Settle a dispute...
... 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.

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.
