Shopping Dilemma

[Dave Gray]

You guys have got the Karma thing all backwards.  THIS IS KARMA, working in your favor.

Errors work for and against us all our lives -- take it when you get it.

[Brian Fein]

Karma only applies when you purposefully do something wrong.  You have done nothing wrong, so like Dave said, karma is rewarding you for being good.   Karma doesn't only apply to bad things happening.

However, I believe karma is a sham, a fraud, and a hoax, all at the same time.

So, to answer your question, B, do the right thing and keep that sum-bitch.

Somebody paid the additional MP3 player.  Somebody is getting screwed.  At send an email.  They probably won't want to spend more money get it shipped back to them and you can keep it with a clear conscience.

"They're a big company.  They can afford it."  Compared to the homeless man on the corner YOU can afford it, so by that logic you should give him half your money.

It'll be interested to see your outlook the next time you lose your wallet.

I sent him an email yesterday,informing him that second Mp3 player was sent.The orginal one was missing the neck strap,and armband,ETc.Etc.

He responded a few minutes ago,He said he found out about the second Mp3 player being sent,and gave me a return address.He said he'll send me a free gift,for returning the Mp3 player.He told me to keep the second newer one with the extra suff.

I'd love to have a Secure digital memory card.I stole the one out of my camera for my MP3 player,I doubt that's what it will be.I'd imagine it won't be as good as the mp3 player.That's ok,I feel good about doing the right thing.(Boy,Don't I sound like a bad after school special  :-/ )

Not quite the same thing -- it was not an individual's camera -- it was a business.  Coming from a business owner, so much money changes hands that it's negligable.  You accidently get money where you shouldn't, and you end up not collecting in other areas.  It's just a cost of doing business.

Just like sometimes you buy something that sucks, and lose the receipt.  ...other times you get stsuff for free.  It's the circle of capitalistic life.

Lil_B...I hope the Gods of Karma look beneath your elegant/velvety exterior to the big heart underneath and reward you with a big bonus...but I personally think I'd have kept that 2nd player.  

I  sent him an email yesterday

...

He responded a few minutes ago,He said he found out about the second Mp3 player being sent,

Translation: "I actually had no fukkin' clue that I'd sent the 2nd one, but since I prefer my clients not to think of me as a total dumbass of a businessperson, I'll lie to ya."  

I feel good about doing the right thing.(Boy,Don't I sound like a bad after school special  :-/ )

Conjunction Junction, what's your malfunction?

 (Boy,Don't I sound like a bad after school special  :-/ )

Yes.  

And you're a better man than me.

Right, because stealing from a business is okay.  

[Dave Gray]

Right, because stealing from a business is okay.  

I'm not saying that stealing is okay.  I'm saying that benefiting from an individual and a business isn't the same thing.  Besides, it's not stealing.  

[Brian Fein]

Its not stealing.  No one walked into their warehouse after hours wearing a buglar's mask and took one out and sped away.  They sent it to him.  They sent it because he ordered it.  They screwed up, and alot of times, they might even say "you know, keep it".

It happens all the time.  Its not stealing, no one did anything wrong.
