I have students explain to me that Mommy will tell them that they have to go to the local stop and rob and steal a few packs of cigarettes for her if they expect to use the car. You need a new outfit, got to the mall and steal one. Leave the old rags in the dressing room. And yeah, I have seen the return scam, in action down here, too. <BR/>I was raised by my parents to return that bag of mulch as Bulldog did. I still think too highly of them to bring dishonor on their reputations and family name. And I do believe that is probably the key to much of this...the disappearance of the family unit since LBJ's "Great Sasiety" made this country into a welfare state has gone a long way to encourage this behavior.Mississippi Cajunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456614734580091848.post-20151034215338809312009-03-25T06:54:00.000-05:002009-03-25T06:54:00.000-05:00You're exactly right.

You know what I do for a living, and I'm here to tell you that honesty IS the exception rather than the rule these days...which is why I go out of my way to do the right thing whenever I get the chance.<BR/><BR/>I spend my day watching the local lowlifes - 99% of which are black, by the way - take advantage of my company's liberal return policy, returing merchandise they have stolen for a merchandise card which they then take to one of the local pawn shops and sell for 50 cents on the dollar. (Gee, there I go being a racist again because I said something negative about blacks being involved in something I see EVERY DAY!) And, thanks to my company's insanely liberal and "customer friendly" return policy (no receipt, no problem - we'll do the return for you!), I am absolutely powerless to do anything about it. (And NO, I'm not going to name my company.)<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping that sometime in the not-too-distant future our country wakes up and has a resurgence of honesty run through it, and all of the "politically correct" bullshit attitudes that sprouted during the past twelve years or so goes away...but I ain't counting on it happening for at least the next four years, maybe eight if The Great Pretender gets re-elected.IHChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045231491282547282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456614734580091848.post-18485963421493259952009-03-24T19:12:00.000-05:002009-03-24T19:12:00.000-05:00hit the nail on the head BrotherHonesty IS the exc...hit the nail on the head Brother<BR/><BR/>Honesty IS the exception and NOT the rule.<BR/><BR/>good on you ChiefAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
