I feel sucky.

I've just been to the supermarket and done my monthly shop plus a few extras to "try something new today." (Heh, i'm so subtle) Got a taxi home, the nice taxi guy helped me load and unload my stuff each end too.

The sucky part came when i picked up my coat, which the taxi driver had taken in and out of the car and a bag with sirloin steaks in it fell to the floor. I checked my receipt...yup, i didn't pay for them...

So now i have £8.70 (about $16 ish i think) of stolen sirloin steak in my refridgerator and i feel kinda bad.

Think i should go back, fess up and pay?

Since you are taking a taxi, I'd probably pay next time I went to the store. Keep the tags on the steaks so they can scan them.

Good idea, it's one of those custom-printed labels as i got it from the fresh meat counter.

I only go that way once a month because it's in the oppositte direction to anywhere else i usually need to go.

Huh. I guess you can call and let them know you will pay for them.
Or if you want to know if you will get the police breaking down your door for not paying for them...
I was doing a demo at a store. I brought a cooler to keep the drink product I was demoing cold. I pay for items at the end of the day, but forgot to pay for the drinks left in the cooler, which I took home. I think it was 2 cans. The store was more than 10 miles away, so I didn't go back to pay for them. So far no police came to haul me away.

But it sounds bad that you had them in your coat. It would have been one thing if the cashier forgot to ring you up...ok, not much of a difference. Just looks worse. Like if you are worried the store will go through their surveillance tapes and see you had steaks in your coat, yeah, I would be afraid. But the odds that they would track you down is min.

I still feel bad about the drinks I accidently brought home.

I enjoy the visual of someone being arrested for steaks in their coat.

Why does this remind me of the Two Ronnies sketch at the supermarket? (find it on youtube here)

The two are carrying out different conversations in adjacent phone booths and the conversations are matching up. Ronnie B is talking to a frined who had a one night stand and Ron C is going through his shopping list with his wife.


Ron B: She was wearing a "Cross Your Heart" Bra?
Ron C: I thought it said Oxo.
Ron B: Oh, I See, so you took the opportunity to have a er...
Ron C: Butchers? Yes dear....No I didn't forget the steaks.
Ron B: You saw her do what to the Bra?
Ron C: Fillet...With two portions of sirloin. Yes I did make sure they were tender dear.

Coincidentaly this sketch also happens at the supermarket where you "Try somethign new every day"

Please Please go back and pay for the steaks.

Any other action makes you a thief.
