Geez, that WAS traumatic. Absentmindedness happens all the time to all kinds of folks, not just us psychos. Just the other day, my department administrative assistant told me she had walked out of the store with a bottle of water and when she noticed it in the parking lot, she went back in to pay.
I understand how you could get so upset in that situation--how scary!
What was the upshot--how did you leave? Did you sign?
They should not treat you this way. I am not sure what course of action you should take, but I am sure they would not like this story in the local neighborhood newspaper--you know, the weekly kind with ads from all the local merchants.
If it is a chain, I would consider going over their heads to complain. Definitely. You might also have your husband call the police to inquire about what the appropriate procedures are for merchants in this situation.
