Very strange reaction indeed. I am very glad that you decided to at least attempt to return the money. You have also learned that this store may not be the most reputable around either. This is a good lesson since it may prevent you from purchasing any more weapons from this shop that, with attitudes like that, may not be above selling stolen weapons and equipment.
It just boggles the mind sometimes how our fellow man treats their own kind. Of course because of this disrespectful and sometimes harmful treatment this gun forum exists.
I contacted the owner of the Gun & Pawn shop, by phone, and explained what had happened, well it turns that the shop is closing at the end of the month due a necessary "medical retirement" and the clerk is his grandson who has "issues" but unfortunately is the only help available at this time. The owner said he was very sorry about the everything and not to worry about the $30.00 and if I wanted to stop by his store would give me some ammo for my troubles.
Once at a gun show I traded a gun + $100 for another gun, did the deal and continued around the show. Later while checking my pocket I notice another extra $100 bill, I guess we both forgot about the $100.
I was tempted to leave $100 ahead, but my conscious got the better of me and I went back and gave him the money.
He couldn't have cared any less, maybe his pride was hurt for screwing up.
I've had a couple of clerks go sideways on me for trying to return money that they erroneously gave me.
The worst time was a guy at a 7-11. He screamed and yelled that once the register was closed, it was too late to correct an error. I merely politely mentioned that I think he gave me too much change. Afterward I thought about it and realized that this guy deals with winos, bums and middle school kids all day. He probably gets 10 people trying to scam him per day. It was simply beyond the realm of his comprehension that someone could be trying to help him out.
In my experience, pawnshops are similar. They deal with people who are trying to scam them all day. Of course, 95% of people in there are fine folks, it just the 5% that are meth heads and trying to pawn their stolen stuff, or trying to wheedle a nickle out of the pawnshop. The pawnshop employees get used to dealing with these people, and it colors their interaction with all the customers.
So sorry the shop is closing; as we need all the "good people" in the
business that we can get. After thinking about my previous post, I
will have to agree that you did the right thing. In the future, I hope
everything works out well for all parties concerned~!
