A couple of weeks ago, I left about $20 worth of groceries on the turntable.
I wrote it off, as it was my own darned fault I didn't pick up that bag.
Sometimes the cashier will notice and alert me that I've left a bag behind,
but this guy was a space cadet. I swear, if you looked up "stoner" in the
dictionary, you'd see his picture.

I don't often have that problem, because I generally use brightly-colored
reusable bags and it's easy to see when I've got them all. But this trip
I was in a hurry, and I know that bagging is faster if I let the store
give me their plastic bags, so that's what I did, much to my chagrin.
