A Log Fit For Burning

“Got scrap? You call we haul! W.W.J.D.” Yeah, he’d probably call.

I’m pretty sure that “Au Bon Pain” is French for “The Good Pain”, which would be half-accurate

So I just bought a six-pack from the Meijer Thrifty Acres at the end of my street. I used the robot checkout lines because I’m conditioned to think they’re faster. I scanned my beer and the robot told me that I had to wait for verification. I gave my ID to the girl who should know me by now and she proceeded to answer the phone and get into a conversation. The screen on my robot was asking for my birthday so I typed it in and proceeded to pay for my beer. The phone girl realized what I had done and got somewhat upset. She told me that she couldn’t allow me to do that next time (good luck) and that she could lose her job because I did that. On the inside I was saying “you’d better pay more attention next time”. On the outside I was laughing at her. I’m not sure which was the appropriate response…
