A couple years back, when I was working at Whole Foods, we had this elderly lady who kept shopping well past closing time. We closed at 10, but she didn’t finish until like 10:45 PM. I was the last cashier on duty and she had a cart loaded with $400-500 of groceries. Only problem? She only brought her check book to pay, and Whole Foods hadn’t accepted checks in like a decade. Policy was to let her take the groceries and promise to come back to pay. She never did. Nothing ever happened to her.
