrible, do you

    you think of it as magic found money

    speaking as someone who's worked in food service, you are trash

    I went to the Haagen Dazs at the mall and ordered a big ass shake, the girl made it for me and handed it to me.

    I have my wallet in my hand, just standing there waiting for her to ring it up, and she says "excuse me, I need to help the next customer."

    She has this little smile and I'm like well she either thinks I'm cute and worth a big ass milkshake.

    Or she's retarded.

    Either way.
