We have a little Express mart in town that the local Pakistanis operate. I am in this place 2-3 times a day. The other day gas was $2.78 a gallon. I noticed on the pump someone bought $2 worth of gas then noticed it was 8-9 gallons. The price had been set wrong on pump.....they were charging .278 per gallon :S

Would you filler up or tell??

I would tell them,yesterday was writing up an invoice forgot what i charged the customer so i look at my quote i gave them,turns out i made a mistake and charged them a re-roof price and it was a new construction job,and it felt good just being honest,but i must admit they were pretty surprised(and thankful)that i actually said something...go figure..

I'll answer with what I've done in the past with my own life. A customer of mine made the mistake of being talked into a quick fix on her roof. Had it painted . When it failed she was in a pinch . Because I believe in community I did the roof for cost . Another friend had a weather vain on his roof that when removed just made a hole in the sky over his house . He wasn't home when I fixed it . He calls asks how much ? It was worth just seeing his house whole again . We parted good friends . Be a " right " force in your communities . Do the right thing " boys "

Well...I started to fill my truck up, go home get my other truck and call my daughter and all our friends and tell them to fill up while cheap, but man I felt bad for the guy at the station.

I dont know who made the pricing mistake, the owner or the young guy who works the station....but I do know someone took advantage of the situation on all 4 pumps. After I seen the mistake on the 1 pump I checked the other 3 pumps and they had all been hit hard. 1 of them had 58 gallons of premium fuel for like $15!! The other one had 38 gallons for less than $10.....if them pumps were like that for very long they lost a lot of $$$.

As hard as times are I just couldnt do it....he is trying to make a legal living like the rest of us. I have never liked people who steal....and even though technically this wouldnt have been "stealing", it would bother me.

I told him his premium price was messed up and he about died....he had no clue :woohoo:

I was playing poker a few weeks ago at a poker room and when i cashed out my chips they gave me $100 too much. I tried to hand the hundered dollar bill to the guy but he just looked at me like he was befuddled. Maybe he thought i was tipping him a hundered bucks and was in shock. lol I dunno. But i told him he had overpaid me and that there were some guys there that would take advantage of his mistake but im not one of them. Ive been back there a few times since and all the employees have been super nice to me. ( They hardly noticed me before ) Im sure eveyone knows what happened. Would you want to live with knowing you took advantage of them every time you walk in that store 2-3 times daily?
