Hypothetical Poll #5a Options

[impala454]

Ok Since #5 ended up a lot more lopsided than I thought, here's probably a better one that might spur more discussion.

Situation (directly from a real situation posted on another forum I frequent):
You walk into a Gamestop store, to pick up Rock Band (full set, with all instruments, retail $160) for the 360 and Okami ($40 retail) for the Wii. You take them up to the register, and the cashier gives the total: $86. What do you do?

Well, I guess if we are going by that logic then, it's not our responsibility to help some old guy that walks across the street and gets hit by a car.... (see thread in NPR)
Really, this is why our country is going to shit...
We point out when registers ring up the wrong price to charge us too much, but not when it's to our advantage?

Because calling 911 for a person getting hit by a car is the same as paying for what comes up on the register...

Ever going to go to the tax office when they up your taxes on land too high? How about when its too LOW?

Somehow i doubt you fear god enough to go have the tax office RAISE your taxes when you KNOW they undervalued your land. You're reference to the man being hit by the car in regards to this situation is irrelevant and useless. Its not stealing, nor even dishonest, to pay for what you are offered in a store. If you feel like you want to pay the extra because you can afford to, and want to cut the store a break (like a nice tip) then you by all means can. Hell i have told a black jack table he wrongfully paid me before, and given the money back, that doesn't mean i think its "sinful" to keep the bank error in my favor.
