I went to Sam's at lunch time. $1.23 for lunch is hard to beat.

I went because they have a better fresh fruit supply than the local grocery stores. So I bought my fruit supply, and went to check out. They have about 8 self serve spots, and two with humans there and no line. So I push the cart into place and hand her my membership card. Of course they ask the standard "did you find everything" and I gave her my standard, no, I could not find the half price gold bars. She at least understood it was a joke and said they are aisle 1313 normally but they are back ordered again. So she had some sense of humor.

She scanned the card, and then started scanning the fruit. It just bleeped, and no price after twice over the register scanner. So she grabbed the hand held scanner and it just bleeped. She started looking for other bar codes anywhere and there was only the one. I joked that after three failures it means it must be free. She at least smiled but said no, I don't think so.

She whipped out her cell phone and looked it up, and said "what"? Then she realized for whatever reason my card did not scan right. So she scanned it again, all was well, and we were back in business. One reason I to use a human is I can just hand her a blank check, and it imprints it and she hands it back to me. So she inserted the check and then asked "full amount"? so I said "half off" and she did smile a little bit. So I said 10% off? and she just looked at me so I said just purchase amount. I did not need any cash back.

She did say I was full it it today, and I told her I always am.
