I always try to be friendly/courteous when shopping as well. Don't get me wrong, I strongly dislike going to Wal-Mart and usually end up mad, but I don't take it out on anyone in the store. I'm polite to anyone who works at the stores I go to, do my best to clean up toy sections when possible, put my cart back, etc. Also, if we decide as we head to check out that we don't want something, I'll go put it back where it belongs instead of cramming it in the candy area or something at the check out line. I also make a habit of picking up things people have knocked down on the floor, and everyone proceeds to kick/run over the rest of the day otherwise. For some reason that has always bothered me, that the person who makes the mess, just leaves it. Anyways, I think my shopping karma should be ok. I guess I've had pretty decent luck lately finding things I want, so I can't complain.
Dammit, you just reminded me I forgot to tape My Name is Earl this week.
No problem Ben, Earl was a rerun this week (first episode I think? can't remember)...unless you missed it the first time, you should be ok.
