After ordering up a grilled <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1281-what-a-168-cheese-sandwich-can-teach-us-about-hype-value.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cheese &amp; tomato sandwich<\/a>, French fries, a big chocolate chip cookie, and a small Coke in the company cafeteria I moseyed over to the checkout counter with my tray full of food.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Six-fifteen, Hon,&#8221; said the cashier.<\/p>\n<p>So I reached into my pocket to get my wallet and &#8230; <em>uh-oh<\/em>. It wasn&#8217;t there!<\/p>\n<p>Now if you&#8217;ve been in this predicament before, you know the feeling. In my case, I ended up experiencing the five stages of grief in exactly 10.7 seconds:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denial: <\/strong><em>Wait a minute, I <\/em><strong>never<\/strong><em> forget my wallet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Anger: <\/strong><em>What?! Six dollars plus for <\/em>this <em>lunch? I knew I should have gone to Sizzler!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bargaining: <\/strong><em>Dear God: I&#8217;m now going to slowly reach down and check my left shoe. If you would kindly perform a little miracle for me &#8212; just this once &#8212; I promise &#8230; Nope.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Depression: <\/strong><em>I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s only a matter of time before I have to start wearing Depends too.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acceptance: <\/strong><em>Well, maybe washing dishes won&#8217;t be as bad as I thought. (I just hope the diners ignored the Stroganoff today.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After accepting my inglorious fate, I made my biggest puppy dog eyes and looked up at the cashier. &#8220;I&#8217;m very sorry, Dorothy,&#8221; I said, &#8220;But I, uh, forgot my wallet at home today. I&#8217;ll be happy to wash dishes if you just let me eat my lunch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Actually, my dish-washing proposal was a weak attempt at making light of a bad situation. I really <strong><em>wasn&#8217;t<\/em><\/strong> happy about the prospect of washing oodles of noodles and other gravy goop off of the cafeteria plates and trays. Then again, what else was I going to do?<\/p>\n<p>In the back of my mind I quickly ran down a list of other potential fates waiting for me aside from washing dishes. Dorothy could challenge me to play a game of <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1618-are-you-smarter-than-a-5th-grader-then-calculate-this-bills-tip-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?<\/a> by making me recite my credit card number from memory. Of course, that wouldn&#8217;t be so bad if my credit card number was 6, but it&#8217;s not. She could also call the cops or, even worse, get a couple of her fry cooks to drag me into the back room and beat me like a 5-egg frittata.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the uncertainty of what was to come made me more than a bit uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>After my little remark about washing dishes, Dorothy quickly tipped her eyeglasses down her nose, staring at me over the rim. <em>Uh oh; here it comes. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id9141-are-you-getting-the-most-from-your-wallet-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">forgot your wallet<\/a>?&#8221; she asked with a poker face that would have intimidated Wild Bill Hickok.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to give her a long-drawn out explanation as to how I could be so stupid to forget my wallet at home, but all I could muster was a pathetic nod.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s okay, Hon,&#8221; she said with a laugh. &#8220;Can you remember to come back tomorrow and pay?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Really? <\/em><\/strong>I was so relieved I wanted to kiss her, but I just gave her another nod and a big smile before thanking her for being so understanding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enjoy your lunch, Hon,&#8221; she replied matter-of-factly.
