Target loves me
So we go to the Target at Santa Monica and La Brea. While there, my daughter calls me. I always stop what I’m doing when my kids call. So the small thing of sunblock gets dropped, too: into my cargo pants side pocket.
I get back to the Riot Hyatt and see it. I am horrified. I HAVE NEVER STOLEN ANYTHING IN MY LIFE. EVER. Even when I was a kid.
So I make Lala take me back. She is amused. At Target guest services, they are in shock. “Thank you for being so honest, sir.”
And $2.17 later, my soul is repaired.

Hmmm? Does this set a precedence establishing that: if someone takes something unwittingly, then pays for it, charges shouldn’t be laid nor should there be further reprimand or penalties? How does this experience inform our perspective on Senate expenses? 😉

It’s not stealing if you “DON’T KNOW” you are stealing!
Or is that just for wall street?

It’s not stealing because he didn’t know he was stealing.
If, once he discovered the sun block, he’d decided to keep it and not go back — THEN it’d have been stealing.
But, he went back.

Sounds like Catholic guilt to me. 😉
I’ve done the same thing, partly to teach my kids a lesson in honesty, mostly due to the Catholic guilt instilled in me by my parents and the Jesuit Brothers back in school.

I applaud your honesty, forthrightness and sense of honour…..
btw….while in Santa Monica…..I hope you are pronouncing it “Tarzhay”…..honourary pink card if done so……:)

Dude, you are so lucky you didn’t get caught, innocent though you were. Kudos for returning it. But man, I keep going back and thinking about how awful that would’ve looked.
Enough to keep one up nights…

$2.17 isn’t going to come close to paying the bill.

There is a suspicious rumour circulating that someone he knows in high office actually wrote a cheque for $2.17 to cover the cost to ensure it was paid in order to stop a possible police investigation that would cost taxpayers’ money but he was supposed to remain silent; oops! 😉

They opened up a Target to replace the Zellers store in my town last May. After all this time, they still seem to have a lot of one thing: empty shelves and displays. It’s like shopping in the Soviet Union. Prices are rather “up there”, too.
Gawd, I miss Zellers…if you needed something, you could always find it there.

On Monday I was unlocking my bike at Yonge and St. Clair when a a boy approached me, five-dollar bill in hand, asking me if I’d dropped it. His lucky day – I hadn’t!
