What would Jesus do?
I made a visit to a new wine store today which had recently opened. It is one of those mega-stores with umpteen thousand bottles of wine.
The wife and I like wine and will usually buy a case every week or two. We brought with us a coupon which we had cut from the local paper. The coupon was for $15 off the purchase of 12 or more bottles of wine. (Each bottle had to be $9.95 or more) So we selected our 12 bottles of wine and proceeded to the check-out. We presented our coupon to the cashier who checked it carefully and then checked that we did indeed have 12 bottles of wine. She then gave us a discount of $15 for each bottle of wine. The total discount was $180! The balance was $10.37! My wife and I looked at each other - surely the cashier was going to notice that she had made a mistake, but no, she just carried on and charged us $10.37. As we were driving (very fast!) away from the store, I said to my wife, "Should we have said anything?" Would you??? |

Jesus really never had a need for a wine store, he just turned H2O into zinfendel and he was done!

I'm just impressed that each of your bottles was more than $15. Clearly a man after my own heart (or possibly liver)!
Life's too short to drink $4.99 Texas Zinfandel. ;) |

Too right mate, a gallon of antifreeze is cheaper than that and you get a better buzz. |

As we were driving (very fast!) away from the store, I said to my wife, "Should we have said anything?" Would you??? How did you pay? Cash or a card? If it's the latter, is it possible the store will contact you about the charging you incorrectly? If I were in your shoes, I would've pointed out the cashier's error. I would like to be able to return to the store with a clear conscience but that's just me. As for Jesus. He wouldn't have had to buy the wine. He would've made it himself, just like in the Bible! :D NC Penguin |
