****** just grabbed a
LP here, if you left the store and nothing happened, nothing is going to happen.
Don’t under any circumstances return to the store and try to rectify the situation, as this is just an admission of guilt.
Enjoy your free thing.
As a former Canadian Tire employee, not only will nothing happen to you, Canadian Tire’s inventory management is so bad that they will probably never even realize something is missing. This thread is honestly funny to me. Sorry to hear about your mom.
I would say highly unlikely! If you didn’t notice at the tiem then I doubt they would see it on the security cam. If it’s going to cause you to miss sleep though (more than you’re already missing), if I were you I would phone and let them know about the mistake and let them know when you can be back. I personally would sleep soundly and forget about it.
The video is there to confirm the details of a known actual crime. There’s no way someone is watching this old video to find out IF a crime may have been committed.
Awww.
Nope, you gotta scan your own shit? Mistakes happen. No need to inconvenience yourself and go back and pay. Consider is your wage for a job the greedy grocers are trying to phase out. They make billions… 50 bucks isn’t going to hurt them. If they were that worried about it they would pay cashiers again to check you out.
I used to work in LP, if you made it out of the store nothing is going to happen. I don’t know where you heard stories about cops being sent based on footage, but that doesn’t happen. They do not have the manpower to review footage for every transaction, if something isn’t caught live it isn’t caught. Amazon wasn’t able to actually use camera’s and sensor to track product in their stores that were purpose built to do that, so Canadian Tire certainly can’t.
Personally I wouldn’t even tell anyone, I would just walk in with the item, go to self checkout, and pay for it and then leave. Mostly to avoid an awkward interaction with the customer service rep surpsrised someone actually came back to pay for something.
Where have you heard in Canada the police is showing up at people houses based on credit checks and surveillance footage. Sounds like China tbh. No you won’t be arrested. Go back to the store and pay. No harm no foul.
Fellow person in a law- based government job..
I’ve done this, and I was freaking out when I realized. It was close to closing so I couldn’t just go back and pay right away. It was a long night. Thought I was going to lose my job and go to jail and it was all over! It wasn’t.
I popped into the store the next day with the items, explained myself and paid. The cashier didn’t even seem to care. She just rang them up as normal, and I went on my way with the paid for items and the receipt. It happens, and I’m convinced they don’t really care all that much. That still doesn’t mean I won’t freak out if it ever happens again.. I’ve just become super vigilant when using the self checkout.
I’ve done this before, and I go back and pay for it.
When I worked at home Depot decades ago, if I had seen you tuck a weedwhacker down both legs and a socket set up your shirt, not only would I have not said anything, I would have helped you carry it to your car. Nobody working there cares about $50 walking off, and management isn’t going to have the time or care to review security footage and chase you down either.
If your integrity demands it, just go back and pay tomorrow. Otherwise, I would forget it ever happened.
NAL
I’ve never made the specific mistake you made, but I’ve done something similar. Short story long, I stopped for gas, impulsively decided to pop in for a slushie, and forgot to pay for the gas. They do call the cops when you do that. The police officer who came to my house was very understanding about it. I promised to head back straight away and settle up and he was fine with that.
I do volunteer work which requires me to maintain a clean police record. I freaked out and called a fellow volunteer who was also a police sergeant and asked him if this incident would come up in a police check. He laughed at me, said that kind of thing happens so often they lose count. He said as long as it didn’t become a regular occurrence, nothing was likely to come of it. My police checks still come back clear.
To second the comment from /u/November-Snow going back to pay could be worse for you if they want to dicks about it (but is unlikely).
If you have a guilty conscious, donate the value of the item to charity.
These companies have already calculated the losses from stuff like this when they setup the self-checkouts. If they didn’t want these types of things to happen they would hire people to do the work.
NAL – my understand is that in Canada, intent matters for theft. You cannot “unintentionally” steal something. You are not in trouble, I believe; however, give them a call and let them know what happened and you plan to come back.
This happened to me with a bag of bird seed from Walmart. Meant to go back the next week and pay for it but kept forgetting. They will not track you down.
No you’re fine lmao
I sure as hell wouldn’t walk into a store and openly admit that I shoplifted. Anything you say can be used against you in court.
Hahaha you’re fine. If you feel bad, go back another day and explain the situation. Or don’t.
Straight to jail
Corporations steal from you through greed-flation but you’re panicking because you accidentally didn’t pay them?
You’re going to jail forever!!!
Seriously, though, don’t worry about it. If it bothers you that much, just take the item back to the store and pay for it.
Just keep it to yiurself. If they mention it go hone and get the reciept and then agree with them and make good lile you never knew. They will leave thw situation liking you.
You’re fine. It’s very likely they didn’t realize the item you forgot to scan was missing until you were long gone from the store. Actually they probably still have no idea haha. At $50 dollars, I’d bet that whoever discovers it just says fuck it lol. Also extremely unlikely that police would go to a house call for $50 theft, unless it’s a repeat offender, which you’re not.
I really wouldn’t worry about it. I think you’re just fine.
Think about the shareholders!!!
Don’t make it a habit And enjoy your thing. Especially if you have no car and it’s not easy to just pop in after work, etc….
If they accidentally over charged you I guarantee they aren’t tracking you down.
Buddy I’ll share a story with you.
I was a struggling university student about 10 years ago and got into a criminally bad habit of stealing groceries. When I mean stealing, I don’t just mean taking an apple or two, I mean literally walking out of the store with a grocery cart full of items without paying a cent. Over the course of months I probably stole thousands of dollars of groceries from the grocery stores around campus. I’m not condoning my actions; what I did was wrong.
The reason I bring this up is because if I of all people got away with something as blatant as that, there is almost no chance a big store like Canadian Tire would spend resources trying to track you down for that amount of value. People steal shit from that store all of the time and these stores actively budget for that stuff. That doesn’t mean it gives us license to steal, it just means it’s an expected outcome of owning a store.
I honestly recommend just leaving it. You’re going to be fine. At the end of the day you didn’t mean to and these big stores try to fuck us everyday with their price gouging so I’m sure they’ll manage.
You’re going to jail!
This HAS to be a humble brag.
You won buddy!
Turn yourself in criminal.
You’ll be fine. If they didn’t stop you from leaving the store they probably haven’t even noticed what happened and won’t until they do inventory next. Don’t sweat it
Had a guy forget to scan a case of water that came back before we closed, dropped it off, and left. Don’t know why he brought it back to be honest
Op, Canadian here. Have done this exact same thing with a higher priced item at a Canadian tire. I still shop there to this day and I got a free thing. Don’t think of it as stealing if you didn’t know. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ unless you rolled outa there with a lawn mower or a BBQ, I wouldn’t worry lol
