In Decatur, Alabama today I was in a large bookstore.  My purchase was that of 5 items.  As is the custom, I inspected my receipt after the transaction to scrutinize its accuracy.  I was not charged for the Huntsville newspaper I bought.

I did an about-face in the parking lot.  I went back into the store and informed the young lady that I had not been charged for my Huntsville paper and I needed to make good on it.

Her comment to me:  “You could have gotten out of here with it and no one would have known.”

I told her I would have known.

She was right, of course.  So was I.

Speaking the rights.
