I went to Aldi today. And as side note, it is blowing snow. By the time I pushed my cart the 2 miles to get there, I looked like a walking snow woman. Anyway, I got in and picked up my groceries and slipped a couple of smaller items into my reusable grocery bags so they wouldn't fall out of the cart. It's not exactly a fine mesh and I do this all the time. I just pull the stuff out of my bags to put on the conveyor when I get to the checkout.
Aldi has a set up where you take your stuff to a counter after you get through the checkout to bag it yourself. Also, if you don't bring your own bags, you have to buy the bags. Plastic for 10 cents, paper in varying sizes for varying prices, etc. I picked up my bags and a couple of things came rolling out.
I sheepishly went back to the cashier and told her what happened. As I did so, she started ringing up the next person's groceries.
Me: (holding up items) These rolled out of my bags. I forgot they were in there and I need to pay for them.
Cashier: You need to buy how many bags?
Me: No, these were in the bags I already have. I forgot to put them up here to pay for them and I need to buy them.
C: Ok. I need to finish theirs first. (setting aside my items)
Me: No problem.
She finishes ringing them up and then scans my two items and reaches for the bags.
C: How many bags did you need?
Me: I don't need any bags. I was just saying these things were in my bags and I forgot to pull them out to pay for them.
C: OOOOooooohhh! I'm so sorry!
We had a good laugh over it. Mutual brain burp.
ETA: Snow was worse on the way home. 1/4" of accumulation on my groceries by the time I got back!
