Last Friday I bought 4 discount movie tickets at work. When I got them out to give two of them as a birthday gift I had been given 6 tickets. Today I went back to return the 2 extra tickets. The guy thanked me and said he had been short 2 tickets. I'm glad I was honest.

BE honest
When we were kids we went to Sav-on on day with my mom (Nan) to buy a case of canned tuna that was on sale (and probably some other items). I still remember the man at the store multiplying the price of the tuna on the box using a pen. When we got home Nan realized that the man had undercharged her. She piled us in the station wagon and went back to Sav-on to pay the money she owed the store. The man was insulted that she implied he had made a mistake. She was happy to teach us about being honest.

Honest is best!
Good story! :) Make you feel good, huh?
The world needs more moms like yours and more people like you!
love it. way to go!! a few months back when i was in target, as we were walking out to the parking lot after shopping, i noticed that max had grabbed a candy bar and we hadn't paid for it (sneaky little guy. must have grabbed it quick at checkout.) i went back in to pay for it, and the teenager running the register looked at me like i was CRAZY that i went back into the store. he's like, "oh, just keep it! no big deal!" i said, "no, i want to pay for it!" and he basically wouldn't let me:) i probably should have been grateful that i got a free candy bar, but i was more annoyed that he was forcing me to be dishonest. haha
love those moments.
I'm always suprised to see how SHOCKED the people are when you return the item.
