Checkout Gal and the Mark

So I stop by Walmart on our way home from the movie this afternoon pick up some hair gel. Actually grabbed two bottles.

The check out gal ( in her early 20s) scans my soon to be purchases through. While I'm leafing through my wallet to find my debit card, I hear, "Do you want to buy something else."

I look up a little confused, and check out gal says, "Your total is $6.66. Do you want to buy something else."

I laugh... "Na."

Check out gal gets a very concerned look on her face. "Are you sure?"

She's serious... deeply concerned.

"I think I'll be okay."

She looks at me and shakes her head in disbelief as if to say, "It's your doom and destruction for paying the mark of the beast buddy."

Interesting encounter.

I had the same thing happen to me when I rented a couple movies at Blockbuster. They asked if I wanted to grab some candy or something since my total was $6.66. I also passed not thinking it was that big of a deal.
