| My boyfriend went to a store (that will remain nameless) to make a purchase. He purchased the item then remembered he had to get my prescription filled, so while waiting at the pharmacy, he was reading information on another item (that cost hardly anything). When they called his name to the pharmacy counter, he put what he was looking at on top of the items he had already purchased which were bagged up.
