Working The System

I’m not self righteous nor am I an angel.. but somethings.. you just don’t do. Owning a store .. for more than 8.5 yrs.. we see all sorts of people coming in to return broken goods.. or after using them during a party or a weekend. I think we pretty much seen everything.. and every excuses and reason they can come up with.

Some ppl think that we are a complete sucker.. and by doing something as dishonest as returning broken goods wouldn’t cost us money.. because it is the store.. and not us personally. They cannot be more wrong and further from the truth. The store is us.. and we are the store.. whatever we lose affects us directly.

So when i called up .. to let the local grocery store know that they had overcharged us for something.. but in fact .. it was me .. who got it wrong.. and i could have gotten away with it.. and getting a refund.. i can’t do that.. because that is being dishonest.. and like the man said.. and rolled his eyes.. “you are gonna get someone fired” but nope.. like i said.. we can’t do that..! how can you eat stuff that was stolen right..? The moral of the story..?? Are you ethical..?? or honest enough to yourself.. and answerable..?
