I was sitting on my porch and saw a coopers hawk catch a Eurasian dove in mid flight! It was spectacular to see.
I saw a Perrigin Falcon swoop down on bird in flight, miss, alter course over the road I was driving on and give chase into the tree line to my right. Awesome to watch.

So I go to buy gas at the grocery store, so I can cash in my points on my $0.80 off a gallon. Half way through pumping, the pump starts slowing down and then just stops. Car takes 16 gallons and I'm at 8. Now you only get to use the points all at once, and restarting another transaction would mean I couldn't get the discount.

I go up to the booth, explain what happened, and the attendant (female early 20s) says let me call the store manager and see if we can get your points reloaded. After a few minutes she says we can't reload your points, your card has zero points on it now, but go to a different pump and we will pay you back in cash, the discount you would have had on the first pump.

Ok great, sounds easy enough. Put the nozzle back, and finalize the discounted transaction. Drive to the next pump, put 8 gallons in, I go up to the booth to get my refund.

Gas was $4 a gallon with the $0.80 off. She hands me back $25.60! I pause and said, "That's not right, that's too much!" She insisted that she was right, and that's what the store manager said to do. She said to just take the money. Hmmm...

I said how are you getting to this number? She said the manager told her to take what I SPENT on the 2nd pump and multiply it by 0.80

A few minutes go by as I explain to her the mistake. I said you owe me $6.40

She was embarrassed (maybe misunderstood what the manager said or maybe they did tell her to do that?) and thanked me for being honest. I told her I didn't want her to get in trouble, and I don't take what's not mine. Gen Z
