For reals? I sell very little on TeePublic…like $5/mo. They overpaid artists back in November and need everyone to pay them back. For me, that’s $.23. If you really need the $.23, I’m not sure you’re going to last as a company.
You don’t get to be an $80 billion company by leaving 23 cents on the table.
Or any company. Accountants absolutely hate Pennies missing. Dollars are easier to stomach but Pennies makes them nervous that some miscalculation that signals a bigger issue is going on.
But will there even be anything left of that after credit card fees? I mean I guess they are a huge company, maybe they pay less in those fees. Then again so are credit card providers. I’m sure they want their share too.
I once closed my account with BoA in person and they paid me out in cash. This was 2009.
I got a letter a few months later stating that they overpaid me and I owed them 19 cents.
I told them I had an FDIC notice that I no longer had an account with them and they could fuck off. They said that they’d “let it slide.”
They probably sent it to everyone they detected they overpaid, no matter the amount. I’m sure they don’t actually care about $0.23 - it’s the people who sell a lot more than you they are worried about.
Then they should probably run their business better.
I mean, it probably went down like this:
Accountant: I discovered a discrepancy in the payout system, we paid people too much!
Manager: Hey Engineer, somebody (not me) fucked up and now I need you to fix it, get me the list of everybody who owes us money.
Engineer: Yes boss! … Ok here’s the list.
Manager: Ok now I’ll just have Marketing send out an email to everyone on this list.
Engineer: Well some of these people owe us only $0.23, we don’t need to bother them, right?
Marketing: Too bad already sent!
True. If they had an ounce of common sense, though, they would set a minimum amount below which they don’t bother to send a message.
Send them $.50 and ask for your change.
This was my dad. He fucking despised capitalism and giant corporations, and forcing them to mail him a check for $.15 several times a month was his go-to antagonism. He might, legitimately have been a facet of the fall of sears and the one holding the USPS together, the way he forced sears to mail him a check every few days.
But only 90% of it because you’re generous like that.
Ahh, corporate hypocrisy:
