<p>[QUOTE="mattman, post: 299995, member: 2621"]You know, sometimes fate and timing work out just right. My son and me were just at the store picking up a few odds and ends for dinner and I go to check out, I'm already waiting in the cashiers line when the dreaded code 22 on aisle 4 comes up. My son says he's going over by the end aisle to watch the movie they had playing and he'd wait for me over there. I said I'll just go to that aisle anyway since I got to wait now anyway. I switch aisles, which is the self checkout aisle that automatically gives you your change back.I do my order and wouldn't you know it, it says please pick up your change up at the cashiers desk. ($2.52) I go to the desk to get my change and there is only one penny in her draw so she grabs a roll and cracks it open, my eyes lit right up as I watched all the wheaties just fall out! I told her right then I wanted them all, no problem, she just gave me a 2.00 and all the wheaties. (I told her not to worry about the extra cent owed) I also had her check to see if there were any other rolls wrapped the same, none, and the next roll she opened was all new 2007 shiney ones. Anyway, if it wasn't for a few acts of fate, (the dreaded code22, my son wanting to see the movie, the self checkout out of change, only having 1 cent in the drawer and not 2 ) I would have got nothing but my change and a bag of chicken wings! I had her give me the wrapper from it but there was nothing on it but a bank that isn't from around here, no name, nothing. I haven't checked the dates yet,(did take a quick pic tho) but there a at least 4 steels in it. As soon as I'm done here helping the kid with his homework, ( I'm typing this during math!) and find my mag. glass I'll check the dates and post them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mattman[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
