I swung by work last night and grabbed a few things, and went through a register of a cashier I had never seen before in my life.  She seemed to know what she was doing, so I haven't a clue how we haven't come across each other.  Anyway, I showed her my discount card, and she insisted on actually taking it out of my fingers instead of just scanning it with the hand scanner while I held it.  Okay, whatever.  Then, she dropped it into her coupon drawer.  I just stared at her, wondering what in the world just happened.  Before I could think of a nice way to ask for it back (I mean, really?) she realized what she had done and gave it back.  I just never expected to have it confiscated for buying some soup and sodas!  Note to self...hold on to that thing for dear life...I may not get it back one day.
