May be true, May not-Snopes "Undetermined"

Be careful and read your receipts..


OMG! YES! THIS IS TRUE! It happened to me at Wal-Mart (Supercenter
Store #1279, 10411 N Freeway 45, Houston , TX 77037 ) a month ago. I
bought a bunch of stuff, over $150, & I glanced at my receipt as the
cashier was handing me the bags. I saw a cash-back of $40. I told her
I didn't request a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take
the $40 because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a
supervisor. Supervisor came & said I'd have to take it. I said NO!
Taking the $40 would be a cash advance against my Discover & I wasn't
paying interest on a cash advance!!!!! If they couldn't delete it then
they would have to delete the whole order. So the supervisor had the
cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything! The second time I
looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of $20 popped
up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came
out right. The cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be
defective. Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective
because she NEVER offered me the $40 at the beginning. Can you imagine
how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how
much money she pocketed?


This could probably happen at any store where they will give you cash
back so be cautious.


Just to alert everyone. My co worker went to Milford DE Walmart last
week. She had her items rung up by the cashier. The cashier hurried her
along and didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt
and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. My co worker didn't look
at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked
for $20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK. My co worker called
Walmart who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money.
She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her
this. There is a scam going on. The cashier will ask for cash back and
hand it to her friend who is the next person in line. Please, Please,
please check your receipts right away when using debit cards. The store
has the cashier under investigation now. We can only pray that she is
caught very soon.


I am adding to this. My husband and I were in WalMart North Salisbury
and paying with credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card
signer he just happen to notice there was a $20 cash back added. He
told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said
this machine has been messing up and she canceled it. We really didn't
think anything of it until we read this email. Please be aware
