Okay, so shortly afterward I pull her from her register to go into the office and count the drawer, etc. On the way to the office, an older coworker named Roland asked tongue in cheek "Are you leaving us defenseless, Sheena?"

It's also in our nature to assume coincidences are not correlative, because that goes against what we've been told. Doesn't mean it's not true. Especially when I experience this type of stuff all the time. <cite>Josiah_Is_Back posted [p:957737293] in Coincidenc...
