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.

    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.

    What a day. I get to the store at around 2:00. I see the same guy that I bought them from yesterday. I walk to the box of Opus's and no price is listed. So I tell the guy, "hey, I think you undercharged me yesterday. I only paid $30 for all 4." The clerk is whispering, "no, no...i charged you the right amount." Low and behold, one of the guys sitting on the couch turns up to be his boss and hears the conversation. He asks for the last 4 digits of my credit card to pull up the previous day's transaction. Turns out the clerk had given me his employee discount...which he really wasn't supposed to do by the look on the boss's face. I paid the difference to try to keep the guy out of trouble, but I don't know. He may be in some trouble.
