Nice Price If You Can Get It

A Wal-Mart employee in Natchez, Mississippi has been charged with embezzlement. She allegedly rang up a tab of $5.25 for merchandise costing more than $500. The customer was also charged.

Honest mistake? You be the judge.

The customer was charged $5.25 for --

... seven pairs of jeans, a baby crib, a pair of scrubs, a picture frame, sweat suit, laundry detergent, a bra, four pairs of pants, diapers, pizza, coffee, four 12-packs of drinks, canned goods, air freshener, nachos, noodles, frozen goods, chips and a family pack of beef.

Or maybe they just wanted their piece of the stimulus package pie in advance.

Not much hope, just some spare change.
