Grocery Store

When Chris and I went to the grocery store tonight, we had a completely unexpected experience at the checkout. The checker casually, yet I have to believe purposefully, missed scanning a number of our items. I wasn't watching horribly closely, but I did see it happen once. He swiped the item by the scanner but it didn't beep and he just moved on to the next item. At the end of the checkout, I asked if he scanned the dog food on the bottom of the cart. He said he had, but I could tell by his voice he hadn't.

Once in the parking lot, Chris and I discussed in low voice what had just happened. I was in complete disbelief. Chris and I were sure that the checker completely knew what was going on and he didn't care. What in the world would motivate the checker to give us free stuff? When we got home and put everything away, I did a little calculation. The total of the free items added up to over $50!

I totally feel guilty.
