My Best Buy EVER

[basil]

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.

[Cabaiguan Juan]

Good decision Toasty. From someone who can get caught up in the "email wars" as it is called at my work, you showed class and good showmanship in your last post. It happens to the best of us (me yesterday at work in my case ) but I pride myself in righting my wrongs. Be it conscience, morals or values doing the right thing is important, even for those third parties who see our actions outside of how we see our own actions. Hopefully good karma will follow your good decision.

I will give you 3 raisins for that apology

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.
