This morning I weighed 216.6 pounds.
I wonder if you’ve ever had this
experience, most likely when you are far from home: you are paying
for your purchases at an unfamiliar supermarket. The cashier asks if
you have the card for that particular supermarket chain, and you
don’t. When the cashier learns that you do not have a card, he or
she turns to someone nearby, perhaps a regular customer, and asks to
borrow their card so that you get the lower price bargains. I’m not
sure this is what the supermarket owners have in mind, but it gives
the visiting shopper a very pleasant feeling.
And that’s nothing. I can take this
anecdote to the next level.
In my case, I was at a Fry’s in
Tucson. When the cashier learned that I did not
have the card, she called to the shopper who had just paid, ahead of
me, “Rodney, can I use your Fry’s card for this guy?”
Rodney frantically searched his
pockets. “Did you give my card back to me?”
They found the card misplaced near the
register. She used it for my purchases, and returned it to a very
happy Rodney.
