Best and most sensible solution I would say.

The young lady on the till said that will be £59 something pounds so i said no they are 5 for £5.99 she apologised and i paid left the shop and loaded the hedging into the car. Then it hit me each bag had 5 hedge plants in it. So i should have only took 2 but i took ten instead so in other words i paid for 10 which was just over £11 but in reality i should have paid £59 something is it my fault or the garden centre's? I just hope the young female cashier does not get in trouble as it is worrying me. Sorry i have gone on a bit about it so what would you do?
Think i will just think how lucky i am and forget it after all the garden centre probably will not even notice or will they?

Surely what you have done is theft, accidental but once you realised the error and didn't correct it, it is theft. It is a moral issue and up to your conscience really.

Anyway what are you going to do with 50 plants?

Good for you.

If you have any left and worried about them going for waste, you are welcome to come and plant some at my place.

I'll provide transport of course.
