Caught by a security guy
Yesterday evening I had a really weird experience in Kuressaare (the town where I was born and where my family lives). My sister lives outside the town - so, whenever I’m here, I usually stay overnight at her place. Yesterday, I picked up my sister at her work and started to drive also with her sun to one of the biggest groceries in Kuressaare just to buy some food before going to Pihtla (the village my sister lives in). In the store, when my sister had already paied for the goods (also three buns with cheese and ham) I just took some of the goods (including the three buns) to take these to the car. Just before the exit, a security guy stopped me and asked me to come to the security booth. Somehow he was specially interested in knowing the price of those buns - and to check if we had scaled them correctly (it’s a self-service), we had to go back inside the store to the scale them. For two buns, the scale gave exactly the same weight and price as was marked on the tag. For the third one, the scale now showed that it was 13 sents more expensive (13 sents = 1 US cent or less than 1 euro cent). He accused me that I had deliberately tried to make the bun cheaper. What a nonsense - I asked him if he really believed that someone would try to make a bun 13 sents cheaper!? Then he took the bun off the scale and replaced it - now it gave exactly the same weight and price as was marked on it. He seemed really dissapointed and quietly mumbled “sorry”.
But what’s absolutely ridiculous is that he made such a fuss about 13 sents. This absurdity peaked with a fact that it wasn’t me who scaled the buns - and he knew that…
