He had stockpiled a collection of individually wrapped confectionary from months of spending at the supermarket and included not only this stockpile but a head of broccoli, three cans of beer, a chocolate bar, and a pack of condoms as well, in payment for his recent purchase.

Putu, in checkout lane 3, demanded cash but the man, a civil engineer by the name of Stuart Longhorn, having accumulated his candy over months of purchases as part of the store’s policy in giving candy as change, saw ‘no reason’ he shouldnt be able to use the candy to pay for goods as it was accepted practice for them to pay him using that ‘currency’. Needless to say the store has no plans to discontinue its candy-change policy.
