Passengers quote pilot: 'We're going down'

Let me guess, you know inside they're lying and you just want to punch them in the face but you can't. I deal with liars on a daily basis. Employees and customers. All they want is to get something for free and rip off the establishment. The funny thing is they don't try this type of ish at big brand name stores like starbucks or ATP. They know they can't get away with it so they don't even try. When they see mom and pop places their first inclination is to take advantage.

I tend to feel the opposite. For a few months Target had a 6 pack of old dominion Octoberfest marked at $1.29. Now I didn't go crazy, I did enjoy maybe 3-4 six packs over the course that it was marked as such.

I figure a big company like that is better suited to a) notice the mistake and b) absorb the loss of they don't.

If it was a mom and pop store though, I'd bring it to their attention. I think for me it's taking advantage of a person that I don't feel good about...a faceless corporation...I don't feel the same way.

Finding the error and loading up with every 6 pack they have would be wrong to me, but getting the same amount you would normally is ok I think. If it would have rung up at full price I would have had no problem paying.
 
The people using the EBT cards on a shopping spree at Wal Mart during that debacle would absolutely go bat crap crazy if someone did the same to them.

"I took that check you wrote me for doing you landscape and kept depositing it! Wooo! I've got a millionty dollars now and it's all coming out of your account!" :)

My wife, on occassion, reads negative yelp reviews purely for entertainment. They're like youtube comments, but with a pretense of intelligence.

They, indeed, are fun. People's sense of entitlement is amazing.

Talk to a small restaurant owner about "Yelp Extortion" — from the company itself and then from the Yelp "Elites" that traipse around town restaurant to restaurant like their Guy Fieri demanding gift certificates to either (a) avoid giving an unpleasant review or (b) to give a pleasant review.

The ones for fast food chains are especially entertaining.

My favorite one was for. McDonalds in MD that had run out of hash browns. This person was all kinds of butt hurt about it.

Very similar to the jimmy dean sausage complaint phone call floating around the youtubes.

Maybe if you had a donut store job guarantee for them they would play nicer. You need a bigger carrot.
