I would cover them I once had a customer that bought a carton of Marlboro Reds and Four $5 Texas lottery tickets and he was $1.65 short well I covered it two hours latter I was getting ready to get off of work and he came back I thought he was just going to give me my money back but instead he had me cash in his winning ticket of $500 and out of that he gave me $100 and said thank you for helping me.. |

Paying the 17cents would be a nice gesture, but not a good practice to start - after all, you can't do it for everybody that's a little short. Some store also have a set rule against letting you do it.
I must say though, if I was in the line, I would pay it for them (and I have before).
Awww, I'm a softie, I'd probably do it if I was the cashier too. |

You have answered your own question well and I agree with you and would have done the same thing. |

If Walmart has a policy where you would be fired for giving him the .17, just go find a better employer, WalMart sucks anyway.
I would give the .17 to the customer. |

I would pay the 17 cents also. I've been there. recently I held up a line of people because the machine would not take my debit card on a $284 purchase. and I onl;y had 80 bucks on me. Eventually after trying for to minutes I had to go tothe service center where their machine took it ok. but it was embrassing. |

I would cover the 17 cents. There was actually this type of thing on a TV show last week. With a hidden camera, people were taped during different situations to see if they would help. Some people would even lend their cellphones to people and almost everyone handed over change when the person in front of them needed it. The people analyzing the tape guessed that most people like helping others and in this situation, we can see exactly where the money goes (as opposed to handing over money to a beggar on the street and not knowing where the money was going or if it was even helping them). |

You cannot let $0.17 slide by at Walmart's expense. That is stealing. Of all the companies out there, Walmart is probably the most likely to fire you and sue you for it. So that limits your options to these:
1. Ask for another method of payment.
2. Suggest they remove the cheapest item and purchase the rest of the stuff. Then, when they re-enter the store, give them the one item and have them go to the speedy check-out line.
That is all you can do! Take notice:
You CANNOT give them 17 cents of your own money because you are on camera. You should not be even touching your own money when you are dealing with Walmart's money. Even if you put 17 cents of your own money in the register, security might assume that you are buddies with the customer and you two are working on an elaborate skem to embezzle money from the company. You'll get fired and sued. |

I would never get a job at crappy Wal-Mart, BUT I guess it depends on what they're buying. Cigarettes? No. A jug of milk? I'd cover them. |
