Why has no one suggested that he just not shop there anymore? You must have 6 other convenient stores just as close. There was a gas station near my house years back. My dad brought an almost empty 2 gallon gas can there once to fill up for the lawn mower. When he filled it up, he pumped out 2.2 gallons. How do you fit 2.2 gallons of gas in a 2 gallon can that already has a little bit of gas in it? Multiply that discrepancy by the size of a car's tank and by the number of cars that pass through each day....
I wouldn't exactly call lying, cheating and in a sense, stealing, "little things". I like my neighborhood Citgo where the Indian family that works there only charges $5.99 for a 4 pack of Guiness.
Juan, someone actually did get busted for doing something like that. I think I read it in the newspaper like a year back. One gas station owner was caught cheating his customers. Only like 0.98 gallon of gas was coming out for every gallon. They figured out he was profiting by thousands of dollars every year and busted his ass. While we are talking about Indians, here is one. A while ago I got a home entertainment system installed from this one guy. He was white. When it came time to pay him, I paid him without a hassell. He looked a little bit surprised. I told him that I was really happy with his job and would refer him to anyone looking to get a HE system installed. Well he asked me very politely not to recommend him to any Indians. I asked why? He said 90% always try to bargain after the job is done and complain about the high prices. Instead of being mad (I am Indian as well of course) I knew exactly where he was coming from and busted out laughing. Of course I am also not saying that all of us are cheap. But living in India does make a good bargainer out of you. I know many Indians that would make NBA players look like beggars. Some of them are cheap beyond anyones wildest imagination, and some of them spend like there is no tomorrow.
I had a friend in high school who worked for a supermarket and pulled that crap all the time....that, or he would just say $4 without ringing it up and pocket the money. Needless to say, he was fired. I have no idea what he's doing today.
You started too high Surf. I would have started at, "Hey, that soda is 19 cents!" Then he would have met you in between somewhere, around a buck.
Alright, Alright, Big things. Some Indian people are just downright horrible. Some are the rudest, most crooked people on Earth. But, just like the people of any other race, we also have our bright spots.
