Trapped!

No, not me.  But a lady I met at Costco today almost was.

She was behind me in line at the snack bar (I can’t resist a 59 cent fountain Diet Coke).  She suddenly realized that she had lost the receipt for her purchases.  The receipt that you MUST show at the exit so they can make sure you have everything you paid for (really, that’s what the sign says).  “They won’t let me out of here!” she said, only half jokingly.

I pointed out that there are worse places to be stuck.  After all, Costco has mattresses, plenty of food, TVs, books and a restroom.  She’d be a lot better off than that guy Charlie was when he got stuck on the MTA.

She found her receipt before she bought her drink, so I assume they let her out after all.

    Hubby just got a Costco membership for his business and can you believe I have not made it there yet? Probably a good thing…for our bank account!
