Exercising the Right to be Arbitrary, Episode #391

Today, whilst purchasing a decanter at Ye Olde Crate & Barrel, I encountered a very large point-of-sale console that happily offered to process my credit card transaction. Its dimensions were approximately 16 inches wide by 12 inches tall, and it prompted me to sign for my purchase within a box that was approximately 10 inches wide by 6 inches tall. This seemed excessive, so I decided to draw a giant smiley face above my signature.

The cashier seemed amused. She asked me whether I did this all the time. I said no, this was the first time I'd done it.

Then I pillaged the Sweet Factory.
