It's FREE cause I drank all of it BEFORE getting to the register

I'd go to the produce department, find the biggest, heaviest apple there is and keep it by the register for just such a situation.

I think I go go one better. Find somewhere that sells fishing tackle. Get the smallest half pound weight you can find. Label it "Missing produce wight sample. Use once per item"

That, incidently, is what I do. XD I keep them waiting while I ask a supervisor for an apple; they will always without exception take the largest apple of that type they can find and hand it to me for weighing.

Lace, too bad it would be way too mean to also make sure it's an organic apple (if they're more expensive).

Both excellent ideas. I wish I'd though of that when I worked there. Thankfully, I haven't worked there in years.

I'm still floored, after over 20 years in retail, by the sight of people eating bags of chips and drinking from bottles of drinks on their way to pay for them. You don't do that. It's not yours, yet. Give me your money FIRST, and THEN you may consume the product.

......so genius daddy decides to go to the bananas, pick ONE off, and feed it to junior while they stroll around shopping. They come up to the register. Daddy throws empty banana peel at me and tells me to ring up ONE banana.

Oh, I see you saved the wrapper, I'll just scan the UPC . . . ,
