Can You Say Ridiculous?

So like my last blog, I took a break from the relationship topic because on Sunday it just so happened Jay Cutler and the Bears made me and pretty much the entire state of Illinois upset. Now this tiny situation that took place Tuesday I could not pass up to share to you. 

As I do just about each day, I go to the Union to either eat lunch or grab it to go. Well I had my lunch/dinner already planned out. I was going to eat my Subway sandwich for lunch and take my Subway salad to-go for dinner later that night. More often than not it is extremely busy in the food court at around noon so I usually forget to grab the dressing for my salad. As I do not appreciate the brand of salad dressing that Subway offers I ALWAYS pass on theirs and grab the Chick-Fil-A dressing in the refrigerated coolers. 

So as I was leaving I ran back in and grab me some Chick-Fil-A ranch. I kindly showed the cashier (who is not a student by the way) my salad and receipt and briefly explained my situation. He responded with "I'm going to need to charge you for that". I was slightly confused because as far back as I can recall salads usually come with salad dressing, silly me. Then my roomie Marie got in on the action( by saying she never once had been charged the 27 cents for salad dressing if she had a salad). Keep in mind she was not inside the "caged" food area. He refuted back by saying "I see a salad in your bag and the dressing so I need to charge you too". Blah Blah Blah the ridiculous argument went on. Not that I gave a hoot about the money, it was the fact that this man was getting all crazy about it. THEN he said "I'm going to call the cops on you two because that's stealing!!!"... I would say I am pretty respectful and I can understand rules and that people have to do their job. So after I couldn't help but laugh in his face I responded you should then get your employees on the same page so that people know and I graciously handed him my P Card to swipe our dressings. 

Anyways, after that elaborate story I just had to share, I now am thinking what if I was stubborn, didn't pay and he called the cops on us. I could only imagine my father's reaction when he would learn I was in cuffs for salad dressing. Here's the kicker... My dad is a cop. My brother is a cop. And it just so happens that I have been taking police tests to follow in their footsteps AND in the past I got stuck with a security job at Whole Foods. So after thinking of my dad's reaction I then thought what the hell the cops would actually think or say to both the cashier and myself. It's pretty safe to say I would get let go with no consequences or have to tell my future Chief of Police that I was arrested for salad dressing.
