They typically find out eventually, & the biter is final election result.

Haven't had this; had a time or two when the manager just said keep it; it
wasn't worth the effort on his part to correct things.

If a nanager says this, I thank them.  If it's the cashier, I typically bring
the extra(if over a couple bucks) back another day to have the manager put it
into the till. (they'll usually recall the under recorded that day)

Which?

I recall how, in any lunch hour game in grade 6 & 7, I'd get a voplleyball team
together, facing off against the prettiest girls, then holler out, goof & loud,
"We're shirts!"; my meaning was quickly figured out -- alas, none of the girls
started peeling off their tees; the guys would, hoping their distaff teammates
would join in (never happened)

Other times I hollered "we're shirts," not to be pervy, but because it was cold
& wintry outside!

My city here has a bad habit of that.  Twice now our NHL team has made it to
the finals, only to lose that game, then there's a huge destructive riot.

I say, "You don't DESERVE to have a Stanley Cup winning season with behaviour
like that!" but thatr paints the good fans with the same brush, so I've stopped
saying that.

One local sysop, nig hockey fan, pointed out that he was happy even with the
loss, gfor our team, though not Cup winners, did win the Western Conference --
no small feat.

Me, I couldn't care any less about who wins what. . . was just happy on the
last Vancouver hockey riot they used camera footage to track down & prosecute
the rioters.
