RETIRED: Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

Is it like that movie where the guy gets his horse drunk? Was that True Grit. I know I am wrong but it was hysterical

Okay, this is a long one, but please bear with me.

Did anyone ever work in a grocery store as a cashier? I have a problem and don't know which option would be better for the kid who rang up my Ralphs purchases.

I had that Pemmican coupon (and I honestly don't remember how much it was good for, so if you still have it or remember the value of it, please let me know). At any rate, I went to Ralphs after "work" and asked where they sold the jerky. I was told that it was on aisle 12 and also around the various cash registers (I guess it's an impulse purchase for some people). There were none on aisle 12, but I found a large package near the end of the customer line, so put it into my cart. There was no price on it.
Well the store was packed and everyone in a rush, including the cashier. He looked at the coupon took off the price and I paid for the rest of the items. I didn't know the price of the jerky until I got home and looked at the register receipt -- it was almost $11.00. I'm certain that the coupon was worth nowhere near that price.

As it takes me two buses to get to Ralphs and another two to get home, I didn't immediately return to fix the mistake. But now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not certain I even should go back and tell them what happened.

1. Will the cashier get in trouble for giving me the wrong credit because management will notice his mistake?
2. Will he get in trouble if I go back and point out the error because no one would have noticed it otherwise?

I don't know how grocery stores work but I'm hoping someone here does and will let me know the best thing to do. Please note: I would have no problem ripping Ralphs off for the entire $11 because I've had enough stuff I've purchased not make it into my bag over the years. I just don't want to get the cashier in trouble.

22 hrs of daylight sounds like it would be so Awesome, but I imagine it wrecks havoc on sleeping

Well Frosty only ever gets about a quarter size lick of the stuff. But his behavior when he sees the bottle is the best. He'll chase you around the barn, side stepping and bobbing his head. And if it's a plastic bottle of Mike's she'll give it to him unopened and he'll gum it around in his mouth after grabbing it from her. Oh, and he also plays the rake - one talented horse!

Somehow touching the "end call" cell button just don't feel near as good as "slamming" the phone down to hang up on someone.

Well it could mess with the sleep. Two things could happen though - one, if you're young enough (not me) your metabolism adjusts and you can exist on less sleep, or two - you get black-out drapes for your bedroom! Ya'll know about those running marathons - well up here we can have 'em at midnight in the middle of summer! It's super for the gardens too!

I have a flip phone, I slam it shut.
