Good karma brings good luck

[maine_Jim]

I think I've earned some good karma rewards. Last week I had a teller hand me an extra $50 back in change and I let her know. She was most pleased. The next day I noticed a wallet sitting on the tellers table full of money. I handed it to the teller and she said she would call the guy. --

Since then I've had a lot of good luck.

I took a road trip and picked up a $120 in halves, they had about $90 in silver in them and included my first Bens. A couple days later I stop at a bank and the teller hands me my first Walker out of her till. Today I stopped at a couple banks - at the first one the teller hands me 2 40% and a 90% and says she had been saving them for me and to make sure I come back for more. Same thing happens at two more banks then finally at the last bank the teller hands me a 1970-d! I'm gonna pick up four boxes tomorrow - hope the good karma continues!

That's why I backed out of this one. sometimes I stir a little to deep.

You can never stir to deep as long as you don't intentionally get harmful/hurtfal or insulting.

The deeper you stir the sharper you keep people. =)

He did the right thing. Period.

Anyone who would/will knowlingly keep excessive change is someone I personally will NOT deal with. Period.

I hate a thief. Keeping over-count is theft. Period.

I ALWAYS return over-count. Period.

I can count my change with 'em by eyeball and stay with 'em. It's always right, or I call it to their attention. If it's short, I say so. If it's over, I say so.

I won't lower MY standards to raise someone else's. Period.

My name is Robin. I do what is right and just. Period.

How's that for stirrin' the pot?

Robin

 

[BBcardsRI]

As far as your question Robin... I was shocked that you included it/ended the post with it... I mean... to see a question mark after/amongst all those PERIODS...

Hey I never thought my Karma story would get such deep discussion going here! My story continues today, not sure if this is good or bad. I had both my box source banks come up empty on the seven boxes I ordered. The way skunks have been rolling through here maybe it was more good Karma saving me a couple of hours of smelling those skunky boxes... I did score a 40% from the bank next door to one of them. The cute teller then asked for my phone number and said she would call the next time some halves came in...

Maybe the cute teller will give you more than half dollars if you are lucky. Ya just never know!

Jim!

My... my...

=)

Grats on the 40% score but sorry about the boxes not coming in. You must not be fully addicted yet or not just yet, but simply not addicted in general, because a lot of us would be really upset with not getting boxes in, even though they would most likely be skunks. We must hunt!

~Dave

 

[Sheldius]

I don't believe in Karma either, but I try to do the right thing.

I haven't been able to hunt for 5 months due to low funds/lack of boxes, but when I was a regular I was dropping off 2 boxes every week at the dump back.

They got use to it. So, when I only dropped one off, the teller still gave me $1000. She was VERY glad when I pointed out here mistake.

HH.

Gspurs and CaptainRobin - how are the Georgia boxes doing these days?

 

[BBcardsRI]

That would be interesting... getting TWICE what you were supposed to get.

I imagine that would bring about a different thought process than if an extra 20 got stuck together with the normal amount...

Its all mental people... =0

Why should I give it back?

The banks and companies that run them are just going to missalocate their and by that I mean MY money and funds... why should I not hedge against their future collapse, poor decisions, and greed by not showing a bit of my own greedy side?

~Dave

About 4 months ago a teller handed me an extra 100.00 bill. I was walking out and realized it. I decided it was monopoly time and it was a bank error in my favor. I felt and still do that the greedy big banks have no heart when they forclose on a hard working father, or kick out a single mother, so screw them. I told the story on this very forum and got called every name under the sun. Although some may not agree its a shame the Jesus freaks of the world have to hate on someone b/c they dont agree. Like i said b4 if it was a mom and pop corner deli, or even the local supermarket i would not have done that, but banks SCREW THEM.
Just my 2 cents

Keith, I'm religious; though I don't take offense to the "Jesus freak" remark and I see where you are coming from. It's never happened to me so I don't know if I would give it back or keep it. I can speculate on what I would do but I don't truly know.

I understand the comment that it hurts the teller. But they aren't going to get fired for two bills sticking together. If they do this stuff everyday, then that is their own problem and they deserve it. Likewise, with the person who mentioned that a teller gave him $1,000 because he always brings in two boxes of halves but this time only brought one. They deserve to get fired because they aren't doing their job.

Now the issue of doing the right thing still arises of course though. By taking the teller out of the situation you are still left with yourself. And at that rate it is a matter of personal opinion as to what you should do and what that action means.

There is a lot of corruption in banks... and other companies... and if you aren't hurting the teller and only the company itself... is that so bad? An extra $100 descrepancy on the books when the head of the company is making a hundred million while running the company/bank into the ground and hurting thousands of people who own its stock (if a company) or have money in them (if a bank)?

I find it interesting that banks are often called GREEDY when they foreclose or use other methods to obtain what is legally owed to them. Has anyone ever owed you money? What if your employer decided to not pay you after a months work, would you just write it off?

If is very sad when people lose their homes, no matter what the reason. But they took out the loan and signed a contract agreeing to pay. If they could not afford it, they should have stayed renters. Also, it takes months to get to the point where you actually get booted out. If they could not get their act together by then, what else can be done. Why should the bank subsidize someones existence? Sounds to me a bit like socialism.

I have some clients that owe me money and they make any excuse to not pay. Yet I have no doubt that they have money for cigs, beer, etc. It sucks when you are owed money and cannot get it. I am sure on a corporate level the bank has the same issues.

People in this world need to take responsibility and not expect to be taken care of. It is this line of thinking and action that has put our country in the current state that it is in.

GPURS... if you ever want to type an actual response to what has been discussed here using logic and sensibility based on previous posts and questions as well as issues of morality (you know... actually try to answer one of these questions or conjecture on one of the moral points) I more than welcome you to come back here and post. But as long as you feel like typing in brief posts that only serve to show your own immaturity and lack of mental playfullness, I would appreciate it if you kept your fingers off the keyboard.

Thanks.

Yea i remember it to.
My main thing is believe it or not im a pretty religious person. And i do believe in god and right and wrong. I just agree hole heartedly in the scenerio dave mentioned. I can not feel bad for --deleted-- corporates that like dave said will run the company into the ground and hurn millions of people. O and dave thanks for responding to idiots like gepurs so i dont have to.

Also asfar as the morgage thing goes. My parents when i was little didnt have a fixed morgage they had a variable one. To say the least the piece of crap bank decided they need more money. In the end my parents morgage doubled in just a 5 month time period. I understandf that this was there fault not making sure there morgage was fixed rate. My point is ive seen how the big corporations can care less about the working man. So to ask me to care about the corporate bank to me sounds crazy. Again il reitterate. MOM and pop store no way. Anyone that goes to the casino has onnce or twice seen a dealer screw up and pay when he shouldnt, or pay more then he should. And all those times i didnt once hear anyone say a word. I see this scenior on the same level.

So stealing (keeping the money the bank gave you is stealing in my opinion) is ok as long as the victim is someone you consider to be bad?

This kind of thinking scares me when think about the need to hire employees for my firm. If they decide you don't pay them enough, don't give them a raise when they think they deserve it, etc., they can just take matters into their own hands.

I am not here to judge anyone who would keep the money as above stated. I would bet that everyone on this board has taken something that does not belong to them at some point in their life-either as a teenager, young adult, etc. But that does not change the fact that it is still wrong, even if the victim is a wealthy, greedy institution.

I dont think my point is to justify something that can be considered wrong, but rather just state that i see it differently. Although some feel there is a clear black line drawn between whats right and whats wrong, there is not. I got lucky enough that a teller handed me an extra 100.00. How is this different then finding 100.00 bill on a sidewalk. I just dont see the differents. And its nothing to be worried about. B/c in my opinion there is a fine line between accepting someone elses mistake in your favior and going out and stealing from your employer. One is accepting something that falls in your lap, and the other is flat out stealing.
Again
My opinion

Good job Jim. This world needs more of your kind out there. Kudos!!

Why hasn't this thread been moved to "Honorable Mention"??

 

[LJ]

I just read Jim's original post and posted above about what he did being a good great thing. I went back in to read some of the other comments......maybe this is why they didn't move it to "Honorable Mention"....lol.

Hey....there is a right and wrong way to do everything.....period!
