Wow !   Thanks for sharing Shirley H.   You bet , I will check this very carefully from now on..............never heard of this before.    Sam My cousin sent the following to me.. whether true or not good to always check the receipt! Shirley H check your  receipts Yes! This is  True! It happened to me at  Wal-Mart (Super Store on Clinton Highway, Knoxville  TN) a month ago.  I bought a bunch of stuff, over  $150.00, and I glanced at my receipt as the cashier was handing me the  bags.  I saw a cash-back of $40.00.  I told her I didn't request a  cash back and to delete it.  She said I'd have to take the $40.00 because  she couldn't delete it.  I told her to call a supervisor.   Supervisor came and said I'd have to take it.  I said NO! Taking the  $40.00 would be a cash advance against my Discover and 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 and re-scan everything!  The second time I looked  at the electronic pad before I signed and a cash-back of $20.00 popped  up.  At that point I told the cashier and she deleted it.  The total  came out right.  The cashier agreed that the electronic pad must be  defective.  Ob! viously the cashier knew the electronic pad was defective  because she NEVER offered me the $40.00 at the beginning.  Can you  imagine how many people went through before me and at the end of her shift how  much money she pocketed? This could probably  happen at any store where they give you cash back, so be cautious. Just to alert  everyone.  My co worker went to another Wal-Mart in west Knoxville last week.  She had her items rung up by the  cashier.  The cashier hurried her 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.  My co worker didn't look at her receipt until later  that night.  The receipt showed that she asked for $20.00 cash  back.  She did not ask for cash back!  My co worker called Wal-Mart  who investigated but could not see the cashier pocket the money.  My co  worker then called her niece who works for the bank and her niece told her  this.  There is a scam going on.  The cashier will ask for cash back  and hand it to her friend who is the next person in line. Please, Please check  your receipts right away when using debit cards.  The store has the  cashier under investigation now.  We can only pray that she is caught  very soon. Nan  Herman I am adding to  this.    My  husband and I were in Wal-Mart in Pigeon Forge, Saturday and paying with  credit card when my husband went to sign the credit card signer he just  happened to notice there was a $20.00 cash back added.  He told the  cashier he did not ask nor want cash back and she said this machine has been  messing up and she canceled it.  We really didn't think anything of it  until we read this email.  Please be aware. KAT CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS  VERY CAREFULLY! . Let  me add that this also happened to me last week at the Walker Springs Wal-mart.  I did NOT ask for cash back, but my receipt showed that I had.
