My Best Buy EVER

[basil]

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.

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.

Yeah Sid - he should do something nice, or, do the right goddamn thing! I don't believe this guy!

Everyone is right. You should have went back once you were unsure whether or not you had been charged correctly. Look at it this way, the guy would probably help you and anyone else who comes into the shop as good as he can, which is shown by him selling you more than he was supposed to anyway. Seems like a nice fella to me. Then you don't have the integrity to go back and ask if he made a mistake and if you owe him for the cigars?
He did a very nice thing for you, the least you could do is make sure he won't get in trouble for helping you out. That's just my humble opinion on this matter.

I got this from a store, not a person...not a trade.

Hmmmm what do you think owns that store pal? That's right some guy trying to make a living. So you did take from a real person.

Solution:

Go back and inquire about the price. Maybe he charged you correctly for what you got and no harm no foul. If he did undercharge you and you are now back in his store bringing this to his attention most shop owners will say thanks but don't worry about it.

By merely offereing to correct the mistake you will reap greater rewards from that shop owner in the future than the two free sticks.

You make the call.

Looks to me like he's saying he's gonna make it right. I still have this huge exclamation mark hovering over my head though . . .

Guys, I did FUCK up by not turning around. Yeah, the greedy part of me at first thought, what the hell...I got them and was not thinking about the person getting in trouble or that yes, a PERSON does own the store, not a corporate machine. I SHOULD have turned back when I thought something was fishy. No excuses. I HAVE called and will call again tomorrow at 11:00 am when they open again. I got home, and very first thing I did was go on this thread and post, excited that I finally got the damn Opus's that I've been dying to try out. Basil and Puff, I didn't want to start a damn fight. I'm too old for arguing over stupid shit. I have a girl I can fight over stupid shit with. I love this damn forum, and am on reading and researching a good 4 hours a day. All in all, I APOLOGIZE to everyone that got offended and got a bad impression on me.

Well done.

[BigMacFU]

Now that apology showed class. Can we frame that so when posters without a clue need directions we can refer to this. Well done Toasty, well done. Smoke one of those Opus now, and smoke another in 6 months, and just keep doing that till they're gone. Take notes cause the changes will be subtle but interesting and always delicious.

Hey Jaewing -- I like the way you think. And you obviously type faster than I do!

PM just in from boosty:

Okay, correct me. Was it not in this very thread that it was stated that MSRP is $7.50 each? Was it not stated that since it was brought up that the guy may have to pay for it, that it WAS going to be resolved? (Called by the way and they close at 6:00. You can look in the yellow pages and call if you have any remote of a doubt. So yeah, I will call and ask what the price they are selling them for. If they are $7.50 each, then wow...it's a place that is selling them for MSRP. If not, then real simple. They can charge me right over the phone. So what else is there? Why did this take such a damn backwards turn. I've been cool about it, and u two have come off really fucked up.

Well, I'm older than you, but I haven't lost my memory just yet - I gave the msrp. You have not been at all cool about this. Think: If you were the store guy and you realized as the guy you just accidentally sold cigars at 1/2-price to is driving away, would you say, there goes a cool guy??? And I'm coming off fucked up??? You're wrong about that too. Consider yourself corrected.

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.

$7.50 x 4= $30.00

Did I miss something?

Edit: Yea, I missed the last part of the thread! LOL
