Daylight Robbery

When we go to Orlando to pick up someone at the airport, Barb likes to go to Costco.  The Costco in Orlando is the closest one to us.

We are always in a rush because it closes so early in the evening.  We got to Costco this year an hour before closing.  Barb was rushed trying to find her Costco card at the door.

She finally found her card and showed it to the man at the door.  Then we walked in the entrance.  Then we snuck around to the exit to the food court because we were hungry.  We wanted something fast because we didn’t have much time.

There was a line up at the food court. Barb went to use the washroom.  I stood in line.  When she came back I was still in line.  So I took my turn to go to the washroom.

I was in the washroom and I heard a woman in the women’s washroom screaming that she had lost all her money.

I went back to the line and found out that the panicking lady was Barb.  She told me that all her money and her credit cards were gone.  Her purse pocket where she usually puts her money and credit cards was unzipped and the pocket was empty.

Barb ran to the entrance to talk to the man there because that was the last place she had seen her money and cards.  The man said that he hadn’t seen anything that was dropped.  He told her to go to the customer service desk where they have a lost and found.

While she was waiting at the desk, she found her money and her cards in another pocket in her purse.  I guess she took the cards out of her usual pocket to show the man at the entrance but in her fluster she put them back in a different pocket.
