Uh, depends on the workplace. You definitely can have employees covering the losses - I know we did when I worked in retail. Nothing egregious either.
@dragdealer: Just contact them and ask what they'd like you to do. They may just shrug and tell you to keep it, or thank you profusely for not being a dick.
I disagree with this advice.
I got it all, plus some, a lot actually. Legally I'm safe I wager.
But there can be no ill gotten gains without somebody loosing anything... some employee might have to pay for my shit, or, some employee might be safe unless I stir shit up. See if I knew the boss himself made this mistake, that would be a bunch of considerations off the whole issue.
On the one hand I did spend a bunch over the years, so like theyre loosing like 130 bucks of merch to a good customer and not some bum, on the other hand I'd like to return there head high.. I mean I most likely will, how would they know... but still.
Just assume the company itself is out the money and that asking about the overage could get someone fired.
Thus the best thing to do is say nothing and keep the stuff.
The cost to the company to pay for you to return the items is probably more than their replacement value to the company anyways, so the company probably prefers that you:
1) Keep the stuff, so they don't have to pay for its return.
2) Don't bother them about it, so they don't have to pay a temp/service/etc. to answer that phone call, or delay a more vital call to respond to it.
3) You could leave a nice vague review about the company. That might actually be worth more to them then the value of the stuff.
