Balanced out

January 27, 2024, Saturday afternoon, 3:29pm, pacific standard time, parking lot, office building, Laguna Niguel,California, USA. I dropped my daughter off to meet a friend at the Aliso Viejo town center. To kill time before picking her up I went to the gym then the grocery store. I was hungry so I put a little snack tray in my shopping cart along with two big plastic water containers. Since the containers were heavy I didn’t lift them and used the handheld scanner instead. After getting to the car I realized I failed to scan the snack tray. I thought about going back to pay but was too embarrassed so I decided not to. Then when I went to eat the snack I noticed the meat looked funny. Turns out the tray expired a month ago. The universe has a way of balancing out.
