Sad commentary on our times...

I have a sad commentary on our times. Before I went to France I needed to buy a new big suitcase. I went to Penny's because they were having a sale, and I found a nice big rolling suitcase. When I started packing for my trip I discovered that inside my suitcase was a smaller suitcase - the store had never taken the smaller one out. Well I discovered this two days before my trip so I didn't have time to return the extra suitcase. Then when I got back from France we immediately left for California for the rest of the summer. So the suitcase just sat at the bottom of Ron's closet, taunting me. So I finally got around to returning it to Penny's yesterday. It eventually took an associate, assistant manager, and manager to figure out what to do with it. When I told each person in turn my story they were all completely SHOCKED!! They could not believe that I was actually being honest and returning it to the store. I was so glad that I did it, but I was also sad at how surprised they were at my honesty. What has this world come to that being dishonest is the norm and honesty is a rarity? It was definitely an eye opening experience for me.
