    my guess is that your good luck will be his bad luck....he'll get charged for the cigars...so today he gets screwed...if you were prepared to pay for four...i'd go back and tell him you caught the mistake.....that's what i'd do...your mileage may vary..

    Do you really think that he'll be responsible for the 2? If that's the case then yeah, I'll true up when I go in on Friday. $30.00 is a lot to a guy that's probably only making $7.00 an hour. I think they are called the Opus X Perfexion's but I'm not sure. It's wrapped in Cedar with a Red Ribbon wrapped around the tip. The band says Fuente Opus X Rare Estate Reserve. Any idea exactly which Opus this is?

    Well, MSRP on Perfecxion #5's is $7.50. However, average price paid, according to top 25 is $9. There are 5 sizes (and prices) of Perfecxions.

    If they cost $7.50 each and you paid 30 bucks for 4, sounds like no foul. But it wouldn't hurt to call and ask anyway. The next time you ask for a favor I'll bet you'll get it.

    you "sweet-talked" him into selling you four cigars...that's what he gave you...that's what you should pay for...if the $30 was too much for you then you should have bought just two....or something that was more affordable....as for waiting 'til friday...how about if he gets fired because of the favor and the mistake....live with that!!!...



    he did you a favor...made a mistake...man up and bring him the extra money or the two cigars...

    Ok dude...I'm done with this whole conversation. As I already said, it wasn't till I was GONE that I realized what had happened. I doubt $30 short is going to cost someone their job like was brought up. Like I said, wtf is going on here. If I just said, I went in and had a guy picking up some damn Cheapos and took the cigars out of the box while his back was turned, then yeah...bring all the OUTRAGE and drama. I paid $30.00. If the MSRP was $30.00 total, isn't it remotely possible that that's the real price and I thought it should have been a lot more expensive when all these websites are selling them for $40.00 a piece? There is no itemized receipt, just my credit card receipt.

    i really hope some others see this...you're showing what kind of person you really are....if you think you only got charged for two cigars...go pay for the other two.....end of discussion...

    regarding whether he could lose his job...i wouldn't take a chance...it's called doing something nice for someone....maybe some day someone will do something nice for you....enjoy your two free cigars, you fucking turd....


    the first thing i'd do is to call the store and tell them a mistake was made...and go make it right.....remember...karma has a way of rearing its ugly head...or its good head...but it does go 'round...

    Nice try. you don't know what $30 dollars short in the till will do. Taking the cigars after being undercharged is just like waiting for the guy to turn his back to reach for the good stuff, except worse - you looked him in the eye. Now, maybe the cigars weren't marked and maybe you bought them without even finding out what they cost and maybe you didn't think about it til after you left the store. BUT, after you did think about it, you did, by your own admission, mark yourself fortunate for having profitted from another's mistake. That's wrong.

    Kama....hummm that reminds me of a story. Since I have a captive audience and this is my birthday I am gonna tell it. About 18 years ago things were tight financially for me and hubby. So bad that $20 dollars a week was all that was extra "fun money" we called it. Anyhow the more money I could save cutting coupons and so on the more "fun money" we could have. So one day after grocery shopping I am looking at my receipt and I notice the girl made a 7 dollar mistake in my favor when deducting coupons. For a fleeting moment I was extremely happy. Then those tapes began playing in my head you know the ones, treat people how you would want people to treat you . So even know I really was running late I went back in and had them fix the mistake. They said thank you and they were surprised and I was complimented on my integrity. All in all I felt even happier then I did with the extra seven dollars. On the way home I stopped at the conner store to pick up something I had forgotten and I bought a dollar scratch ticket, mind you this was not something I normal did with only 20.00 extra for the week. Anyhow it was a $1000.00 winner! This is one of many stories I could tell you about Kama it doesn't always work that fast, but it always comes around.
