I treat people the way I want to be treated. I am guilty of pre-judging at times (like when I get stopped on the street by someone asking for money for "coffee"), but I generally try not to. That is because I was a skinny, 98-lb weakling in high school, and I didn't like the way some people treated me. Lots of education, self-improvement classes later, I'm generally treated with respect, but I still remember those times way back when.

Great, great story, and you deserved every bit of it. Congratulations on being an outstanding member of the human race.

It's amazing how many people who work in the more "premier" forms of retail don't understand that.

I once had an amp that had accident (vase of water...) and was looking to get it repaired; went into one of the audio shops.

Now, my amp was a little low-end NAD unit, and it turned out these guys only sell Marantz and a few other, similar bits and pieces. They obviously saw themselves as a cut above, because while they were good enough to tell me where the local NAD dealer was, as I walked out of the shop, one of the guys on the counter snidely added, "Come back when you're ready for some real equipment."

I've averaged about $2k a year on component audio for the past 6 years since that incident. I've never spent a penny at that store, and I never will.

It's a shame you didn't get to accept the $1000 tip. That woulda made it 13K. Still nice though. Only goes to show that you really can't judge a book by its cover.

Since I read this thread this morning, I can't help laughing and thinking of it every time I see a Mercedes.
