Wish me luck!!

Today I have to go back to the same store where I keep leaving my grocery bags at the counter.  (There is an alarming paucity of Little Debbie Snack Cakes in my home.)

Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t embarrass myself again.  I need to walk out with ALL my bag, so that a polite young person doesn’t have to chase me.

How do I make the same embarrassing mistake at the same store one week later?  (You guessed it — I left one of my packages at the counter again, and the poor, beleaguered, young cashier had to run out after the confused old guy with it.)

It’s like a humiliating glitch in The Matrix.

A lot of us can do better … most of us, in fact.  Recognizing this is the first step towards greater intellectual honesty and better thinking.
