The checker scans my loaf of bread. Scans the humidifier. Scans the three chocolate bars. She looks up at me.
"Sick wife and baby at home?"
"Uh, yeah."
"See it all the time. Bad time of year for it."
She goes back to scanning my purchases.
coda: At home, writing this up. Reading the receipt: "Hey, I could have earned nine points with my Fred Meyer rewards card!"
Miz Becky, coldly: "Oh, great. You fucked up again."
Me: (laugh, almost fall off of stool, high five Miz Becky)
