First, my store is in a very upscale part of town - meaning most of my customers have a PDA or high end phone glued to their ear coming through my line.
Anyway, I've seen a lot of SC's, a lot of clueless idiots, and a lot of everything, I've been in customer service and retail for over a decade.
LW = lost wallet
Me = .... duh.
Me: Hi, how are you today?
LW: *holds up "shush" finger and keeps blabbing on her phone*
Me: *scans items* your total is 666.66, would you like to pay with your soul?
LW: *holds up shush finger again while blabbing on phone and swiping card*
Card goes through, I hand her a receipt, she walks out.
Less than 2 minutes later I hear a screeching behind me. I turn around and LW is behind me screeching "I LEFT MY WALLET HERE! WHERE IS IT? I DON'T SEE IT!"
I calmly say "That wallet?" and point at the wallet firmly cradled in her left armpit.
LW: "Oh." *turns around and walks out of store, still with phone glued to ear*
My bagger and I both fell over laughing for several minutes.

I've done that before. My purse turns into a black hole at times; if I have books in there, my wallet will somehow manage to slip into a corner and evade most any search short of dumping the entire bag out.
so I need another one (I'm not so mad about having to replace the pass than I am about the case and two MTA cards in there that had money on them). I now keep the pass in one of the front pockets of my bag, and it's slipped out of view sometimes.
