This reminds me of the thread that says onions are the ultimate pathogen killer, and that if you have the flu and put and onion in your room it will turn black by morning and the flu will be gone. Humans can be so dumb.

In virtually every case, when customers complain about getting cash back from credit/debit card purchases without having requested it, the cause is that those customers didn't pay close enough attention to the prompts on the card processing keypads, or they simply pressed the wrong keys. (On rare occasions, a mechanical malfunction might also result in the initiation of an erroneous cash back request.)
Snopes? You must ask yourself how in the world they can research every event to boldly say "FALSE"? Even they admit at the end of the article there is a chance that it might be true. Come on.........

Of course, its always possible that an unscrupulous cashier might "Accidentally" neglect to give a customer some or all of a requested cash back amount and then pocket the money if the customer fails to notice the descerepancy before leaving the store
but we havent turned up any evidence showing this to be a common or widespread form of scam

As another pointed out, you can do a cash advance but I have never once to my recollection been offered such a thing on a credit card purchase at a store, Wally Mart included-- only on a debit card and nearly every time on a debit card at that. I check my receipts before leaving the line. Cash advances can be done at an ATM or through one of the checks often sent in the mail, which I promptly shred anyway.
