Apparently, I'm a thief

I did my monthly Wal-Mart run - I bought all my groceries & odds & ins and had a basket full. . .I decided to go through the "self-checkout" line just for fun. At one point, the stupid thing told me that I had an "unscanned item in the bagging area." The lady came over to clear the machine & checked out my bags. "You must scan EVERY item" she saids to me, like I'm an idiot. As she goes through the offending bag she locates the source of the problem - I neglected to scan one set of lightblubs. . .it was an honest mistake - I was buying 4 sets of them, and I just ran them through the scanner one after another & I guess one set didn't register. (Note: 1 set of lightbulbs costs 77 cents). I scanned them again - put them back in the bag & all was well except that the lady gave me a "your a thief" look.

As I tried to leave Wal-Mart, the nice dude at the door informed me that I had been randomly selected for a basket audit "to check the integrity" of the machines and such. You'll never guess what happend. . .every item in my basket was on ticket. Imagine that!
