Not the way I was raised...you mess up, you own up to the fact and fix it...not slither off like a spineless worm.

And then there is all those security cameras. You can't spit on the sidewalk without it going down on tape here.

And usually in the airline business if you screw up, you go running to your boss screaming "I screwed up! I screwed up" and everything will usually work itself out. In fact a team of folks will try to figure out how to keep someone else from doing what you did. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND if you try to cover up, dodge and especially lie, you will get fired.

Character aside, (I would have done the same at Wal-Mart) it was in my best interest to fess up. And the guy is a real nice fellow who deserves better.
