In light of a recent thread, which is not the purpose of this discussion, I thought I'd have a spot for stories and anecdotes from our members on occasions where we have found things, got home from the store and found out cashier made a mistake, our had our lost things returned, etc.
I will start with one of my own favourites from my beloved Aunt Maude.
Back in the 40's, she'd been out doing shopping and errands, and arrived home to find she had $10 too much change. This was much more money back then, and it didn't take her too long to figure out a local jewellery store had given back too much when she had picked up a watch in for repair.
Unable to return until the following Saturday, she went back to the store to inform them they had made a mistake in her change the week before. Before she could finish, the salesman drew himself haughtily up and said "Madam, we do not make mistakes here".
She thanked him and left with the $10.
