Am I a bad person?

So when I went to buy my DS last summer I bought it along with 4 games at gamestop. I bought it with my credit card and when I looked down the price seemed to be about right and I didnt really notice anything was up.

Skip ahead a few weeks, I get my credit card statement and I notice the dude at the counter didnt charge me for my DS. At that point in time the ole angel on one shoulder and devil on the other popped out. Suffice to say I ended up doing nothing about it, with the kind of thinking of something kind of went my way for once.

Just kind of curious if the dude at the counter got fired or something. I really dont feel bad about it but I always wondered if that dude got into trouble over it. I would feel pretty bad if he lost his job over it.

The measure of a person's character is how they act when no one is looking

Take that as you will

Fate always has a way of catching up. I'm guessing the hinges will break sooner than later.. oh wait that's normal loljjtiebuckle

Its like a metaphor for life and your DS all at the same time.:)

Fine words which Ive heard before and if you actually follow them then I have a lot of respect for you.

Of course I think its pretty much impossible for any human being to follow them. The only character/person Ive seen close to living it is Sturm from Dragon Lance.

Please, im sure every single person on this thread would do the same thing, because at the end of the day.

Well, to be honest, it was not a fault of your own, and chances are the store never even noticed one missing DS until stock take a month later, then it would be impossible to track who sold it, so I highly doubt that the clerk was fired. It's not a fireable offense anyway (At least here in Ireland, If it was a genuine accident).havokmaster

good for you. when things like this happen, call it good fortune and accept it. it's like being given too much change: it's not your fault, and fate must be smiling upon you.

LOL something very similar happened with me one day: I went to Toys R Us and bought Antigrav for the PS2 bundled with the Eyetoy. I think that it was suposed to cost about 50 bucks or even more, but the guy looked at the price and it was only 10 bucks! Then, the man said something like "Holy cow!" and then he sold me for only $10, because he couldn't do nothing

It's not your fault, and I don't crticize you for not going back. I don't even think I would have gone back after 3 weeks, but I sure would have felt bad. Not so much for the guy who sold it to me, but just because I would have felt guilty. I really believe in what goes around comes around, so I very well could have went back if I noticed the blunder right away. After 3 weeks though I probably would have said forget about it, but if I noticed immediately I would have gone back I think.

When I was at Best Buy picking up some computer parts (yes I know they are overpriced, but I don't really care) they forgot to charge me for my Video card that was almost $300.00. I had been joking around with the cashier and I think she honestly just missed it. Well after laughing and getting checked out I walked out to the parking lot and got to thinking about my total and how it seemed really wrong. It was of course so I went back in and paid for it.

Also a best buy story: My dvd player broke under warranty from Best Buy. They said they couldn't fix it and I needed to come in and pick out a new one which I did. A couple days later they called me twice letting me know I needed to come in and pick out a new one. I then informed them I already had, the guy said are you sure because we don't have you listed as doing it. I assured him I had and he thanked me.

Yes i'm in the major minority I know and a lot of people don't like it (and don't believe) that there are honest people still in the world. Because I am and try to be honest I get the whole "holier than thou" thing which I think is bs. Just because a very few people myself included still believe in honesty we are pretty much labeled idiots or stupid for being such.

I decided a long time ago not to let that bother me as I know the truth and I hope karma catches up to people and they get what they deserve. Anyway, the new cool is being dishonest and living with a chip on your shoulder like the man owes you something. It's sad but it's true.

Also I might add that I'm no angel that thinks only pure thoughts. When I have an oppurtunity to get something for free don't think I don't think about it. But in the end although inside I'm thinking it sometimes sucks to be honest I still do the right thing because it's the right thing and that's how I want my kids to grow up.

You got blessed brah. Be happy you didn't have to spend money on that thing. Like the others users have said

That's a fact and there ain't nothin wrong with that.

The way I see it if you are low on cash and need the money no big deal. If you're loaded and still took it then yeah you should go back and pay for it imo.

BAD person how about LUCKY!

i dont know what i would do BUT consider how much gamestop has cheated and suckered people i "might". im sure all of you realize they are scum and quickly becoming a monoply in used games. im still not sure though.

Yeah my old math teacher once found a bunch of money outside a store, so he went inside and told the clerks to tell anyone who asked to call my teacher's number and he'd give it to them. He kept it for ages, no one called so he spent it himself.

It's alright, when I was still a young teen, I went to a Weird Al concert with Family & Friend. After the concert I found a Gameboy Color with Worms Armageddon, I even waited around for someone to return for it. Well when it was time togo home my father incourage me to keep it. I felt a little guilty at first but then I let it be "finders keepers losers weepers" :D.

But my real point is you should relish the moment while you can, cause it won't happen very often when luck goes into your favor.

I personally think it's wrong. (I'ma person who thinks personal integrity is important)

That's what Jasonguys quote was pointing out. I'm confused here.

What you did definitely isn't a bad thing. I like to look at it like this:

The good > Return it/ pay for something the employer forgot/ and more stuff.

The Neutral > Do nothing. If you find something/ get something without paying, then it's allright to take no action, because the human brain and heart is made to at least consider doing it.

The bad > Steal/attack/break in and more ON PURPOSE. If you don't want to risk throwing your life away, don't do this xD.

So, if luck ever crosses your way, I'd say it's all right to do the good or the neutral, but never ever take the wrong path ^.^
I once found a €100,- bill on the stairs in my flat. Picked up, took home, chucked inside wallet, done. Ofcourse I thought 'whose could it have been' but never really had a problem with it.

Im not gonna lie I dont feel bad about the deed really. I was just wondering if dude would get fired over it.

The nice thing for him though is it was like the biggest gamestop Ive ever seen and had like 3 other people working there at the time.

Its just interesting to see some peoples responses though.

After 3 weeks I wouldn't have gone back, although I would have pointed it out to the clerk if I had picked up on the mistake right away.

But if you are feeling guilty about it I suggest you donate a few $$ to the charity of your choice. That way some good will come of it.

My thoughts exactly, give it to someone who truly needs and deserves it... not the greedy, selfish, crooks at GameStop or Nintendo of America for that matter.

If it had been EB there would be no question about not going back there...they've ripped off too many people in the time they've been around.

maybe u jut were not meant to e charged.. i mean, when does this happen? its nearly impossible... tho i am sure u will nvr be content knowing the incident

lol that reminds me of the time i went to target to get Tomb Raider Legend: it said $20 on the box, but ended up costing a $1.50 at the counter! =D

Well..that's what I would've done, but that doesn't make it right just 'cause I'd do it xD

It doesn't matter now anyway, right? What can you do?

Is this a serious thread? Who care's if that guy got fired or not. It's not your problem. Congrats on the free DS though.
