Son K and I were at Costco the other day. We shopped and he was tasked with getting all the stuff into the car while I went to the washroom. Once we arrived at home, I said 'where are the socks I bought?' They had been sitting at the top end of the cart in the 'baby seat'. K had been so busy getting the toilet paper and case of diet coke from the middle and bottom row of the cart he completely missed the two 6-packs of socks in the front! Off we went back to Costco, but the socks were gone within that half hour.
At customer service, this man was ahead of us with a similar problem. His whole cart of purchases had gone missing. He said his baby had been crying and he got distracted and drove home without unloading his cart of purchases! He had diapers and bottled water and a whole bunch of stuff. Customer service had pages listing found items but we were not lucky, and neither was this poor man. This must happen all the time and some people do recover their items.
I don't think this was a lesson learned, more of 'things happen'. I re-purchased the socks and we moved on!

I've done similar; particularly with bottled water at the bottom level...
Yes, thing happen, and we need to move on. Hugs, Valerie
That's too bad about the socks.
So he drove off without his purchases? That is a little forgetful
Glad the fella drove off without the purchases and not without the baby. You hear of so many people forgetting they have a baby in the backseat.
It happens to all of us at some point or another.
Thankfully it was just socks. I left my purse in a cart years ago, and realized it when I got home. I couldn't believe when I got back to the parking lot...my purse was still in the cart. God was so good to me that day.
I'm surprised they didn't offer to look up your recent purchases on their computer.
Really great! I love your post.
Things do happen ...
Glad you got your socks ok!
All the best Jan
