I am also guessing that she accidentally did this. unless of course there is past incidences.....
Further pondering has me picturing the next shopper checking out and noticing that the total is too high and the list of items too long. No idea how long the subsequent steps might take to start running down the "culprit". Should she pack a lunch when comes into the sheriff's office to turn herself in??

Guess I still haven't gotten over the shock that stores offer this "self check-out" option, given what I've come to understand about human nature. Honor systems don't even seem to have that fine a record at the Ivies. I think I've read that groceries have something like a 1% profit margin. Can't wrap my head around how that and self check-out - along with the "usual" "slippage" could work.

Some TOTV's days seem to be much more entertaining than others. :-)
