Hot, Hot Days of Summer

We are having days of 99 and 100 with plenty of humidity which makes it very muggy.

I haven't had much to blog about. Crocheting fills my afternoons after mornings spent running errands before it gets toohot to touch the car.

Two things happened recently which involve buying yarn. At one store I did not get a cart and carried several skeins of yarn back to the check out register with one tucked under my right arm pit. I put them all on the counter except the one under my arm. She rang up the yarns, I paid and suddenly realized I had another skein. She laughed and said she hadn't seen it. So another ring up and I paid and got out of there.

Several days later at a different store,I had a coupon with a percentage "off." I put both skeins on the counter with the coupon and said, "I have a coupon for one of them."  She rang it up along with two other items that my husband bought. The total didn't seem out of line but when I got home, I looked at the ticket. The clerk had only charged me for one skein.

It was too warm to go back that afternoon, but the next morning we went back and I paid up! She thanked me and said it had happened to her. We agreed that if they had made a mistake by overcharging, the customer would want it corrected.

From the replies on social media to the dilemma, everybody agreed it was the right thing to do.

I knew that already.
