thanks to the Live Nation. Dear blog, I just want
to pad myself on the back because I was a
good person and I just want to I want to
use this opportunity now. I want to use this opportunity
to publicize that I was a good person and the

(00:41):
reaction that I got for being a good person. But
you know, I'm a runner now, and by run I
mean very slow jog. Looks like a walk to a
lot of people, but it's running. Trust me. Let me
trust me. My heartbreak would indicate and my breathing would
indicate that it is. It is, in fact, a run,
while it looks more like a sort of a hobble
of some kind. But anyway, I've lost some weight, so

(01:03):
I'm taking some clothes, humble bragg, pat on the back,
I'm taking. I've been taking clothes into the tailor guy,
especially now that it's been like a whole new season
since I lost the weights, Like my coats are a
little too big and whatever. And so I went into
the thing and they like whatever a few weeks ago,
and they did the alterations, and they it's kind of
old school, and they like write it down on a
little they use it. They're still using like tickets with

(01:26):
they rip half the ticket off and give it to you.
I guess they don't have a computer at this place.
All they have are like needles and thread I don't know,
and so, and they write the price that you owe
them on the little ticket. Well, last time I went
in there, I didn't have my ticket, but I saw
my clothes and I remembered the number. And they guys like, okay,
I don't know, let's say it was let's say it
was fifty dollars. Like okay, here's fifty bucks. Okay, great,

(01:49):
here's my clothes. I walk out. Well, then I went
home and I found the ticket and the ticket was
seventy dollars. It wasn't fifty, so I shorted the guy
twenty bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Gamma.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
He didn't seem to care, and I'm like, okay, well
I went back with more clothes and then he gives
me the ticket, and I remember when he handed me
the new ticket, like I shorted this guy twenty bucks
last time. So yesterday, when I went to pick up
my clothes again, I paid him an extra twenty dollars
and he said, well, this is too much, and he
hands me back twenty. I said, no, last time, I

(02:18):
made the price up, I guess, and I was twenty
dollars short, and I owe you twenty bucks, and he
just looked at me like he couldn't believe it. And
I don't know if that's like, dude, we scammed him
last time, like we al, like we overcharged you. I
knew that I overcharged you, and so I was letting
it go because like, we didn't charge you properly. But
he just looked at me and he didn't even say anything,

(02:40):
like he didn't know what to say. Because I feel like,
and again, it's not that I'm a good person, it's
that I have a guilty conscience and it would have. Honestly,
it's not that he gets the twenty bucks. It's that
I was going to live with the thought of the
twenty bucks and that hurts me. I'm just being honest.
It was eating at me inside that I shorted the
guy unintentionally. But it's like he just stared at me.
He didn't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
You did the right thing, for sure, but we.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Could have moved on and had a relationship for years
with him fixing my clothes. I don't think he even
knew or remembered or cared, No, But I cared because
it bothered me. Okay, So I'd like to tell you
that I did it because it was the right thing
to do. I did it because it was eating at me,
Like I was gonna walk next time I walked by there,
I was going to take hand the guy twenty because
I'm like, I shorted you, man. But I guess it's
just that people don't do people not do that.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, And then also he probably just makes up his price.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
See That's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I frequent in It's like I go in there and
get the same bacon, egg and cheese soundwhich and today
it's twelve dollars. Tomorrow it's six dollars, and then I
say it's seven dollars. I'm like, girl, you just making
these prices up, which say, your prerogative, my girl. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
No, I think it's more like he throws the price
out and I'm not. You know, there are artists and
it's hard work and I don't know how to do it,
so it seems reasonable. So whatever. But maybe the price
does vary a little bit depending on how he's feeling.
So he just took the money because it's like because
he didn't remember or care, but I did. But let
me ask you this question, and we were late. We

(04:06):
have to go. But on that note, I get the
same Almost every day. I get the same food item.
I'm not going to say where or what, but almost
every day I get it, and sometimes the price is different.
I think it's because they forget to add Some people
charge it differently than others.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Hmmmm.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Is it my responsibility to point out on the days
where it is half the price that it should be
because someone didn't ring it in correctly. I go almost
every day take your less. But let's say it's supposed
to be eight and some days it's six. On the
days that it's six, I don't say anything. You shouldn't know.
You'll make it up next time. And I go there
enough that I think it's fair. And it's also I
kind of think it's your job to like charge what

(04:46):
I'm supposed to pay. You don't want to do it
in a timely manner, like I kind of think that's
your job to do that. I don't mean to be rude,
but you know, if I guess if we charged our
customers in our advertising partners whatever, we charged it, and
we went back six months later and go, oh my god,
I forgot it was a million dollars more. I think
we've tried that. Actually it doesn't work now, it just
heads up. But that would be on us because we

(05:07):
didn't properly. You know, we didn't we didn't price it
appropriately correct. But I do think about that on Morality Thursday.
Every day, I'm like, am I going to get Oh
that seems like less today? Maybe that looks are cheaper
though today kind of like market price. We're gonna go
with that. We're gonna go with that. Waiting by the phone,
