If they catch the error shift won't mayor. They will either ask for you to pay it back or they won't. So the question doesn't involve shift, it becomes a question of going back or not.

It sounds like you have already seen they aren't going to ask for it back. I have played at some casinos where i got a ridiculous amount of dealer errors because the dealer didn't understand the rules. Later the dealer was fixed. They obviously saw the errors and taught the dealer to deal the game properly. Errors were of numbers types and included giving you half your bet back on surrender but leaving the other half in the betting circle, letting you surrender on any number of cards, paying the BJ bonus on split hands, counting the ace always as 11 making the ace the heavy weight bust card for the dealer but allowing the ace to be 1 or 11 for the players, horrible math skills that had the dealer making lots of payout errors in the favor of the players (of course we pointed out all the ones that hurt any of us), and numerous other errors.
I played the rest of the dealers shift but didn't alter my play to take advantage of systematic dealer errors. A guy I knew that got in on it was surrendering most hands and altered play a lot to maximize EV caused by dealer errors. He only played the tail end of the dealer's shift while I played almost the entire shift. I got several thousand in dealer errors but as is the case so often when something like this happens I didn't win much. They never asked me for the money back but asked the player that altered his play to take advantage of the dealer mistakes for the money back even though he didn't get as much money in dealer errors. I think I remember trying to explain one error once but the dealer got cocky and said she knew better than everyone else because she was a long time dealer coming back after almost a year off the job. After that nobody was going to say anything.
If they ask for it back it would have been on the trip back you already showed them. I wouldn't worry about it.
