As he unloaded boxes, he noticed an unusual sight: a regular customer, bundled in layers against the chill, had left his shopping cart behind the counter. No one else seemed to notice it there. Curious, the delivery man picked up the empty cart and rolled it outside. There, nestled among the vegetables and spices, was a small note: 'Forgot again.'
