		<description>There&#039;s morally conscientious and there&#039;s lazy ... and annoyed that their mistake causes me one more chore on my already overbooked to do list.  It&#039;s not a justification for keeping the ridiculously overpriced cosmetic item, simply how my thoughts and energy level run.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Plus, I&#039;ve had so many of those security alarms go off, to include the public library (when I know they de-magnetized the books one by one) that I would never stop to examine the items in my bag and compare to the receipt.  So, like you, I woulda kept on walking.</description>

		<description>Hi there, I just noticed you came to visit me and you are a new Referrer via WP.  So, as I always do (OMG, I can not spell today) pop by to see who it is.  Much to my surprise, there I sit/sat (oh, hell...there goes the grammar too...not a good day?) on your blogroll!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you so much.  I am very flattered and honoured.  Usually I just say the above in my comment and it is completely without context to the post but I did read this so maybe I can say something?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Okay, bad day? I&#039;m really messed up as I thought you went shopping Saturday as in yesterday.  That&#039;s &quot;Boxing Day&quot; here; the day after Charming Christmas and they have all of these sales.  In a comment to another commenter, I said only with loads of money, earplugs and a blindfold could you perhaps drag me out! Ugh! As if you think shopping &lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt; Charming Christmas is bad enough?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Which brings me back to your post--which because I am so ADD today I had to read twice.  However, I am rather sure I am taking a stroll down &quot;ADD Avenue&quot; due to this comment.  Which may go on forever.  Like my posts do.  When this happens.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I had to laugh when you told me about looking at receipts and then needing to consult your therapist.  Oh, I some (most?) times can not bear it either! It&#039;s like, &quot;How did that happen?&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*bells ringing in PAs ears like cash registers from her Bipolar Days that can still come back occasionally*&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Those security things bother me too.  Most times, I am tempted to simply hoist my purchases right over them but I am tiny and short.  So if what I buy is too damn large, no way.  Sometimes I&#039;ve seen a Security Guard there but...?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am no thief and I do understand that retail sales people can make mistakes when they are busy.  For such a small purchase? Oh, my conscience is so huge! Still...oh, I can&#039;t even ponder weighing price vs. guilt right now.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Although the security tags on clothing are a must.  With those, you need to take them back as if you even try to remove them, you get some purple blast all over it and you or who knows? It&#039;s like you&#039;ve robbed a bank or abducted someone and the ransom money is marked as such.  You open the bag and you get green spray paint all over yourself that can never be removed!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Again, thanks for blogrolling me.  I&#039;ve got you Bookmarked so I can come back and read some more.  I like what I see.</description>

		<description>Sorry your new BFF handed you such a moral dilemma! The Resident Rev. and I both agree that you&#039;re not obligated to go back and pay, but to offer is the right thing to do. Wait until it&#039;s convenient for you, or call the manager in advance to explain the situation and maybe they&#039;ll comp it!</description>
