That being said, it is also *nice to be careful not to get someone in
trouble for an honest mistake if you do correct them.

However, I won't put up with stupidity very well. I was helping my
sister buy a laser printer way back when they were really something
special. It was supposed to be maybe $1,000. It wouldn't scan and the
clerk tried 3 times to enter the sku number by hand to no avail. Her
supervisor came over to see what was the hold up being very rude to
the poor gal. The sup enters a number and it comes up as the same
brand but it is like a toner cartridge or something for about $50 and
starts to walk away. We called her back and pointed out the error, she
was insistent it was correct and straight out asked us if we wanted to
pay the $50 for the item or not. We did. Then as we are exiting the
store we figure the gig is up, the big security guard stops us, looks
at the recipet and the item, marks it with his pen and says "have a
good day". Sheesh.

I never felt good about it and honestly that printer started breaking
down soon after and we didn't have a reciept to use for return or
anything. Karma?

I didn't pay attention until I was pushing the cart out the door, and
glanced at my receipt.

Would you have gone back and informed them of the mistake?

In a similar vein, I was on my way back from Rochester NY to Toronto,
when just outside of Rochester I saw a burger joint and I decided I'd
best feed myself before the 5 hour drive home. Little did I know that
I was far enough away from the border that the girl at the counter
gave me a look when I presented her with a 20-dollar Canadian bill.
She hollered for the manager, who was a whole lot friendlier that the
girl who, by now, was rocking on her heels, hand on her hip, chewing
gum and radiating bad attitude.
The manager told her the exchange was 35% and walked away. The girl
stood there confused and annoyed and when I tried to do the exchange
for her, she rejected my help with a snap of her gum and a loud sigh.
She got a piece of paper and a calculator and decided that I was
'really' giving her $ 27.00. I tried to protest that the exchange went
the other way, but she would have none of it... just more attitude.
Finally I gave up. So.. She gave me 27 dollars, deducted the 3.50 ±
for the food and paid me $ 23.50 in US cash change.
I let it go. Didn't even feel bad. I was happy with the knowledge that
I really tried hard to help her.
Sooo, for 20 Canadian, I got 30 Canadian equiv. AND a free burger. Now
THAT is change I can believe in..WEG
