My question involves criminal law for the state of: NY
I fudged up the other day. I was in a grocery store just under a week ago and in an attempt to save money switched a barcode sticker on an item with one that I had from a previous purchase. Upon SELF checkout, the machine did not recognize the barcode (perhaps the item was discontinued) so before the cashier came over I removed the code. The cashier looked at the product then went and looked for a similar item came back and manually put in the price which came to $14.99. I was forced today to go back and return the item because I need the money. When I was returning it the customer service person realized that the cashier had manually put the price in as a grocery (nontaxable) item and also 4 dollars cheaper then the item was supposed to be. They refunded my money but asked to keep the receipt because the cashier "made a lot of mistakes". My question is, can I get charged with anything in this case? Would they have to had caught me that day or is it on them for handling it improperly? Any additional insight you have would be great. Wont EVER be doing this again.:wallbang:
