That’s good people…
Saturday, November 29th, 2008Let me set up the story. I’m sick. Sarah’s sick. Jack is grounded for taking a shot at one of his dogs at his mom’s house. We just finished working on the nasty plumbing at the theatre I am on the board of. It’s the weekend after thanksgiving, and Jack and I are in K-mart picking up some poster board for a book report Jack has to do this weekend.
So we get in line, with our lonely 2 pieces of cardboard paper. I have no idea how they train the cashiers at K-mart, but communication is not part of it. Something, who knows what, was holding up the line. We stood there 5 minutes while the young man behind the counter talked to all the other associates that passed about everything but why we were standing in line. He finally turned his blinking “I need help” light on. I was not feeling well, and my patience was very thin. I noticed another line with an older associate was actually moving, so I jumped into it…with my $2.14 purchase.
She was at least making progress, when I saw a friend of mine and his wife walk up to her, with purchases in hand, trying to get her attention. Jack knows them as well, because his grandson is on Jack’s baseball team.
“I don’t think you rang this up right.”
“Great,” I think, as I wave to them. She overcharged them and now I have to wait even longer for my 2 sheets of poster board.
“You didn’t ring up these 3 sets of sheets, that’s about $150.00.”
Wow…someone actually being honest…and at a cost of $150.
“Oh,” the associate said, “I pulled the magnet sensor off, but never rung them up.”
“Yeah, It would have been stealing if I didn’t bring them back in.”
So, she rang them up and my friend ran his credit card.
“Have a good holiday”, I told them as they left. I was pretty amazed. I made sure Jack realized what had just happened, how h could have just walked away with the free sheets, but he did the right thing. We then got our poster board, and I didn’t really mind the wait, cause we got to see the better half of this Christmas.
“Where ever did you fine one?” you might ask. Well, not around here or the Internet, no. My sister-in-law in California found one. She called around and found a place in Glendale that had them.
So, Sudie mentioned how much is sucks to change sheets in a crib with the
