So from now on I will pay very close attention while paying for things, tonight at the Bridgewater Sobeys the cashier was making an extra effort to joke around with me while I was paying. I was laughing with her and not really paying attention, Thankfully my husband was, I clicked accept for the 43.20 charge, and would never have given it another thought but my husband who was looking at the display noticed the cashier punch in an extra 10.00 as i was putting in my pin number and asked her why the total was suddenly 53.20. She looked very sheepish and said "oops I guess I am faster than a computer I accidentally put in 10.00 for cashback." At this point I thought it was strange but most likely an honest mistake, but then as my husband pointed out she had slipped the 10.00 out of the register and had started to push it under her register. She did apologize and said the computer automatically gives you 10.00 if cashback is chosen , she handed my husband the 10.00 and we left. It may have been a mistake, but the more I think about it, the more I doubt that, I was never asked if I wanted cash back and the last time I used that feature i had to confirm it, this time i was not asked to confirm, that and the fact that she punched in the 10.00 manually makes me wonder, glad my husband was paying attention because I would have missed it had he not been there. Please pay attention while using your debit card, better safe than sorry, this time was only 10.00 but it could have easily had another zero tacked on there and I still wouldn't have caught it because I was not paying attention.
