If I wasn't an honest person, we'd be over $200 richer.

I found myself in Safeway today (they have carts with ride-in toddler cars attached to the front - seemed a good way to entertain Leif for a while), and decided to get a pumpkin. Apparently when you buy a pumpkin, you get a coupon for a free pumpkin spice latte. While digging my coupon out of the cash register drawer, she removed some large bills along with it. Then she tried to give them to me as change. I explained that I had overpayed by less than a dollar, not with a $500 dollar bill, and that I'd already received my change from the little coin dispenser.

It was very bizarre. Who finds themselves with several hundred dollars in their hand, and tries to give it to the customer as change? For that matter, do I really look like the type of customer who would accidently forget several hundred dollars worth of change?

On second thought, I probably do look that absent-minded enough at least.

Oh well. I still get free caffeine.

Gah, more honest than me, I probably would have kept it. :) Back when I was more honest than I am now I had a woman at a grocery store give me too much change(not as much as you; I paid with a dollar and got change back for 10) and she got irrate with me and insisted she was right and made me take the money. She probably would have gotten fired for her till being under though, so nice of you to give it back.
