im facing a moral conundrum. I got a guinness and a whiskey and a breakfast sandwich at a food counter in the airport. dude was busy and in the weeds and forgot he didnt charge me. so I just took it. My options are the following:
- Confess and pay.
- Just leave.
- Tip the counterperson €10 and say thank you.
- Tip the counterperson and say you forgot to charge me 🤫
what should I do folks quick my plane will be boarding shortly
Pay for it, if you don’t the wage slave behind the counter will have to cover it, or they may get fired for screwing up.
It’s not legal to take that out of their paycheck in the US. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen or they won’t be screamed at though.
If that places check out process is like every other eatery at an airport the check in and out process is madness so I suspect it happens often.
The staff member would probably just get a lecture and everyone moves on.
Having worked many years in food service I honestly doubt anyone would even know.
Since they’re using Euros it’s not the USA. Maybe OP should investigate this law in their area.
I’d probably just pay so I don’t have to think about it too hard but if you want to investigate further how it would affect the workers, I do agree that’s the main concern.
Yeah, fuck corporations but going to the eatery is entering a social contract. Don’t steal. Solve the problem in better ways.
