I picked up about $91 in groceries tonight and I'm angry at my stupidity.
First off, I didn't have the woman scan my card, or she didn't ask, so I didn't get discounts or credit for money off gas. Then, I left my huge package of TP under the cart, and even took the cart back into the store. I knew I would do it as soon as the cashier put it there. It's not even the fact that I pissed away $5 (or that I can't wipe my ass). It's the fact that I was so stupid. Like I can't let it go and process it to move on.
Grrrrrrrr...
The grocery store I go to would have pulled the paper from the cart and put it into a "holding" area so that when the customer comes back with the receipt, they hand it over.
I've done this a couple of times, but fortunately I live only a half mile from the store so it's a quick trip back.
Hmmm, well, you should probably go back and pickup the toilet paper for those silly squirts.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
At our local Kroger, they will fix your card afterward and refund your savings. Besides, they are more interested in the data about what you bought for $91, then the $10 or so you saved.
