Tonight (way too late - as in almost 10pm) I ran to our local grocery. It's a 5 minute drive from our house even though we live in a residential area. I wanted to get some equipment for my hike tomorrow. One of the things I bought was a new-to-me tank top and I had the following exchange.
Setting: Grocery store, 10:30 PM. 2 lanes open, one of which is express self-serve.
Cashier: checking groceries (baby food, yogurt, pizzas, clothes)
Cashier: This item doesn't have a tag on it.
Me: .... blank stare...cashier is clearly hoping I'll say "oh well, then never mind". .... silence stretches out...."Don't you have someone working in that area?"
Cashier: "Yes" (continues to scan groceries)
Me: How about if you call them to get a price check while you scan the other items
(meanwhile, other folks are stacking up in line behind us... yeah, I was that customer)
Cashier: "Ok...." (continuing to scan items
So she does call. I ask, "So, am I going to be given trouble if I need to return this item even though it doesn't have a tag on it"
Cashier: More than likely. I don't know what to tell you
At the end I just walked back there and got an identical shirt WITH a tag in case I wanted to exchange. Which is a good thing, because turns out... I kinda hated the way it looked. Oh well. More motivation to lose some weight, I guess.
