This is completely true. I worked retail as well and people (the majority) don't care about anything but getting away with paying as little as possible. I've seen people hedge around over a measly $10 before.
Back when I was working support, I had tons of people who would simply leave a text document called "important" or "passwords" on their desktop with all of their passwords, credit card info, personal phone numbers, etc.
Unbelievable. Some of these weren't home computers either and any coworker could get all that info so easy.
Cool link.. lost myself in the nostalgia there for quite a while. I remember when my dad brought home a Pet computer and I played that old Dungeon style game on it for hours. All the monsters were ascii characters.:) Good schtuff

Maybe they forgot something when they left and hitched a ride back to pick it up??
