I was picking a couple of things up on my way to work tonight, and while in the line at the store, the clerk picked up the bag with my donuts in it (2 fritters) and asked "Only 1?"

Me:
Clerk - Store Clerk
SC - Woman behind me in line
GC - Woman behind her (Good Customer dressed in a business-style pants suit)
Me: No, 2 (they are pretty small for apple fritters)
Clerk: Ok *proceeds to ring up the rest of my stuff*
SC: "You should have kept your mouth shut, you would have gotten a free one."
Me: "That would have been dishonest." *looking somewhat smug at her*
SC: *shrugs* "Your loss"
Me: "So, YOU would have stolen from the store in that case?"
SC: *sputters*
Me: "Because that's what it would have been, theft."
SC: *Cat-but face*
Me: *to cashier* "That means you should double check each and every one of her items, and coupons just to make sure she isn't trying to pull a fast one."
Clerk:![EEK!](https://www.customerssuck.com/board/core/images/smilies/eek.png)
Me: *toothy-grin at SC*
GC: "Makes sense to me. If she advises others to steal, she'll likely do it herself if she has the chance.
Me: *folding my debit-card receipt into my wallet* "Don't worry too much about it. If there's any trouble about this, I'll take the heat." *winks*
It's nice to put someone in their place.
