    Braaaaaains So am I going to get in big trouble for this?

    I work at a store and today some guy came through my line with a PS Vita and a coupon for $200 off of it. I was kind of dubious at first, but the coupon looked legit as far as I could tell, so I scanned it in and this guy got himself a new PS Vita for $50.

    The more I think about it, the more I think I shouldn't have taken the coupon.

    What do you guys think my odds of getting in big trouble tomorrow are? xD

    If I remember correctly Sony vouchers have iridescent/holographic seals on them and some other signifying things. It's not unheard of that people get those kinds of things but it's extremely unlikely.

    That being said I had a $400.00 coupon fraud in my old store once and no one got canned.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Mostly I'm on edge because my particular store has fired like six people over the last two months. xD

    You probably should have checked with your manager beforehand but if the computer scanned it I don't see how you could get in serious trouble.

    You're a robot. Scan it yourself first.

    I think (assume) it was some gentle teasing. A nod to your years of retail experience

    As long as you can prove that you went through the proper store procedures I don't think there's much they could do. They might not be happy, but your job should be safe.

    Thanks for the replies guys, I was really worried about this last night, hence the thread xD

    After I had accepted the coupon and thought about it for five minutes I found one of the managers and showed it to her. She looked at it rather quizzically but had no other comment. Hopefully the cash office people have a similar reaction because they just love to rip into me for things xD

    Wait if the computer accepted it and a manager didn't tell you off then the situation seems to me to be a good deal less worrisome than I had thought! It was accepted by a mechanical arbiter, and you didn't try to hide anything from anyone.

    Nope, I don't go to /b/.

    Also those coupons are the exact type of coupon that I accepted, right down to the design and the "Smartsource" logo. Boy I just can't wait to get fired!

    EDIT: "Sony Computer Entertainment America, LLC Does Not Issue Coupons. Retailers should not accept any coupons that claim to be issued by Sony under any circumstances." awesome, wish I had known this yesterday

    Is it a chain store?

    If so, I wouldn't worry about it. :P
