With a sheepish smile, he called his wife, who happened to be shopping there that day. ‘Honey,’ he whispered, ‘I found us some free flashlights!’ She replied with laughter, ‘You mean you found us an entire grocery store full of them?’

It became a local legend—every time someone forgot something on their list, they’d joke, ‘Maybe WinCo will deliver another surprise!’
