**Adjusting moderator hat** Let's put the controversy to rest. Knot's sig was never complained about. There was a thread that the admins thought would get out of hand, and so it was shut down.

**throws hat in the air**

I just ran into the most amazingly stupid woman at Target. I was checking out, a man and his little boy were in front of me. The boy has a Thomas the Tank Engine Lego set; I asked if it was for him. He nodded solemnly, and I told him I thought that was very cool.

Dad uses his charge card, signs the little screen thing and waits. The checker begins scanning my stuff; then hands me the bag. I point to the gentleman and say "He's waiting for his receipt" She gives me this vacant look, then hands him the receipt.

I step up to the POS thing, and she stands there looking at me. (At this point, I'm thinking cows look more intelligent) I say "I need to pay for my items". She points the the man and little boy leaving the store "Oh, you're not with him?" Uh, no, perhaps you should stop him before he gets home and realizes he just paid $70 for a lego set? She stands there. ***moo*** So I run after him to let him know what happened.

PITA getting everything straightened out. OH! And she tells her supervisor it's our fault - we were talking to each other! So remember, no conversations with 4 year old boys while waiting to check out at Target.
