Let's hope there's free beer somewhere tomorrow! I love free beer.
The other day I didn't exactly get free beer, but it was beer that got me something free: 50 pounds of Scoop Away® kitty cat litter! Here's how:
I went to the Target because the Target has the cat litter that Pork Chop and I like. It comes in 25 pound cartons and I buy a couple of them, because trekking out to Target kinda stinks. So I snag a cart and Tokyo drift the fucker over to the pet section, haul two of the big, heavy cartons into the cart and push over to the beer section. I throw a 30-pak of Coors® Light™on top of the cat litter, then push over to the cleaning supplies section. I throw a couple more things in and push to the checkout counter. At lane 4, I queue up behind a lady with a package of dish towels, a squeegee, lime Jell-o® and a car battery. She paid with coins, so it took a while. I spaced out for a bit.
When it was my turn, I turned the beer carton on its barcode side and the counter gal leaned over from her station and scanned it. I said, "there are two boxes of cat litter here too," and she said, "can I see your ID?" I dug it out and handed it over. She then scanned the cleaning supplies while I put my ID away. She asked if I wanted the bags I brought separated (there were two brown paper bags with handles doubled-up (for strength)) and I said no thanks. Then she asked to see my American Express card, which I had swiped through the zapper a moment before she asked about the bags. I showed it to here and she handed it back, hit a button, and gave me my receipt.
I was pushing the thing out the door when it struck me that she didn't zap the cat litter. I pushed a little farther and was convinced that she didn't zap it. I checked the receipt and sure enough, there wasn't a charge for 50 pounds of Scoop Away®. I chalked it up to one of those times when the dust settles in your favor. That and beer stepping up and working magic.
