The real kick
was, I didn't even have to buy the screwdriver. There
was no visible damage to the screwdriver tip from my careful work,
so it went back on the shelf.
I find this mroally very wrong. I can't believe
yor tool shops offer
a free lending service for tools, I know ours don't.
Generally, I would agree with you. But I also could easily see
establishing a friendly relationship with a tool shop over the years,
to the point where they might well be willing to lend me a tool briefly
under such circumstances.
Absent more information, I don't feel ready to hold an opinion on
whether anything morally wrong happened.
