They did not have something on paper with which to match his offer of payment.

Therefore, he represented an annoyance. More and more, our world consists of “talking heads”

(the first line of defense of most companies).

Recently I tried to upgrade our phone

service with ATT&T. I wanted unlimited long distance. I signed up on line to get their

internet special. I unsubscribed from the long distance service we were previously using.

ATT&T’s service never kicked in. I called and after being connected to the FIFTH

representative, I was told would cost $10 more per month if a live person did the sign up. They

suggested signing up on line to save $10 a month. Their web site would not allow me to sign

up(???).
I quit and begged forgiveness and reinstatement from my former long distance

carrier.

God Bless America and ATT&T

How bizarre – why would people be rude when someone is offering them money? Oh

well, I guess his honesty was rewarded with the free stereo.

Years ago, my dad bought a stereo from a department store. He was never billed for

it. Being painfully honest, he called and called the store’s billing department. He finally

went down to the store and they were borderline rude to him. They said he must be mistaken;

there was nothing due on his account. I finally convinced him to just listen to the music and

let it go.

Gee…I wish mistakes like that would happen to me. Best I ever did was

an extra 20. at the ATM one night….I was hoping it would keep going but no luck. LOL.
