had this happen to me before. I was in the pharmacy this morning to pick up a prescription. While in Walgreens I also purchased some Russell Stover Chocolate Easter eggs. (I LOVE those things.) The cashier rang up my candy and forgot to ring up the prescription. I was almost home before I realized it. So this meant another trip to the store to pay for my prescription. The manager must have thanked me a dozen times. I feel sure the cashier got a lovely talking to after I left.
My stash…
My favorite..
It took me 4 intervals working on my car yesterday to get it all cleaned off. When the driveway was plowed they put about a foot of snow smack up against my car. When the sidewalk was cleaned with the snow blower the snow was packed tight around my tires. I hurt so bad in my arms, neck, shoulders and back last night that I couldn’t find enough ways to use the heating pad. I will never do that again. I will wait for my daughter to come over and help me. I keep thinking that I am still a spring chick when the fact is that I am an old hen. lol
The sun is shining brightly today and it is 31 degrees. The temps melted some of the snow yesterday. Our final official total for Pekin was 9.3 inches which was about 9 inches too much as far as I was concerned.
I hope you are all having a sunny week. Stay safe and be happy!
Beth
I thought of you when I heard how much snow you got down there. We got a little, just a dusting really, but you guys really got hit hard! Don't we all think we can still do the things we did when we were actually spring chickens lol. Hope you feel better today. Take care now ya hear!
ReplyDeleteOh Sis it is usually the brain that work fast and our common sense to keep up in doing things we shouldn't do. I know the next day we really pay for it in so many ways. I do hope you will be okay from all that. Do take care of yourself. I like your Easter choices..not too many places around here carry them. I do remember them though. Hope your day is warmer than yesterday. Take care XOXO
ReplyDeleteI think it was 9.3 inches too much. After all we were suppose to have an "early spring". Hope the aches and pains have eased up.
ReplyDeleteIf I had been the manager, I'd offer you some more candy for free.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with Parsley ^ I would have offered you some free candy as well! Wonderful of you to be so honest by the way. It's truly always the best policy. By the way, I can't believe I've never had Russell Stover Chocolate Easter eggs!!
ReplyDeleteHonesty is always the best course...whether they gave you more then thanks or not I believe it was planting a good seed...I pray you get a wonderful crop soon! I am no fan of shoveling or snow blowing either. It's been cold but we hit the sixties come Thursday...I'm hoping this carries through for a decent Easter...that's a rare thing in these parts. Blessings to you my friend.
ReplyDeleteyour candies will help with the muscle aches - i'm certain of it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe cashier is probably thanking God you were an honest person. A lot of companies take any shortages out of the employees check. I love the Easter eggs. We just had a huge Rusell Stover outlet open here last month. I need to go see what they have for Easter.
ReplyDeleteWell done Beth ...Hope your muscles ease soon and nice warm pad. Easter eggs yummy almost there , thicker the chocolate the better.

You are in good company with Abraham Lincoln. They say he walked some miles to return a penny which was a lot in those days. Honesty is so important. I sure hope you get Springtime soon. Take care. BGB
ReplyDeleteWhat a pain that they pushed and then packed the snow behind your car!
ReplyDeleteYou are a great person for going back to pay. So many wouldn't, just shows what an amazing person you are!
Now I want some of that candy as well because jelly beans are almost gone. I have so little will power! My husband calls that heavy and wet snow heart attack snow. Be careful - it's dangerous to do so much as we age.
ReplyDeleteI always seem to hit the candy aisle at Walgreens and then I lose all sense of concentration. Good of you to return to the store so promptly.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
oh that is way too much snow. we got a little, but it's 55 degrees here today so it all melted!!
ReplyDeleteLove those eggs myself Beth. ha ha - we all think we're young chicks until the body reminds us we're old, tough hens.
ReplyDeleteNow that was just sassy of you to show me those eggs-never tried them before but seriously caramel and marshmellow! OMG
ReplyDeleteHi Beth,
ReplyDeleteKnow just what you mean about the spring chicken theory. It is hard to accept not being able to do what you could once isn't it? or recover from things so speedily.
Our temps have gone up slightly too, I so hope it is a good sign, although Amanda tells me more snow flurries are forecast.
Hugs Nita
How good of you to return to the store to pay. I know doing what's right isn't a virtue, but many people wouldn't have bothered. The cashier might have gotten in more trouble if you hadn't come back to pay.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
you are a good person to return to the store , so many would have left it.When my daughter was little we had this happen, I had to drive 40 miles back to town to pay it!
ReplyDeleteI love those eggs as well, very dangerous around this house! I think you'e wise to wait for some help with the snow, I have no idea of your age but I do know I pay for things now that never bothered me before, time for us to maybe ask for a bit more help, take care, rest up,
I know they were so grateful for your honesty!!! WOW, that's a lot of snow...especially, to clean all by yourself! HOPE you're feeling better by now!!
ReplyDeleteGreat stash of candy! One of my favorites!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure they were glad that you came back and paid for your meds. I know some people wouldn't bother. But how can one live with themselves? It's the same as shop lifting and stealing not to go back and pay. Good for you!
You are brave to go out shoveling.
Thank you for visiting my blog and for your sweet comment. Thank you.
Happy Easter!
Oh the manager must have been happy to have a good and honest customer. I've never tried those chocolate eggs...good you say? Well perhaps it's time! (I know this, I can't find my favorite Cadbury eggs...all sold out already!)
ReplyDeleteThe drugstore is lucky you are honest, Beth. Enjoy that chocolate! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteLOL- I am an old biddy, too! I forget sometimes that I CAN'T do everything I used to do-aggravating, isn't it? Good for you for going back to pay for the meds. You are a good soul- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the manager really appreciated your honesty! : )
ReplyDeletethat is a good lesson in honesty Ms. Beth. That more people in this country could learn from. and I agree with every one else..they should have given you some more chocolate. I shall buy one and eat one in your honor! : )
ReplyDeleteI love those eggs too! I like the coconut one best :)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to go back! sandie
ReplyDeleteYou have integrity, Beth! The world would be much better if more people had integrity like you! Those eggs look good...I think I like your favorite flavor best. Enjoy the rest of the day!
ReplyDeleteYou take care of your sore muscles.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...I love those Easter eggs. Caramel is one of my favorites.
I love those TOO! I always get some. Twin we are 100% alike. I too would have gone straight back there. And have. xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteOh you poor girl! You certainly deserved those treats after what you went through!
ReplyDeleteAn honest person is gold, like you Beth. I'm glad to hear you will call on your daughter. That is too much shoveling.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the shoveling..it is tough on old arms and shoulders. Too bad you didn't love all that pretty snow:)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you got some sunshine!
ReplyDeleteHi, I m so happy to be your 200th follower! we are getting quite a lot of sunshine here in perth aust., and 31degrees centigrade at the moment! my kids would really love snow, but too hot here!
ReplyDeletethankyou for visiting my blog (via diana) and following me, its lovely to meet you!
