You would think if that actually happened, the sales guy would have looked hard to see where he messed up, and probably would have called me to get the charges reversed. In fact, it wouldn't even require me present to fix the mistake. They'd just do a reversal in the system to reverse one of the credits. It's not like I wouldn't have paid them back if they let me know. I would have told them to go ahead and charge it back. I just wanted to see how long I could have gone with them not noticing. Turns out, its longer than I thought.
The washer was about $1,500. To a person, such as the sales guy, it would have meant a lot. To Sears, its mere pennies.
Now that I work accounting in another big retail company, I know what most likely happened is that the charge sat in the company's books for awhile as an outstanding receivable, and was eventually written off in the books after they couldn't reconcile the amount along with other unreconciled amounts.
