Heh, okay. It scanned just fine, then I stood there like ... what do I
do with this? and put it down to continue checking out. The minder person
came over and said, where did you put that coupon??? You're supposed to

I don't do produce that you have to weigh in the self-checkout lane,
now I won't do coupons.
