The patrons left a $5.00 tip for Carl on a $200.00 bill and left a note saying, “Go back to school if you want more money.” Carl was so upset that he went home and posted on Facebook about how cheap, stinky, and ugly the patrons were.

Rodny (the salesperson) had never seen the Laptop before that morning and knew nothing of its history but quickly answered Ben’s question by stating: ‘No. It has never been damaged’. In fact, the Laptop had been seriously damaged previously and, although repaired and bought during the sales, it was worth much less than the value Ben had paid.
