This gets interesting sometimes. Last December, I called a local music store to discuss a certain electronic thing for my son. The owner quoted me $180.00, a nice price on this thing. When I got to the store, the owner wasn't there and couldn't be reached. The lady running the place was not aware of the low price I'd been quoted. She asked if it would be OK to charge me the normal $200.00, and issue a credit later. Since I know these people well, I agreed. She called later that day and said the credit had been issued. She mailed me the Visa slip, but I noticed that instead of crediting me the $20.00+tax difference, she'd credited the entire purchase price. I called and asked if she intended to replace the original transaction with another for $180.00 + tax. To make a long story short, she was convinced she'd done the right thing.
I kept all the paperwork, figuring the owner would catch up with the mistake at some point. A month later, when I got my Visa bill, there was no sign of the store having eventually charged me the right amount. So, I stopped in, showed the owner all the little slips, as well as the Visa bill, and said "Look - I owe you $180.00!" He disagreed. Several times, in fact. I gave up. I'm certainly not this guy's biggest customer, so I doubt he was giving me a Christmas gift.
Bizarre. I run my own small business & that is an amount I would definately notice.
Nope, you'd no more notice that amount than that you spelled 'definitely' incorectly. And the apersand is for connecting proper nouns, otherwise it confuses... what kind of stupid expression is "business & that"?

Why do you feel the need to brag about your honesty? Maybe you are too snarky to get please and thank you. LOL
I didn't brag - the OP asked if this happened to other people - I gave two examples of when I was honest and people were surprised about it.
You're just an [censored].

The OP did not even ask a question. DUH! Go look in the mirror if you want to see the "HOLE".
BTW...You have a nasty mouth for such a lovely do-gooder! LOL
From the OP: "One of my sons (who works as a waiter to support his studies) asked me today if I had ever been "undercharged" for anything and if so, what I had done about it." There may not be a question mark, but there is an implied question in the post. So get over yourself.
