A few months back I used self-checkout for a cart of groceries and instead of getting out my wallet to pay, I just got distracted and walked away…
When I got home, I was putting the groceries away and suddenly realized I didnt remember paying. Panic attack time. I was so sure of this that I called my wife at work and asked her what to do (I am not able to be rational when panicked.)
So I drive back to the store and tell the Customer Service desk that I think I walked off without paying. They literally didnt believe me, but humored me after I insisted. Eventually they located the Store Manager. 30 seconds after she showed up, she had my order pulled up, confirmed it was me and then had me swipe my card.
That whole thing could have gone much worse in any number of other ways. This kind of shit happens to me all the time. Eventually I will end up dead or in jail because of this shit.
Last week I forgot to pay for one of the items in my bag. Like genuinely forgot that I had it. Had to pay 165€ for shoplifting.
Also: meds cost the same amount as my phone bill. Adds up, too.
I dread this constantly.
