(I am working the self checkouts. A family has just voided an item off their ticket and I come over to see what’s up. They consist of a mother, a father, and a 6- or 7-year-old boy. They are of Hispanic descent and seem to speak primarily Spanish.)

Me: “Hi, is anything wrong?”

Mother: “This movie is ringing up for $16-something, but we got it out of the $5 bin.”

Little Boy: “Wait, no we didn’t! We got it off the shelf!”

(The mother hits the little boy admonishingly, says something in Spanish, and then hurries off. The father, however, lingers behind.)

Father: “I’m so sorry!” *leaves*
