A man brought two books up to the register, one to return, one to purchase. "I bought THIS one (Tears of a Clown), when I was supposed to buy THIS one (Broke). Can I return this one?", he asked.
"Sure thing," I said.

A man brought a book to the register to return. Have a New You by Friday. I asked if there was anything wrong with the book, trying to get at the reason for the return.
"No, nothing wrong with it. It's just that it's only Monday now, and I don't want to wait until Friday to have a new me." He paused.
"Just kidding," he said.
I liked it.

A man, maybe in his 60's, olive green polo shirt, sandy hair, a little jowly, came up to the register with two gift cards, each with $25 printed on them.
"I'd like to find out if there's even a balance on these. I don't know if there's any money left on them, I just found them."
"Sure thing, let me check for you. Yep, each one still has $25."
"Wow, that's great," he said shaking his head. "My sister just died, and I found them when I was cleaning out her things. I was coming over this way anyway and thought I'd see if they still had money on them. It's like a gift from her from the great beyond. Wow. All right, I need to do some shopping then."
About 45 minutes later he brought up a wide variety of items for checkout, including a large Playboy book in a box, a yoga book, some gift notepads, and a book on history from World War II. "I'm getting presents for everybody in the family. I think that's what she would have wanted. I hope I picked out what she would have picked for people. Oh wait, let me get some chocolate too...one of each kind."
"That's great, what a wonderful way to remember her for your family," I said.
The books totaled over $200. "This will be great. It's like she's giving to us even now. She was only 61. But this is wonderful. Thank you for your help!"
