a funny thing happened at the gas station

So on day two of this challenge. I had a day... well, one of those days that you just shake your head in disbelief and ask, "what exactly am i supposed to be learning from that?"  So anyway, I had to have a co-worker drive me to a gas station to get gas.(yet my car wasn't on empty)  This is not my usual gas station. And I think, "Gee there are alot of candy bars in here.  I wonder that they could ever sell them all, they must get stale."  Then with my gas line water treatment in hand I am standing at the till.  And low and behold what is on the counter!!!

double packed jumbo sized peanut butter cup and snickers. My Favourites! and they are buy two for four dollars

I look away. my resolve not weakened at all.  Just then the kindly cashier comes to wait on me and after ringing in my purchase asks, "Would you like to buy a candy bar?" ..... "No thanks", I automatically say.  but inside im exclaiming, "COME ON! GIVE ME A BREAK! Seriously who gets asked if they want to buy a candy bar!"

At first I think this is just Karma, temptation, the universe, whatever.  I hop in the car and laughingly tell my co-worker, whose never been asked at point of purchase if he wanted to buy a candy bar.  He says that maybe she was just trying to boost the sale so i'd qualify for air miles. I think that's a stretch.  Then it occurred to me.... "Maybe she caught a longing look in my eye? Maybe my expression read "geezz, i'd sure like one!" .... Haha! if that's the case I should never play high stakes poker!
