[Blindtlk] AT the Intersection of Money Identification and Human behavior

[Hyde, David W. (ESC)]

I had it happen once. I gave a bar tender a $20, and got bills back. I carried the bills and drinks to the table. I sorted the bills, and found I was ten short. When I went back, I gave him another $20, and got change back. I took the bills out of sight, and pulled a $1 out of my pocket, and asked him if that was the $10. When he said yes, I told him what I had done, and gave him back both sets of bills. I told him he got away with it, almost. I told him I was sure he inadvertently made the same mistake twice. If he ever made it again, I would be discussing his continued employment with his boss. He was always exactly correct after that, and I never mentioned to him again.

Afternoon, Bobb and everyone,,

Mostly I've found, generally, that people are really cool, not taking advantage of the blind. I think that's like a cardinal sin, on par with child mollestation and the like.

Maybe show people that you are trusting people won't take advantage of you, unless they're real shits! Yes, you might encounter the world's shits, but by and large, people want to help us. 07:49 AM 3/5/2015, Bob Hachey via blindtlk wrote:
