    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.

    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.

    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.

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