I’m no criminal unless it’s a crime to want to put your receipt in a safe place

It’s probably a good thing for the local merchants that the Sisters have been split up this year for holiday shopping. Ava is especially hostile since she now works at a job that requires timely attendance – not that her hostility extends to Amy who is wandering the earth having a grand time and writing at will.  Not much anyway.

While Amy was upsetting the Lush employees with her reasonable gift budget, Ava was over at Costco standing on line

This is what Ava’s wallet looks like. Seriously.

at the exit so an idiot with a green marker coud look her over like a criminal, judge her purchases, and grunt at her that she could leave. Ava left more hostile than when she went in.

A little background here: Ava saves all receipts until she is certain she doesn’t neeed them. She never misplaces them or loses them. The second the cashier hands her the receipt, she folds it in half, and places it ithe receipt section of her

purse. Everytime she does it at Costco, Amy says “It’s like you’re an idiot.” Perhaps true.

Combining both our mottos!

However, it turns out Ava is not the only person annoyed by the receipt checking at Ccostco. Here is a quote from a like minded citizen –

“After checking out, I deliberately leave the receipt at the register. Sometimes the assistant to the checker will hurriedly bring it to me. I refuse it. This is an important step in the process of keeping the honor of free people everywhere.”

Now, Ava could never leave her receipt at the register, but she can certainly appreciate the honor of free people everywhere and applauds this reporter for standing up for the rest of us at Costco.

Vive la revolucion! And happy holiday shopping to all!
