Some days you just shouldn't get up
Last night I was on my way to meet a friend for a good ol' cup o' joe & checked my bank balance just to make sure my mental balanced matched the actual fiscal situation as recorded by my bank. You can imagine my shock when the numbers repeated back to me amounted to several hundred dollars less than what I had anticipated. Today I scurried to the bank to ask for a printout of account activity for the past few weeks & found several transactions which I certainly did not make. I objected to the teller immediately & asked if she might look up the details. A point of sale transaction totaling $462 was made in BFE Pennsylvania at... wait for it... KMart!!!!!! Having never (ever) made a purchase at KMart (much less stepped foot in ye olde PA in over 2 years) I was confident that the economic interaction was fraudulent. I had to fill out a claim for the malfeasance, cancel my debit card & order a new one, as well as try to make sure I withdrew enough cash to pay for my three-day weekend. Just color me incensed at this point. The good news is that as soon as my bank completes their investigation and concludes that I have NOT been running a small-scale bicoastal scam, they'll reimburse my account. In the meantime it just makes for a fun little story, yes?
