If they were comping her cake, it would still have to be rung through the register. There would have been a new tag that was made with $0.00 on the price tag. That's how they do it at our Wal Mart's here anyway.. has to do with inventory or something like that.

I wouldn't worry about it, but obviously your conscience is bothering you on some level for you to even ask this question. If that is the case, I like what one poster said about calling the bakery manager, and telling them of what happened and then see what they say.

foryoubabyblue was right though, honesty DOES confuse those working in retail!!! They are trained to spot dishonest people and when a person who is trying to be honest brings something to their attention, they are not sure whether to believe them or think that the consumer is still trying to be dishonest in some way by the sheer virtue of their honesty! lol
