I went shopping today and I think I made a big mistake.. When I checked out the cashier told me the amount was $86.87, and then asked if I had a discount card.. Normally I ask them to use the store card out of habit, and believe it or not I made the mistake of doing that.. I normally have an internalized “policy” that I always use the store card amount for the amounts, but still in retrospect I think it was crazy to do that then.. But also I think it was subconsciously showing “trust” that the amount would still be good also with the discount applied.. But anyway the amount ended up being $84.83 with a checkout time of 2:02. I think if the checkout time would have been 2:01 instead, my mistake of applying the discount would have made me even more upset with myself and depressed, but I’m still bummed out about that situation nonetheless.
So.. I went shopping again in the evening, but I got bad amounts that time. I had a feeling that it wasn’t going to come out well when I was checking out. I think the cashier seemed to sense that also and she seemed to be trying to help by slowing down the checkout process. The total was $46.60, with a checkout time of 8:17.
So that’s pretty bad.. I always hate it when I get the 6’s.. But the situation always seems to rebound the next time around. I’m sorry about flubbing the earlier amount, although I wonder what the two 2’s would have meant. I’m sure the amounts will come out well soon, perhaps it isn’t quite time for it to happen.
Anyway my work is cut out for me. There is a lot I can continue to be doing in the meantime. I’m sure things will work out soon.. I hope all is well.
