Oct. 24th, 2005 11:34 pmIf 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.
