A jeweler refused to accept gold that was intended to be left on consignment, citing ethical and legal risks as reasons. The jeweler's words, "If things go wrong, the first to suffer will be the consigned money; I cannot take on that responsibility," garnered appreciation on social media.
A jeweler's refusal to accept gold that someone wanted to leave as a "deposit" has become a hot topic on social media. The jeweler firmly opposed the request of a person he has known for years who wanted to leave his gold, saying, "Take these and work with them."
"IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS"
Explaining his reasons for not accepting deposits, the jeweler emphasized that trust relationships may not be as they appear from the outside. "It doesn't matter that we've known each other for years. You see our faces here, but you don't know what we are like behind the scenes," said the jeweler, expressing that in the event of a potential commercial loss, the deposited money would be at risk.
"I CANNOT TAKE THIS RESPONSIBILITY"
"Let's say I accepted the deposit, and things went wrong, the money went under. The first debt to be settled would be your deposit. I cannot take this responsibility," said the jeweler, standing firm behind his decision, highlighting that trading with deposited gold carries both ethical and legal risks. As footage of those moments was shared on social media, many users commented on the jeweler's stance as an "example of honesty."
