Honesty Question

[New001]

I would say something. Also, smoking sucks.

For $133 I am an honest guy. For $1,333 my conscience may have to get over it.

This brings me to a little story. I was buying some birthday presents for my girlfriend, and one of the presents was some relaxation oil type things that she likes.

This was a pack of several, so it was going to be $55. The girl charged me $11. I spoke up about it, asked her if she was sure the price was right. I don't know if she was paying attention, but there was something wrong with that register. She moved to another one, rang it up, and again charged me $11.

I thanked her and walked off. I figure I've done enough by speaking up about it, and if she's dumb enough to make the same mistake twice, that's her problem.

Seriously, the switch is off on this chick if she didn't realize how much she undercharged you. Go on with it, I'm sure she'll make it up by charging the next guy $400 for a pack of gum.

I did tell the clerk that she'd made an error.

Honesty is a basic principle with me. Yet, I have to say, it wasn't fun to have to tell her what a huge error she'd made, and I was surprised by that. It's one thing when they forget a 12 pack on the bottom of your cart, but $133 bucks? Which makes me wonder if there's a limit to my honesty, and what that celing is?

Really, $133 is not a lot of dough in the scope of things. Why would I be less comfortable with honesty when the price goes up?

She did say thank you twice, but it just didn't seem very heartfelt. I think she was embarrassed.

As a footnote, I didn't tell my husband when I got out to the truck. Would you tell someone waiting outside what had just happened? Have we gotten to the point where we're embarrassed by what should be considered a virtue?

[Runkmud]

I'd tell her, the $133 means alot less to me then the job does to her/stocker.

No, you shouldn't be embarrassed for doing the right thing, even if it cost you money, and shouldn't be in a relationship where that's even a possibility.
