Late Night "Coke" Run

(Editor's Note: Where I come from in Texas, everything is Coke.  What kind of Coke do I drink?  Dr. Pepper.  Now, stay with me, because that's about to become important for your east coast folk who call it soda or pop or whatever.)

I just made my usual late night Dr. Pepper "Coke" run to the Cashion's on the corner here in the big Cornelius, NC.  (I think my arrival here pushed the town over the 12,000 mark.   Hoorah.)

The cashier lady took an uncomfortable, unnecessary amount of time matching my debit card to my ID.  Now, I'm glad that she actually checked, but seriously...how sure do you need to be about the 99-cent, 44-ounce Dr. Pepper "Coke" fountain drink and the $1.25 slice of banana bread?

If I'm posing as someone else, don't you think I'm going to aim a little higher than a $2.50 purchase at a Cashion's in a small town?

At least she checked.
