Guy Returns to Store, Pays Correct Amount (Php5k+) after Realizing Cashier’s Mistake

A guy returns to the store, pays correct amount (more than Php5k difference) after realizing the cashier’s mistake. His kind gesture made waves online, especially because the cashier’s mistake would have been deducted from her salary!

Guy Pays Correct Amount after Realizing Cashier’s Mistake

If someone makes a mistake and hands you a change that’s much bigger than you’re supposed to get or charges you an amount much smaller than what you’re supposed to pay, what would you do?

For some, that might be an “unexpected blessing,” but for others, it’s simply not right to keep the money.

That’s exactly what Rodel Ocampo Acuña experienced after buying from a grocery store in Pampanga.

He bought groceries worth Php5,388.45, but the cashier accidentally charged just Php53.88 from his debit account.

Neither of them realized the error. It was only when he got home that he realized the error. He was surprised to see that only a small amount was charged from his bank account.

Instead of keeping quiet about it and thinking it’s a “blessing” since it wasn’t really his fault, Rodel decided to do the right thing. He went back to the grocery store to pay for the difference.

He knows that if he didn’t, the cashier will have the amount deducted from her salary – and Php5k+ is already a big amount.

He originally posted the video on TikTok where it garnered over 1.4 million views, but the social media platform deleted it. So, he reposted the video on his Facebook account.

Reposting this to make sure everyone’s aware that one person’s blessing could be another person’s suffering,” Rodel captioned the post.

Hindi porket kulang ang chinarge sayo or sobra ang sinukli sayo e blessing na yun. Yes, you may consider it a blessing sa part mo baka nga kasi need mo yon nung time na nangyari yon. But the other person would be suffering ng malala kasi magtatrabaho sia habang nagbabayad ng nawala sa kaha niya. Imagine kung ikaw or yung mahal mo sa buhay ang ganunin? Papayag ka ba?

He explained that he didn’t do this to brag but to inspire.

Sharing this video not to brag what I did but to inspire others who think na nagulangan nila ang kapwa nila dahil sa pagkakamaling nagawa ng cashier or ng kahit sino pang nagtitinda jan,” he explained.

Remember, karma is digital. In an instant, something can happen to you or your loved ones. Iba bumalik ang karma. Not just one, not just two, but could be ten times or even more!

Common Errors or Mistakes Encountered by Cashiers

  • Double scanning items
  • Not scanning items
  • Entering the wrong numbers
  • Giving out the wrong change
  • Accepting counterfeit money

Guy Tries Viral “Inverter Hack”, Ends Up with 9k Bill

A guy tries the viral “inverter hack” but instead of saving money, he ended up with a ₱9k electric bill! Ouch.

Viral “Inverter Hack” Goes Wrong, Guy Gets ₱9k Bill

There are lots of viral “life hacks” on the internet, but not all of them actually work or are true.

Many of these “hacks” can cost you a lot of money or even end up getting you in trouble (like the teens who tried the viral “overbaggage” hack).

Recently, netizen Rheez Ramos tried out a supposed life hack using an inverter air conditioner.

According to this supposed life hack, you need to keep the air conditioning unit on, and only turn it off once a week. It’s supposed to make your electric bill go down.

Without checking the veracity of the viral hack or monitoring their electricity consumption, Ramoa blindly followed the “hack.”

Imagine his shock when the bill arrived — and it was for over ₱9,000!

He said that their usual bill was just around ₱3,000 but it has skyrocketed to 3x the amount because of the fake “life hack.”

He jokingly posted on social media to find the person who made the misleading hack — and I would probably try to actually find that person if I were in his shoes!

Paying 3x your regular bill is not a joke, though netizens also slammed him for not using science to realize that the “hack” was fake.

Have you also fallen for a fake life hack on social media?

How To Determine If A “Life Hack” Is Real Or Not

This is actually easier said than done because many of these supposed life hacks have very convincing photos, videos, or stories.

Here are some ways to avoid getting duped:

  • Try to check the comments section of the post — usually, there are people who either tried the hack and knew it didn’t work or those who can explain the science of why the hack is fake
  • Research on your own — often, there’s actually some scientific explanation why the hack will or will not work
  • Don’t try the hack unless you’re 100% sure that it’s real and safe to try
  • Ask a second opinion from a reliable person

Husband Fails to Get Flowers for Wedding Anniversary, Buys Land for Wife

A husband failed to get flowers for their wedding anniversary but still went viral after choosing to buy land for his wife to grow flowers, instead.

Land versus flowers? We’ll also take the land, please. LOL

Husband Buys Land for Wife on Wedding Anniversary

It is every wife’s secret wish to receive a gift from her husband on their wedding anniversary or during other important moments of their lives together.

Not everyone gets to receive those gifts, of course.

While many husbands are unable to buy gifts out of poverty or because they have other, much more important priorities, there are also who do have the money but just don’t like giving gifts.

Some women might say that they wish their husbands would just get them flowers for their wedding anniversary.

Recently, a guy named Kael John Canoy made waves on social media after publicly admitting that he wasn’t able to give his wife flowers on their first anniversary! Uh-oh…

Is he going to be in big trouble?

Well, not really.

It turned out that he wasn’t being thoughtless or had forgotten the date. Instead, he had other plans for his family.

Canoy would soon go viral after explaining in his post that while he failed to get her flowers on their first wedding anniversary, he was making it up with an entire land where she can grow all the flowers she wants to have. Awwww.

Would you rather receive the land than flowers?

Well, considering that the land is going to last forever, and you can plant all the flowers you do want to have, then we’re all voting for land, too.

Buying Land and Other Real Estate in the Philippines

Buying real estate can be tricky in the Philippines, especially because many are still under a so-called “mother title” or a title still under the name of the seller’s ancestors.

To avoid issues, try to only buy land that already has a “clean title” (under the seller’s name or just one signatory).

Getting lots from a reputable real estate broker or under a property developer might also be a good idea.
