East Dallas Times

By Bruce Felps

You almost redeemed yourself yesterday.

I went in to pick up an adult beverage not easily found around here — or anywhere, for that matter — and yours is the only establishment that sells it and is open on Sundays.

A newbie manned the checkout lane I chose to, um, check out. A training manager helped walk him through the transition steps, so the trainee went strictly by the book.

He rang up the item, I handed him my Kroger Plus card, swiped the debit card, and figured that was about that.

Then trainee asked for, nay, nearly demanded my ID.

Really? You want to card me? Wow, cool.

Of course, bag-boy was laughing, so that didn’t help much.

Like I said, you almost redeemed yourself.

Kisses,

Bruce
