Hypothetical question for the Fediverse.
Say you buy something online from a mega corporation, like Walmart, pick it up, get a receipt, and take it home. Then a few days later you notice that your credit card has been refunded the full purchase amount. No employees should get in trouble, this item was completely an online purchase and retrieved from a locker. Item also can't be returned.
What would you do?
This has come up in passing conversation and I'm curious how people would handle it.
