    New guy at the yard...

    The guy at the scale told me that all the wire was #2. I showed him the #1 stuff he pulled out a few pieces than said ok. I go into get paid and see that he mixed up the weights on the #1 and #2 insulated in my favor. I told the pay out guy he could switch them back as I will be overpaid on it. He said ok, but kept it the same so I made an extra $11.25.



    It pays to speak up and also to be honest
