Not like gettting a case of water at blockbuster for 22 bucks...but when people just mess up your order or something?

1. Few years ago at a place in Tiffin I think. Forget the name. My bill came to like 15 bucks. Gave waitress a 20.
Didnt really look at it all but when it was said and done she gave me change for the 20, plus the 20 back.

2. 15-20 years ago my brothers and I got i indiana to get fireworks. We had I think 200 bucks to blow. So we get as much as we can, and they always throw in a bunch of free junk and such. I am standing there ready to pay and the guy bags it up, says thanks and have a good day. I just stand there, and we walk out teh store withouth him taking the money

3. street vendor who used to sell hot dogs, sausages and stuff in town. One day his son was working the stand. My bill comes to like 7 bucks. I give him a 10. he gives me like 8 bucks back. I said to him, ya gave me back the incorrect change, I gave you a ten. He looked befuddled and then gives me back like 15 bucks. So I actually got paid to eat it. I tried to make it right but i figured he messed up twice.......



I know...makes me a morally wrong person accepting that stuff......but I did learn my lesson. Many a time since them I had been given the wrong change back and politely told them they gave me back too much. It has happened a number of times since then and I always make sure to be honest and give them the right money back..but when I was younger I thought taht wasnt so nice i guesss

When I graduated high school I decided to take some of my money and buy a pair of Oakley's, so I went to the local joint that sold them and bought a pair for like $150. I paid, they handed me the glasses and put the box in a little bag. I went home and just tossed the box on my dresser where it sat for at least 2 months. One day I was cleaning the dresser off and opened the box just to see what was in it, I found a pair of the same $150 glasses in a different color. Score!!

These don't seem like good deals. More like someone f'd up.

I was at a car wash once and had to get change. I put in a dollar and got $5 back in quarters. I went next door to get singles for everything in my wallet and then kept feeding the machine until it ran out of quarters.

My aunt went to Walmart and bought a swing for her back yard. She went around the back, handed the guy the receipt, he looked at it, handed it back to her and loaded the swing up in her car. Well, he didn't mark the receipt that it had been picked up. So she stopped by my mom's house, handed my mom the receipt. My mom went to Walmart, and just went straight to the back and handed the guy the receipt. He handed her back the receipt and loaded her car up with the swing. Me and my uncle both got swings for our yards that day too. Yeah, I know, it's wrong. But Walmart sure won't miss that $800.00.

... I went to K-mart years ago and bought some winshield washer fluid. It was marked $ 1.59 below the bottles and when I got to the register the girl rang it up and said " 15 cents". I looked at her like she was from Mars & gave a quarter & got back 10 cents in change. I walked back out to the car, put it in the trunk & then walked back into the store and bought 5 cases ( 12 bottles to the case) so for $ 1.80 + tax, I got a total of 61 gal of washer fluid wich I gave out to all of my family and friends....not bad & I'm sure it was her last day on register.

That is why i put it as "deal"
Your reminds me of a couple others. There was something wrong at the car wash when I was a kid riding bikes......dollar would give back anywhere from 1.25 to 2 dollars in qtrs. It lasted for like a week. Friends and I would scrounge up all the ones we could.


Also a vending machine at where i used to work. Ya buy one thing and the whole row would continue to move and ya could feed the whole crew for like 50 cents
