Think we've reported on this before...
Over here, Woolworths encourage you not to have a receipt (you pretty much have to ask for one!)

But, but, the reward points.
I bought my gps with points and 3 x $100 gift cards for my family. My purchase cost the same with, or without, so why not.

Received this email from a colleague :-Bought a lot of items (over £150) looked at the receipt and saw a cash-back of £40, told the Cashier that I hadn't requested a cash back & to delete it. She said I'd have to take the £40 because she couldn't delete it. I told her to call a Supervisor who came & said I'd have to take it.. I said NO! Taking the £40 would be a cash advance against my Credit card & I wasn't paying interest on a cash advance!. If they couldn't delete it then they would have to delete the whole order. So the Supervisor had the cashier delete the whole order & re-scan everything. The second time I looked at the electronic pad before I signed & a cash-back of £20 popped up. At that point I told the cashier & she deleted it. The total came out right. The cashier said that the Electronic Pad must be defective.Obviously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective because she NEVER offered me the £40 at the beginning. Can you imagine how many people went through before me & at the end of her shift how much money she pocketed?At Sainsbury’s last week, the cashier hurried a colleague along and didn't give her a receipt. She asked the cashier for a receipt and the cashier was annoyed and gave it to her. She didn't look at her receipt until later that night. The receipt showed that she asked for £20 cash back. SHE DID NOT ASK FOR CASH BACK!She called Sainsbury’s who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money. She then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her this. This is a new scam going on. The cashier will key in that you asked for cash back and then hand it to her friend who is the next person in the queue. Please check your receipts right away when using credit or debit cards! This is NOT limited to Sainsbury’s; they are one of the largest retailers so they have the most incidents. I am adding to this. My husband and I were in Sainsbury’s and paying with credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card signer he just happen to notice there was a £20 cash back added. He told the cashier that he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been messing up and she cancelled it. We really didn't think anything of it until we read this email.I wonder how many "seniors" have been, or will be, "stung" by this one????To make matters worse - THIS SCAM CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE, AT ANY RETAIL OR WHOLESALE LOCATION.BEFORE LEAVING THE CHECK-OUT........CHECK YOUR RECEIPT.
I was once nearly diddled though, Was a very pretty girl which may be what distracted me in the first place.

When I was managing a Wall and Floor tile shop, I had a staff member who was crediting customer refunds to his own bank account! Didn't get picked up for quite a while as many customers didn't check their accounts very thoroughly!

What about the fiddle when, say a Builder, shows you an Invoice (for what he has supposedly paid) yet does not show you the separate Credit Note for his "additional" discount.Or the end of year turnover rebate That's apart from the negotiated % profit that he had previously agreed with you.
