What makes people mean?
A couple of weekends ago I was in the grocery store, Walmart to be exact. Yes I know. I hate it too. I feel horrible shopping there, but I feel worse if I don’t feed my kids…
Anyway, I had done my shopping, gotten in line, was completely checked through, gave the check out girl my $20 in cash, and then reached for my card… and it wasn’t there. Other than feeling the complete panic of losing my card, my mind quickly raced through possibilities. Right before I’d gone to Walmart I had stopped at the atm, where I’d used my card (and gotten the $20) and remembered distinctly taking my card back. I had the $20 bill in my wallet (where my card belongs) and also the receipt, but no card which was VERY strange. Knowing I’d had it when getting into my car but not at the time that the check out girl was looking at me made me realize that it had to be a) in the car or b) somewhere in the store (god that would have been a horror- do you know how BIG walmart stores are?).
