When things are unjust, it’s hard to let it happen, but most of the time you don’t really have an audience unless you record it and go viral.

See how the person in this story inspired a resolution.

Petty but awesome

We rented a dump trailer. It was supposed to be 14k trailer.

Straight out the gate, 2 tires are bad and on the verge of tread separation.

So I go back and spend 2 hours there while they round up tires.

Finally get on the road, another tire goes bad so I say screw it and put their spare on.

That was a taste of trouble to come.

We get to the job site.

Put 5 yards of dirt in it, and could not get it to dump. Pulled 2 yards out with the mini excavator, still couldn’t.

So I call the rental place, and tell them what is going on.

Owner says bring it back and I’ll make it right.

The rental fee was for 7 days and it came out to 945.

He apologized and knocked 35 dollars off the bill.

As you could imagine, I’m not happy.

I say I should be refunded everything because I haven’t even had it a day let alone the 7 I rented it for.

He tells me he cannot refund the money because someone else could have rented it in the time I had it.

So I leave pretty annoyed.

I go outside, call my boss, and he asks, “Do you have 100 dollar bill in your pocket?” I say yes and he says “Go back in and tip the owner, and don’t leave unless he takes it.”

He’s about to make an impact.

So I go back in, hand him the money, and he asks what is this for?

I say it’s a tip for all the help your guys gave me today and for your efforts in making it right.

He looks at me with a look like it was kinda a dirtbag thing I did and then tries to give it back.

I said no sir, you have plenty of my money, this is for your employees. Give them a pizza party or buy them coffee on me please.

The owner had most of his crew in the lobby when this all transpired, so he was extremely embarrassed.

I hope he gave them the party.

There were enough of them there to witness what I said.

Oddly enough, a few days later, the full refund hit my account.

Here is what people are talking about.

So did I!

I like that he and his boss collaborated on it.

Such a boss move!

I hope so!

Don’t rip people off and then this won’t happen.

End of story.
