why do I have morals?

There have been many times I have walked away from a situation kicking myself in the ass for not saying or doing the right thing.

Tonight I hate myself for being such a nice and honest person. Yes, it is a strange thing to hate myself for but sometimes I wish I could be the bicthy consumer for once. At Target if a Sale Sign gets printed wrong and the guest can prove it we have to give the item to them for the posted price.

I was just out buying milk and searching for a turkey to meet my mom’s specifications. Due to the size we need to have it tomorrow so it will be thawed in time to cook it Thursday.

I bought my milk and Mint Hershey’s Kisses at Target, they have the cheapest turkeys but they don’t have a turkey over 16 pounds.

On to Hugo’s the turkeys there are $.99/lb. not bad, but 30 cents more than the ones at Target.

One last stop, Leevers the 24 hour grocery store. I find the turkeys and I am puzzled by the sign posted in front of them.

Special Buy
Butterball Turkeys
$1.49
1 count.

Thinking this just can’t be right I grab a turkey weighing 22 pounds and carry it up to the one open check out and ask if they are really only $1.49. He checks and tells me it is per pound. I tell him that isn’t what the sign says and carry the turkey back to where I found it.

Then I go to the service desk and inform the lady there that they should fix their sign.

Why on earth couldn’t I be a bitch and tell them that I wanted that turkey for the price on the sign because if they didn’t give it to me that would be false advertising?

Why?

Because I would be ripping them off, because I knew that the sign couldn’t possibly be right.

Sometimes I wish I had no morals…
