Attempted to steal a bag of fries because I need something to keep me fed. Used a calculator and all to make sure my groceries came to a round 10. But got hit with 11.60. Told the guy I’d go put it back but said “ugh fuck it.”. Security caught up to me and I gave the fries back.

Went home and decided to read the receipt and lo and behold, a bag of fries paid for.

I probably got double charged at the counter. I’ve also issues that make me exploitable. And this was my first attempt at being not good for my own benefit. It’s probably my last.

I’ve lost two days worth of sleep over this. I’m tired, I have no potatoes.

TL;DR: Tried to steal fries. Turns out I paid and handed back a bag of fries that I paid for. The universe is funny like that.
