So I was at Costco tonight and purchased a soda at the snack counter and was given a dime too much in change what would you do?
A) give it back to the cashier
B) leave it on the counter stealthily
C) Pocket it thinking its a pittance from a mega large corporation
Which would you do and why or would you do something else?
June 25, 2014 2:07 am at 2:07 am #1064131squeakParticipantI would cut off 10 cents worth of cup and give it back to the cashier. Its free refills after all, so I don’t mind paying for a smaller cup.

ShluffinParticipantGive it back to the cashier – don’t think you’re giving it back because you want the recognition, and the cashier thinks you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread. Give it back because it’s a kiddush Hashem. The cashier will be impressed with your human decency and attribute it to your Yiddishe upbringing.
June 25, 2014 2:24 am at 2:24 am #1064133☕️coffee addictParticipantyou know goq,
i was actually in a supermarket (non jewish) and i went to a self checkout and asked for 5 dollars cash back, and out popped a 50. (i guess it got there by accident) so i went to customer service to exchange it. when i got there they were more than happy to exchange it. when i got back to yeshiva (ner yisrael) i asked R’ Aharon Feldman and he told me i should’ve got more people involved to make a bigger kiddush hashem
June 25, 2014 3:23 am at 3:23 am #1064134HaLeiViParticipantIs it a Kiddush Hashem to act like an attention seeker?
June 25, 2014 3:48 am at 3:48 am #1064135☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantHaLeiVi, I was wondering the same thing. I assume he meant in a way which would not be obvious.
June 25, 2014 1:15 pm at 1:15 pm #1064136Avram in MDParticipantThe Goq,
I would do A). The dime in case B) would likely not make it back into the register. For C), it may not mean anything to the corporation, but it could potentially get the cashier into trouble at the end of the day when his/her register doesn’t balance correctly.
June 25, 2014 4:57 pm at 4:57 pm #1064137Bookworm120ParticipantWhy is this categorized under salad dressings? 😀
I probably would’ve given it back to the cashier, but if that wasn’t possible for whatever reason, maybe I’d donate it. But … is it mine to donate?
June 25, 2014 5:41 pm at 5:41 pm #1064138👑RebYidd23ParticipantPerhaps it was a salad dressing shopping trip?
June 25, 2014 6:07 pm at 6:07 pm #1064139TheGoqParticipantThat was just for laughs, being a cashier myself I know how important it is not to be short in your register so i did give it back to her, when similar things happen to me at work I am very appreciative.
January 16, 2015 12:01 pm at 12:01 pm #1064140TheGoqParticipantSo lets say you go to a restaurant for lunch and you buy a fountain soda that has free refills that you fill yourself, at the end of your meal would one be allowed to refill their cup and take it with them?
March 9, 2015 1:51 pm at 1:51 pm #1064141TheGoqParticipantlets try this again bump.
March 9, 2015 2:15 pm at 2:15 pm #1064142☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIt depends on store policy.
March 9, 2015 2:23 pm at 2:23 pm #1064143ubiquitinParticipantThe Goq
You have to ask the restaurant owner, he may not necessarily check ywn coffee room.
I’m curious what he says, please let us know
March 9, 2015 3:05 pm at 3:05 pm #1064144BarryLS1ParticipantGive it back to the cashier. It’s a Kiddush Hashem to do it that way.
March 9, 2015 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm #1064145TheGoqParticipantthey give you the cup how often you fill it is up to you i am just asking if the rights to refill go beyond having finished your lunch?
March 9, 2015 5:09 pm at 5:09 pm #1064146🐵 ⌨ GamanitParticipantIs this like by the Bronx Zoo where you can bring back the cup next time? If so, go ahead.
March 9, 2015 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm #1064147ubiquitinParticipantThe Goq
It may or it may not, There is no way any of us can possibly know. It is completly up to the owner. They can extend till you step out of the store, all day, all month or every year on that same date as long as it isnt a Wednesday. You have to ask him/her.
March 11, 2015 2:39 pm at 2:39 pm #1064149Veltz MeshugenerMember“Don’t do it for attention, do it for the kiddush hashem” is a non-sequitur. Do it because you are not entitled to the money, so your only option is to return it.
March 11, 2015 3:44 pm at 3:44 pm #1064150☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNah, they dont want your cup back.
March 11, 2015 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm #1064151TheGoqParticipantI was talking theoretically i just thought it was an interesting ethics question.
March 11, 2015 4:27 pm at 4:27 pm #1064152ED IT ORParticipantWas the soda kosher?
also gotta go.
March 11, 2015 5:33 pm at 5:33 pm #1064153☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantGoq, no such thing as theoretical in that case. It’s simply a matter of store policy.
March 12, 2015 2:17 am at 2:17 am #1064154JosephParticipantVeltz Meshugener: That is inaccurate. It isn’t the only halachicly valid option. It is proper though because it is a kiddush Hashem. And only that.
March 12, 2015 6:41 pm at 6:41 pm #1064155NeutiquamErroParticipantJoseph beat me to the punch. I am frankly astounded at all the posts claiming or insinuating it theft or the like, and it is simply a matter of ethics. To’us akum is muttar legamra. It is a kiddush hashem to return it, therefore you should, but make sure it is noticeable that you are Jewish, or even make it clear that you are returning it because you are Jewish.
March 13, 2015 3:12 pm at 3:12 pm #1064156Veltz MeshugenerMemberJoseph and Neutiquam: The reason you’re wrong is not because ta’us akum is assur. The reason you’re wrong is because you think it’s a kiddush hashem to make the cashier go to the manager and get you a gold star.
March 13, 2015 3:17 pm at 3:17 pm #1064157☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantVM, is that consistent with what you wrote earlier? If so, please explain.
March 13, 2015 3:25 pm at 3:25 pm #1064158TheGoqParticipantListen at Costco they expect you to take it with you, but a mom and pop restaurant I dont know what the expectations are.
March 13, 2015 9:59 pm at 9:59 pm #1064159JosephParticipantVM: If it isn’t a kiddush Hashem then it is most proper to keep the change.
March 15, 2015 12:15 pm at 12:15 pm #1064160the plumberMemberIs gezel akum assur?
