Possible moral dilemma: I went to the store this morning, bought all my weekly items I buy at this store...?

Question

(Dollar General) bought my middle son a shirt and spent $78. This also is a usual weekly stop for me, so I kind of know some of the staff. At the end of the transaction she folded my check and receipt together and placed them in one of the bags. I thought nothing about it other than they must be finally going to the turning your check into a debit thing like Walmart and almost all gas stations do. I came home ripped up my check and threw it in the trash, as I put away my items. My son so liked the shirt that we returned later in the day and bought another shirt $9. That check was not given back to me. I have since realized all this and even called the store to see if they do they check turned into debit, and they do not. I see nothing on my receipt to indicate their system retains any info from my check. Should I do anything? Or see if the store tries to contact me?

Answer 1

do what you think is the right thing to do!

Answer 2

Take the receipt back and have them figure it out. Of course that's the right thing to do.

Answer 3

So did she run your first check thru her computer, you should call the bank and see if that debit/withdrawal actually happened. Otherwise sounds to me like you got away without paying.

Why would the give the check back for a 9$ shirt on a $78 dollar total price? They give you the difference in cash. Or maybe I just dont get it.
