In response to some other responses, I have to said I'm somewhat
disappointed in RGP. You don't do the right thing to avoid "karma being
a bitch", to gain a comp (you shouldn't need to be bribed to do the
right thing), to avoid the dunning phone calls at home, or even "because
it isn't worth ruining some clerk's life who would be fired or have to
make up the difference from pay" (sorry, Perry). You do the right thing
because its *right*. Period. It's not your money, and you have no
right to it whatsoever, regardless of who screwed up.

To Brian S. Slick, and to "Randy".... I would be proud to associate with
you or do business with you any day. Well said.

Unfortunately Jeff, the person (to our knowledge) has not yet returned the
money, and Perry is unfortuantely SPOT ON. The cashier in question is my
wife Peggy, she is on "suspension pending investigation". We just got our
insurance back, meaning I would be able to start regaining my health, but
now it looks like Santa Fe Station is going to let her go over the mistake.
I can't believe the person (who happens to be a middle-aged woman) didn't
notice and still has not returned the money. We'll know on Monday whether
or not Peg has a job.
