Mister Neon

Thinking about how I’m not going to get enough sleep.

It’s working too. OP has ice cream and this store on his mind way after purchase.

Oh hell no! I’m a vegetarian because I hate animals. I heard about that guy, literal butter fingers.

Well then it sounds like the ice cream was on promotion and then he upsold the product. The sales are probably tracked and the clerk was working harder so it would reflect well on his performance review.

The clerk sold you them at a discount, but not the grocery store? Like they were fully priced before checkout, but then discounted at the point of purchase?

My cholesterol is super high, so it’s been an excuse to drop them from my diet for a couple months.
