I am not going to pay $40 to correct a $20 mistake committed by a store that I do business with. I might mention to the manager the next time I go to Target and offer to pay, but I’m certainly not going to go out of my way. Of course, if you put no value on your time, your decision would be otherwise.

Abe Lincoln walked 3 miles to return a penny.

Of course, eventually someone shot him in the head.

I don’t believe in fairy tales. But if the Honest Abe stories were true, then he put an extraordinarily low price on the value of his time.

Most folks won’t even bend over to pick up a penny for their own account, much less walk six miles for another’s.

I’m not sure that there is an actual cause and effect there though. (But it was one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long long time)
