People will take advantage of the employee’s mistake for a purchase they know to be wrong for an average savings of less than $42 bucks.

Pathetic.

No pal, theft would have been paying nothing, not what was posted. Actually, the moral to this story is “You snooze, you lose”. Perhaps the owner will take all this free publicity and actually sell gas on occasion for lower prices than competitors. And “American in Israel” (might be time to come back home) don’t lecture me about how little profit margin there is in retail gas sales. This was a mistake: with mistakes, “Stuff Happens”.

It shows up in lots of small ways.
At Starbucks there is a high turnover of employees and quite often the new ones undercharge for certain drinks.

Nine time out of ten when I point out the undercharge, the result is a free upgrade...

Who says honesty never pays?

Yes it is. And people wonder why I have home protection and some supplies set aside for emergencies. They are lining up in droves like this to rip off an American in an economy just getting tough? Give it a couple more years. In the meantime, I will stay packing.
