		<description>Look s like a credit for a removed item and a reason must be given for the product refusal. There is limited space in the description field. Data entry clerk left out a word to fit field..  (High price for cheese.)  For self check out if you want to remove an item, you have to get a clerk. Was the customer short of funds to pay total or personal budget exceeded?</description>

		<description>Yeah....I don&#039;t get it. But if it is a meme being born, I&#039;ll at least have the reference right when I hear it again. 

Really though, what does the store mean when they say &quot;customer doesn&#039;t cheese&quot;? Whatever it is you didn&#039;t do brought your total down by 9 dollars. Are they rewarding you for not getting  artery-clogging foods? If you had skipped the dbl dipped choc pean would you have also received money for not subjecting your pancreas to an onslaught of sugar? If I go into that store and only buy fresh vegetables and fruits, and dried lentils and beans for soups, would a grocery store trip result in a net gain in my pocket book? Is this a new way to help people improve their poor eating habits and fight the obesity epidemic--in time for New Year resolutions too? 

On reflection, I suppose they charged you for an item you didn&#039;t have or decided not to take once you saw the price. sigh.</description>
