guilty generosity!!??

Yea I know, those two words don't go together. But in my crazy world they do... :)
Yesterday we went to Dirt Cheap for our weekly bargain hunting. It turned out a flop, but Carter did mange to find a pack of Hot Wheel cars priced way to high for a discount store. So on the way out I passed the cars off the the cashier and asked her to put them away because we didn't want to buy them. The second Carter realized what was going on he let out a tremendous scream and started throwing a fit. Being a pro at dealing with this kind of behavior (we seem to have ALOT of temper tantrums in our house, LOL),I just scooped the kid up and walked out the door at fast as possible. On my way out the door the cashier speedily gave me a bag and said Merry Christmas. Carter immediately (YES, immediately, can I just say rotten) stopped crying as we both realized she had given us the cars for free. At first I was thinking,well that was very generous of her. But then here comes the guilty part. I started thinking did she just steal the cars and give them to me? No I didn't steal the cars, but did I take something from someone that was stolen? Should've I had said no and given them back and hurt her feeling for trying to do something nice. The whole way home, I was feeling guilty for taking the cars from the cashier. Oh well, I am going with the story that the cashier paid for the cars and then generously gave them to Carter and that she was just trying to spread a little Christmas cheer!!!

I wouldn't feel too guilty. I took my sister in laws to dirt cheap for their first time and 3 toys we bought didn't work well and I bought a leapster game for $5 only to find that there wasn't a game in the package!
