My question involves criminal law for the state of: Oklahoma
I don't know how to explain my situation or where it falls in but its along the lines of retail.
I work as a 3rd party vendor for a retail store. The employees are nice and will help you out in need etc. They even offer their employee discount (even though against their policy) but theyre nice. 2 almost 3 months ago, I asked an employee to use their discount for a few items but it turns out that it didn't work out for me as it was unopened and unused. I went to a closer store to return the items and they gave me full price back AS store credit because I lost the receipt due to a hole in bag. I didnt want to ask the person that got the item for me to look up the receipt because it was paid in cash (which is almost impossible to look up) and its a discount product at that. Just like many retailers out there it is their policy and their decision whether they want to deny me of the return despite not having a having a receipt as long as it was unopened.
And the past day I get a text from another employee working there that they're "freaking out" because they used their discount for me. My assistant manager had a talk to MY manager today and he heard something that the person that used the discount on me should report me to his Human Resources and also to make things short the employee that gave me the discount, her manager and my assistant manager had a private discussion about this matter. Keep in mind, I didn't need it and I definitely didn't open it nor did I resell it on eBay or wherever so im thinking that they think I bought the item and selling it elsewhere. I definitely didn't steal this item whatsoever. I just received the item at discount price.
My question is other than an employee using their discount to make a purchase for me and me returning the unopened, unused item a couple weeks later what could the consequences be? Other than losing my position. This happened 2-3 months ago and is coming up now. Not sure how exactly. Supposedly my assistant manager overheard someone in a diff dept talking about it recently which this occurred a couple months ago. The items that i returned did not have any tracking number and it was at a different store on the other side of town. I will talk to my manager tomorrow as they do not know that I know about this situation (I dont think).
Advice, suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks
