and I like that use of "elopement"
Yesterday, I saw something I thought was nice at our local grocery.
A customer placed all of her groceries on a check stand that had no cashier.
My cashier called her
by name three times asking her to come to his register
The woman had a blank stare and didn't move.
My cashier then called for assistance by saying: "We have a "lost customer" at stand #4"
