... the gf and I are having.

A few weeks ago, I went to Hal's Harley in New Berlin, WI, and bought some new goggles. Handed over my card, signed the paper, out the door. A little after that, my dad gets a message on the machine. It's Hal's, and they're trying to contact me and found him. No idea how they got his number, but anyway...

I called them back, and they need me to come in, because the lady only charged me $0.66 for my $66 goggles. I go pay it.

While I'm there, they tell me that if I hadn't come back, the lady that rung me up would've had to pay the difference for her error. I'm not sure I believe that, I've never heard of that, and I felt a little weird like I had just been lied to, but whatever; I got $66 goggles and I was there to pay $66.

Girlfriend says I shoulda never gone back, it's their error, they're a big company, and they should've just called it a day. I say, what difference does it make, I paid $66 for $66 goggles. It would've been nice if they could've offered me 10% off my next purchase for the mistake or something, but in the end, who cares.

I guess I don't want to post this in the good dealer thread or the bad dealer thread, because it wasn't really... good or bad. It was a mistake, we all make them.

But I do need to prove to my girlfriend that I was right.

 

You were right. I would have done the same. And the dealer probably would have made the girl pay for her mistake. Just like when the kids order a meal from a restaurant and run away without paying, the waitress has to make up the shortfall. shitty.

 

Does your girlfriend try to get everything for herself at somebody else's expense?

How does she sleep at night BTW?

 

you did right.

 

the only advice that comes to mind is that after yall get married,have kids and get divorced and she is trying to get your last dime through all the various ways designed to do that.....youre gonna look back on this day and see it as a sign.

 

Absolutely!

 

you did the right thing.

 

I say "ya done good". Just my opinion, but to me that would be stealing, and I ain't a thief. It's called integrity.

 

More and more people today are willing to compromise their integrity for alot less than $66.00.

Good for you that you place more value on yours than that.

 

Ya done good. It was a test of your moral character & you passed.
