(laugh) You win! Too funny, and I can easily see me doing just
that, except my cloth bag would be in the cart under my pocketbook.

I need to pay more attention. Earlier this week, I went to Costco. I
needed a few things but I specifically waited until this week because I
had the buy 1 get 1 free chicken coupon. Was out to my car when I
realized I hadn't handed the cashier the coupon. (bad words here)
I went back inside and told the return desk, she said, sure, I'll fix it.
As she's trying to figure out how to accomplish that, she had to call
over the supe (her word) and they figured it out together.

It was only 8 bucks, but damned if I was leaving without it. Heh.
What a dummy.
