jumperconway 0 #1 June 1, 2005 I went to Target this evening to get a beard trimmer. Shopping for the bathroom, I picked up some shorts. While looking for the beard trimmer, I came across some luggage/gear bags! I found a nice roller unit that looks like it will hold 2 rigs and a helmet for $39.95. I checked out and the checker checked the bag to make sure it and only it was there! I checked the reciept and the bag wasn't on there! I called the number on the ticket and tried to get them to charge my card for the item that I walked with and they refused! Fuck me for being honest!

peacefuljeffrey 0 #3 June 1, 2005 I bought a set of fireplace tools for the fireplace at Sebastian a few months ago, and the cashier missed charging for them, so I thought the total was suspiciously low. I turned around and owned up to it and had her charge me for the andirons. I couldn't in good conscience give a gift that I had not had to pay for!

Icon134 0 #5 June 1, 2005 When I bought my Big screen TV 55" WS HD kind of thing... I had Best Buy deliver it (it was way too big for me to transport it in my Mazda Protege') Well, when the deliver it a day or two later... it turns out to be the wrong one... to my advantage by like $500... I went in to the store to tell them (I mean seriously I need to sleep at night...) I had decided to keep it (if I could...) and offered to pay the difference... The store manager came out and offered me like $100 off on the spot and gave me $200 in gift cards... and frankly I could once again sleep at night... Honestly, the right thing to do, is the right thing to do... and that's all there is to it.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

yardhippie 0 #6 June 1, 2005 i see a much greyer difference. I have done good, and I have done bad. Neither has advanced nor degraded my life greatly. So, I try to do the best I possibly can, and if I should get a break now and again its because somewhere along the way, I was the one on the other side of the coin.

Icon134 0 #7 June 1, 2005 it's part of who I am... Its the reason I called one of the DZs I frequent when I realized I hadn't been charged for several jumps I had done... I don't expect breaks or benifits because of things that I do... I just do it because that's the model I was provided as a child... by grandparents, parents, etc... I don't expect others to be that way... I wish I could explain it... I guess its only something that can be experienced... ok, I'm gonna step off my soap box now and remind everyone that I'm not in any way shape or form perfect... cause I'm not...

kallend 2,027 #8 June 1, 2005 I knew a guy who retired from the RAF after 20 years NCO service, and according to custom was offered a large crate to pack his household stuff in. RAF truck delivered said crate, which turned out to have a Rolls Royce Avon (jet) engine inside. RAF said they had no jet engines missing, and he had a very hard time getting them to take it back. Sometimes the hassle of paperwork is just too much for large organizations to deal with.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

dgm458 0 #9 June 1, 2005 I once bought some speakers from Circuit City that were on sale for half price at like $20 each. I paid and then they discovered that they only had one in stock and I bought four. I opted to wait to get all four at once. A week later they call and say that they're in. I go to pick them up and one is missing. Seems someone returned one before I got there and they gave him mine as a replacement. So I leave with three. 2 days later they call to say they've got the last one in. My dad picks it up for me and when he returns he comments that the speaker looks too big for what I'm using it for. I'm dumbfounded so I go out to his truck to look and I'll be damned if he doesn't have one big box in the back of his truck-a box with four smaller boxes inside each with its own speaker. I didn't say a damn thing because we put over 200 miles on our vehicles to buy those suckers.-------------------------------------------------- Failure to prepare is preparing to fail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #10 June 1, 2005 One day years ago I was in one of those specialty luggage shops in the mall looking at soft bags from London Fog. I picked out a suitcase and a big duffel bag, paid for both and left. When I got home, I opened the suitcase and duffel bag to check them out, and uh oh... there was a twin duffel bag tucked inside the suitcase that the shop somehow missed! Well I figured they were supposed to check these things before I leave with them so it's their fault they missed it.

Nightingale 0 #12 June 1, 2005 If I figure out that someone's not charged me for something or that the cashier's given me too much change, I always say something. I used to be a cashier, and I know the hell we got if our drawer was a few cents short. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
