(Not Very) Much Ado About (Almost) Nothing

 I was out of bread yesterday, Halloween, so I went to sNs to get a loaf. I didn't need other groceries, but I picked up a few yogurts and a bag of candy, for the holiday if anyone showed up. On checkout, I thought the price of almost $13 seemed high, for just 4 items, but chalked it up to those inflationary increases. I don't usually check prices on my grocery receipts, as everything is computerized anyway, but I happened to look at this receipt and saw I'd been charged for 2 bags of candy, at $3.99 each, when I'd only bought one bag. 

  I figured I should have noticed it at the time and reported it, because how could I prove that I hadn't left the store with the 2 bags of candy. I didn't feel like returning that evening, so I almost gave up on going back to the store to claim I hadn't received a paltry $3.99 item. 

But I had nothing else to do today, so decided to try my luck; maybe they'd believe me and tell me to pick up another bag of the candy. I needed some other stuff anyway. So I go to the Courtesy Desk and no one is there, as is usual. But I saw a man with a SNs shirt taking inventory, so I asked him if anyone would be at the desk. Soon a woman appeared behind the counter. I told her I had been double charged for an item and presented my receipt. She spoke not a word, but opened the register, counted out 4 dollar bills, and handed them  to me, along with my receipt. I said thank you and left.   (She didn't say "I came all the way out of the break room for this!"  But maybe she felt that way. 

   As I said, no big deal. 

Here I am at the computer, expecting to open Spelling Bee, which comes on at 3:a.m. While my clock reads 3:05 AM., the computer reads 2:05 AM. I suppose Daylight Savings has come to an end. So I wrote the above account to pass some time.
