| Keywords: almost stolen almoststolen breakfast project 365 project365 shopping text writing This is my shopping for breakfast and it comes with a story that will surely make Karin proud. After a terrible night's kip (I know what 4am looks like) I decided to get up and walk to Asda whilst it was still cool for my Saturday morning crusty bread. I got my bits then headed for a self service checkout. When I got there, there was thirty quid in notes just sitting on the weighing scale. I called the assistant over, and she realised that it almost certainly belonged to one of a bunch of lads who were sitting on a coach in the car park (no idea why) that was literally about to depart. She got into a very active discussion with a colleague about whether or not they could intercept the bus. All the while I was scanning my shopping through, then I put my basket, and one from the neighbouring till that had been abandoned, neatly on the pile and went on my merry way. Halfway down the road outside the supermarket I realised that I had absolutely no recollection of actually paying for the stuff! I checked my pockets, wallet and the bag for receipts and couldn't find any, so I headed back to the shop. I left my bag with the security card, explaining that "I think I've just f**ked off without paying" and went back to the tills, to sure enough find that I had actually absconded in a piece of shoplifting brilliance! The assistant did tell me that she thought walking off without paying was a bit inconsistent with not pocketing loose cash, and blessedly I wasn't arrested. I think I left the security guard in a state of shock that I'd actually come back though. Oops. I blame the heat. Laura blames the stroke. Make it a combination - heatstroke? ;) This is my shopping for breakfast and it comes with a story that will surely make Karin proud.
