Story amazed me: - forgets method of payment within seconds - thinks it makes sense to get coinless change returned in a cup - doesn't think to tip himself - confronted by employee but can't understand the issue and doesn't bother to reach understanding. I guess just walks away? - when confronted by police, acts out guilty person stereotype (IF I did it, there's an excuse) Taken together, it's almost beyond belief that someone could truly navigate this chain of events with pure intentions. Clearly, there are people who this could be true for. It makes me wonder if there could be a different explanation like exhaustion -> low impulse control in lizard brain -> "drunken blackout behavior" I would be thanking my lucky stars to get away with this.
