Self-sighting on my part....>.<

[fireheart]

So I went out today to buy some t-shirt transfer paper to do up a design for my boyfriend (I'm giving him 2 t-shirts over Christmas-one that I made for him and another one online). I managed to find a pack of paper-after getting directions from my sister on where she bought hers. On top was a stack covered in plastic. I just grabbed that, clearly not thinking.

So I go and buy it, scan the only visible barcode that worked, pay and walk out. The girl checked my bag, but she didn't realise that I had too many packs (I used a self-scan)

I go to my counselling appointment and while I'm waiting in the cool, I rip open the pack to check it out.

And then I discover-I accidentally grabbed 5 packs of t-shirt paper instead of 1. Embarassing much?

So I headed back to the store I bought it from and explained my situation. The girl turned out to be just as confused as I was until she headed over to the department where I got them from-and realised that the t-shirt transfers come in one cardboard sleeve of 5, not 5 cardboard sleeves of 1.



She thanked me for my honesty and I left with the single pack of t-shirt transfer paper. (and now I'm gonna make a t-shirt with either a CS.com comic (when I get permission) or a quote of some description)

I don't see any suck - you went back and fixed the mistake!

Yeah, definitely, honest mistake. There are a ton of people, I'm sure, who either wouldn't have realized it even after they opened the pack, or wouldn't have bothered going back even if they did realize it. Kudos to you.

No suck at all, you are an honest person. I read the MSN message boards sometimes and there was recently a person who wasn't charged for $300 worth of furniture (baby items). People were debating whether or not she should inform the store. Unbelievable how many people said she should take it and run.

You're full of awesome for being honest!

So the packs of tshirt paper were in cardboard sleeves of 5, and people were just meant to take however many they wanted out of the sleeves? It doesn't seem like a good way of displaying them to begin with -- either more people will grab 5 when they only wanted 1, and even if people do just grab how many they want out of the sleeve of 5, eventually they'll be left with a lot of empty sleeves people have to dig through to find the paper they want...

No I accidentally grabbed 5 sleeves instead of just 1 sleeve of 5.
