Grocery cashier to little old lady in front of me: "That will be $38.17"
Little old lady in front of me proceeds to open her pocket book which is in the fold-down thing of her shopping cart, fishes out her check book, places check book on the ledge thingy by the card scanner, looks at read-out for the total again, writes check out with pain-staking clarity, hands check to cashier, takes receipt and puts in her wallet, opens check book again and writes check amount on her check register, subtracts $38.17 to get he new balance, then places her check book back in her pocket book. if I'm lucky she leaves before recalling that she forgot to give the cashier a coupon.
