I went shopping with my young child for shoes. I pulled 4 or 5 pairs and we sat there trying them on. I could'nt decide between two pairs, so I tossed them both in the stroller and walked and looked at some more shoes. I finally decided on a pair, and went to pay. I was going to hand the cashier the other pair I did'nt want, but obviously forgot (You should also know that was suddenly in a panic to rush out of there to the nearest bathroom as I am newly pregnant, and felt a strong wave of nausea coming on). Anyway, I paid for the shoes with my credit card and rushed for the facilities.
It was'nt until later that afternoon when I was unloading the car that I realized what I'd done. Not soon after that the phone rang with the store's name on the caller ID. I was entirely too crippled with fear to answer, and spent the rest of the day thinking the cops were going to be knocking on my door any minute.
My main question is, if I go back to the store and reutrn the merchandise will I be arrested? It was an honest mistake, and I'm crippled with guilt. They obviously have my info...are they going to send the cops to my house?? I am terrified asto think what would happen to my baby if they did, and I am much too embarrased to tell my husband what I did.
AM I BETTER OFF RETURNING THE MERCH TO THE STORE, OR SHOULD I WAIT AND SEE IF IT TURNS INTO NOTHING????
