Maybe all IS well.

In the course of my errands today, I ran by Bookman's used bookstore to get a book for a friend. I found the book, as well as the follow-up book, sort of like the sequel. I also found a copy of another book someone recommended to me recently. I took my three books to the register, got ready to pay my total of about $20, and the cashier says, "You won." I am fiddling with impulse buy crap they put at the register, so without even looking at him, I say, "Right on. What did I win?" I expect he's going to say "$1 off your next Bookman's purchase" or something. He says, "It's free. Your purchase today is free. Four people a day are randomly chosen through the register to get their purchase for free, and you're one of the four today." He sticks my $0 receipt into my bag and shoves it at me while I'm still thinking, "Is he SERIOUS? What's the catch??" It was only $20, so for a split-second I thought, "I should have bought more" but I wasn't willing to pay more if I hadn't won, so I let go of THAT in under two seconds. I thanked him with great enthusiasm and said, "I feel like I won the lottery, the dollar amount doesn't matter." I left Bookman's feeling a bit more faith in mankind, and delighted at my little adventure of good fortune.
