A bad apple ruined it for the whole bunch. There are still good people out there. I know we all just hate to see a good person being taken advantage of.
This summer, I was doing business with a gentleman from out of state. He had known me all of 5 minutes and when I went to pay with a credit card, he said that he doesn't take credit cards, just checks or cash. I had been out riding earlier and literally only had the one card in my pocket so I started thinking where is an ATM. The guy then hands me the merchandise and tells me to send him a check! I was shocked. In fact, I kept getting onto him saying he shouldn't do that...he shouldn't be so trusting, what if I died, etc. Of course, I wrote him a check as soon as I walked into my house but I'll never forget that.
