Hello world! So I work for a gas station (let's call it Chicken Mountain) that sells lottery tickets. As you may know, you can grab a paper slip of the game you'd like to play and fill out your numbers, amount of plays/draws, etc. My friend on shift received a few slips from a customer with the tickets totalling an amount of $50. The customer explained that he incorrectly filled them out, and the mistake resulted in a price 3x what he expected. Later, the manager on duty then sees the excess mistake tickets on the side of the machine and demanded that my friend buys them, even though it was completely the customer's error. Can a retailer legally force an employee to buy $50 worth of lottery tickets that they don't even play? I feel like not but I'm unsure. This is in Pennsylvania, btw.
Also: we can't void/cancel tickets, once printed the state won't void them, and mistake tickets gets the store in trouble. I still don't see how such an expensive risk should fall on the shoulders of some kid barely making $8 an hour.
