So I went to TJ Maxx or whatever it's called today and did some shopping. There were two pairs of shoes I really liked and I debated about which ones to get because I thought buying two would be just too extravagant right now. But finally I caved and just decided "fuck it" and threw them both into the basket. (Rationalizing it as, I really need decent shoes, since most of my old good 'suitable for the office' nice girly shoes don't fit me so well now, post-pregnancy, and I'll be heading back to work after the new year, and they'd be so much more expensive in England, etc etc.)
Anyway, that store was kind of like a mess, you know, nothing seemed to be in its proper place and it was kind of hard to see what was on sale and what wasn't as lots of stuff seemed to be kind of randomly placed and all. Ultimately I ended up heading to the cashier with the two pairs of shoes, a sweater, and an anime-model-thingie for my 13 year old nephew who was with me.
Well the cashier, she was very nice but kind of a dipshit, one of these types that can talk for hours without taking a breath and says nothing, know what I mean? She rings me up and takes the security tags off of everything and tells me it comes to $38 and change. Now, right when we hit the checkout, the baby has started fussing and all so I am paying and trying to pay attention to her and also the cashier is still talking about god knows what, so I wasn't really concentrating.
We get in the car and on the way home it occurs to me - $38? I was pretty sure that the one pair of shoes was $25, and that the other was $30. And the sweater was about $20, and the model something like $6. So I'm thinking, OK well the store was, as I said, a bit of a mess, so maybe some of these things were, like, 50% off or something?
Well, when we got home I checked the reciept, and guess what? The silly girl has only rung up one pair of shoes and the model! So I wasn't charged for the top or the other pair of shoes.
Now you know, I could be in an ethical quandary about this, but you know what, I am soooo not. Score, baby! (y)
