Call Me Honest Abe
I could have pocketed an extra $20 at Rite Aid this afternoon. I requested the maximum in cash back - $40 - and was given $60. Being the honest soul that I am, I pointed out the error to the clerk. What a swell guy, huh?

I stopped at a gas station one day, paid with a $100 - back when doing so would require change and the clek put my change in my hand right on top of my C-note. I didn't note, stuffed it into my wallet and went on down the road. On down the road in Idaho is really on down the road. The gas station was in Hamilton montana, and I was on my way from souteastern Idaho to northwestern Idaho, which requires a hundred or so miles through Montana.
Anyway by the time I discovered they paid me $78 to take $22 worth of gas I was a couple of hundred miles away. Call me dishonest Abe. I kept it.

Just a bit of full disclosure, I have been through Hamilton several imes, and not once did it strike me to stop in and pay them back for their mistake. I have bought gas there several times hoping to hit the jackpot again.
