My Best Buy EVER

[Shelby07]

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.

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

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.

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.

Uh oh...I have heard stories about your "fun-packs"

[ggiese]

I've been the victim of a BPP "fun-pack"...

Oh, boy - this oughta be good!!!

[toasty]

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.

Awwww, shoot! That's not cool. I hope this doesn't turn you off to doing the right thing. I know you probably feel guilty about causing this guy trouble for a percieved favor, but the employee kind of got himself into that mess. Good intentions, Robin Hood syndrome, or whatever you call it. You CAN'T be considered generous with someone else's stuff, only your own. A thief is a thief, even Robin Hood. It makes a good fictional story, but a poor lifestyle choice. He stole a profit from his boss and gave it to you as a gift. He has to be held accountable for that. It's his responsibility. He didn't ask you if you wanted the "special" price, did he? Were he giving food to starving children, his circumstances might be more mitigating.

Excellent analysis. However, toasty, I sincerly hope you sit yourself down and enjoy one of those smokes, and soon. You have done the right thing and deserve a break.

Very honorable of the employee, but I think the employee should have told you he was going to give you the cigars at his "employee discount". Sure would have saved him some trouble, don't you think?

[slcraiders]

Been sitting back and watching this thread progress. Toasty; For a while there, I thought you were going to be "toast". Just another asshat chased out. Good work in recognizing a mistake. Fantastic apology. Excellent form, Toasty!

[valuman]

$7.50 x 4= $30.00

Did I miss something?

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